Listen.
Do you feel that you are at optimal health? Often we are so imbedded in our daily routines, that we forget to listen to our bodies. Our body’s way of telling us something is wrong is to present ailments that can be any of the following common symptoms:
Bloating, stomach cramps, feeling uncomfortable after meals, constipation, diarrhoea
Acne, hives, rashes, skin irritations
Missing menstrual cycles, severe PMS
Joint pain, muscle cramps, muscle pain, back aches
Recurring coughs, sneezing, itchy throat
Feeling faint, dizzy, constantly tired, headaches, night-time waking or problems falling asleep
Heal.
As a Naturopathic Nutritionist I follow the Naturopathic Principles while treating each person as an individual, requiring their own personalised nutritional approach to health. I support my client on their journey to health by:
Understanding and finding the root cause of an individual’s symptoms
Detoxification & cleansing the system
Repair, rebuild and rebalance the system
Using whole & organic foods as medicine
Using herbs, homeopathy, tissue salts and nutritional supplements as support medicine
Using Bach Flowers as emotional support remedies

What is digestion?
It is the breakdown and absorption of nutrients and the formation of wastes. The digestive system starts in the mouth, follows to the stomach, the small intestine and the large intestine. It includes the gallbladder, the pancreas and the liver. It is the most important system in the body for Naturopathic Nutrition. If the digestive system is not functioning correctly, nutrients will not be absorbed.
What are Phytonutrients?
Phytochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants which are beneficial to human health. Various plants and their properties not only nourish us, but they help to prevent disease with their highly therapeutic properties. There are over 25,000 different phytonutrients. We need phytonutrients in order to survive.
