What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of health care which promotes the body’s own self-healing mechanism using natural therapies such as Nutritional Therapy, Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Environmental Medicine, Physical Manipulations, Fasting, Detoxification and Exercise, following Naturopathic principles.
The roots of Naturopathy can be traced back to the Greek philosopher Hippocrates, and the Hippocratic School of Medicine in 400 BC. Hippocrates valued the principles of Eastern medicine and believed in viewing a person as a whole, seeking the underlying cause of a disease by using the laws of nature to stimulate healing.
Naturopathic Consultations
During a naturopathic consultation we will investigate your health from many angles. Using high-tech Bio-resonance Technology we will analyse your organ functioning, vitamin & mineral levels, heavy metal toxicities and do a full body bio-health scan to identify if there are any tissues that are under particular stress.
Stresses are often found in the form of:
- Pain & Inflammation
- Pathogens such as bacteria & viruses
- Emotional stresses & trauma
- Physical injury
- Environmental Toxins & pollutants
- Nutritional deficiencies

Bio-resonance is an advanced Non-Invasive Device designed for physical examination & analysis. It uses light wave resonance to scan and detect the functional status of the human body or to trace any abnormal conditions in the tissue, cell, chromosome, DNA helix, molecule or entire organ that may have occurred gradually over time. It then provides treatment for any stresses that are found.
The device is used for assessing organ function and not structure, therefore it is not like an ECG, CT, MRI or an ultrasound scan. It is completely non-invasive and involves no radioactive substances. Bio-resonance gives us an indication of what stress the body is under and where.
Stresses are often found in the form of: pain & inflammation, pathogens such as bacteria & viruses, disease, physical injury, environmental toxins & pollutants, nutritional deficiencies and/or emotional stresses & trauma.

In Chinese medicine, every food & herb has a nature, flavour & organ or meridian associated with it. The key to optimum health is to eat foods that balance the energy in your body in a holistic way. By understanding your own constitution and knowing the energetic nature of a food, you can build a diet and eating routine that is medicinal and specific to you.
Conventional medicine diagnoses diseases based on physical symptoms, but alternative medicinal approaches like holistic nutrition have a more functional approach and can help patients to uncover the root cause that lead to disease in the first place.
In addition, I also use my knowledge of Eating Psychology to uncover behavioural patterns and facilitate the process of change. Self hypnosis tracks can be used to try and break any negative habits that may have developed and replace them with more beneficial habits.

Environmental medicine involves the study of the relationship between human health and biological, chemical, and physical factors in the environment. High levels of toxins in the human body can be linked to common conditions such as infertility, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes.
These illnesses occur when normal biological functions become compromised by stressors such as toxins. Everyone responds differently to toxins depending on our underlying health status, genetics, nutrition, exposure level and ability to detoxify on a cellular level.
Chronic exposure to a wide range of toxins undermines physiology; depletes antioxidants; and progressively damages DNA, cells and tissues.
Common environmental toxins include pesticides, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in plastics, heavy metals, especially mercury, mould and mycotoxins.
Once we have identified the areas of stress, the same technology is then used to treat them. We formulate a treatment plan based on what we find, which may include follow-up sessions of bio-resonance to treat any pathogens & microbes or treat the different levels of structure from DNA, cellular structures, and tissues to whole organs.
Alongside this, nutritional recommendations, naturopathic detoxification techniques, acupuncture, lifestyle advice and/or the use of purposeful supplementation may also be recommended.
