Hi Everyone, I am a fully qualified and registered naturopath and medical herbalist. For the past almost six years I was a member of the Apothecary team in the Tannery in Christchurch. My home is in North Canterbury so it is very exciting to finally open up a clinic in Kaiapoi. My passion number one lies in working with families and children in particular as I am a big believer that the sooner you can start your healing journey the better outcome and the better quality of life you will lead. After all there is nothing more precious than health and overall wellbeing. Natural medicine is all about holistic healing approach which means looking at someone as a ‘complex being’ that is not just the symptoms but has a body, mind and spirit, certain diet and lifestyle and much more. Natural medicine can not only treat acutely but also prevent and maintain balanced state. I am able to help you with various health concerns from immunity build up, treatment of colds and coughs, those healthy lunches to allergies, behavioural issues (ADD/ADHD, ASDs), anxiety and sleep problems to name a few. This also includes the pre natal, in natal and post natal areas. Natural remedies are safe and gentle with way fewer side effects than ordinary medicines and each treatment plan is individualized to suit each particular client. There is no one size fits all. My passion number two is all about complex cases ranging from auto immune disorders to anything chronic and stubborn - allergies and intolerances, IBS/IBD, CFS, fibromyalgia, Crohn's, psoriases, traumas and injuries etc. My passion number three involves mental health or as I call it emotional wellbeing whether it is stress, sleep, anxiety or depression. I can also work with your doctor or therapist to wean you off your medications. Happy balanced mind equals happy life.
