“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”  Hippocrates

Naturopathic Nutritionist seeks to restore the whole body’s ability to restore balance, vital energy through changes in diet, lifestyles, correcting nutritional deficiencies and naturopathic cleansing techniques. The body never works against us, I seek, dig deeper   to identify and address the root cause of symptoms, not just suppressing the symptoms. 

Hippocrates, often referred to as the “Father of Medicine,” had a holistic approach to health and wellness that included various methods for body cleansing and detoxification.

 In Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy we don’t “treat” named diseases but help the body to get back to balance so that it can heal itself as much as it is able.

Nutritional Therapy in clinic

In-Clinic Nutritional Assessment

Your consultation includes an in-depth look at your health history, family background, current diet, and lifestyle. If food sensitivities or intolerances are suspected, kinesiology (muscle response testing) may be used.

You may be recommended supplements or remedies to follow for 4–6 weeks, followed by a reassessment to adjust the plan if needed.

Your Personalised Programme

After the consultation, a tailored plan will be created for you. This may include:

• Specific supplements

• Dietary and lifestyle adjustments

• Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy

• Emotional support techniques you can practice at home

We aim to identify and address the root causes of your symptoms—not just the surface-level issues.

Important Notes

• Supplements don’t heal—your body does. Healing happens when your body gets what it needs and removes what it doesn’t.

• Supplements are not medicines like blood pressure pills. They help repair functions disrupted by deficiency.

• A Functional Medicine approach may be recommended if deeper investigation is needed, though this can be more costly.

• Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is often suggested to identify key mineral imbalances—referred to as “the spark plugs of life.”

Ongoing Support

Naturopathic Nutrition focuses on long-term changes for lasting health. Many clients return for regular follow-ups to adjust their plan gradually as their body regains balance.

Whether you want a full consultation or just a short session for clarity, motivation, or supplement advice, support is available.

Final Thoughts

Supplements can help—but only when used with knowledge and care. Understanding ingredients, dosages, and potential allergens is vital.

As holistic nutritionists, we always prioritise a balanced, nourishing diet as the foundation of good health.

The number of sessions you may need depends on your individual journey, how long you’ve followed recommendations, and your commitment to change.

As we age, change can be more challenging—but with the right nutrition, movement, rest, and stress support, your body has the amazing ability to heal and thrive.

An in-clinic Nutritional Assessment involves an in-depth discussion of your history and family history, your diet, and your lifestyle.

This is followed by a Kinesiology Muscle response evaluation, appropriate supplements and Nutritional remedies for the next 4-6 weeks.

Nutritional Therapy online

This is an online clinic via Zoom. The Nutritional Assessment involves an in-depth discussion of your history, family history, diet, and lifestyle, followed by evaluation, appropriate Recommendations of Nutritional remedies, and appropriate supplements if needed.

 After the consultation, a personalised nutritional programme will be prepared for you, which includes dietary and lifestyle change recommendations, including supplements if needed, and explanations of the root causes of imbalance that may be the cause of your presenting symptoms.

As a Naturopathic Nutritionist, I do not diagnose. I educate people on how to identify, understand, and nurture their predispositions and how to help them bring their bodies back into balance so that they can start their innate healing process.   

I will teach you how to understand your stressors and triggers and to take responsibility for your own health.  The healing with dietary and lifestyle changes comes from you.  I guide you to your healing journey.
