What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic medical system that emphasises health promotion and disease prevention. Naturopaths are experts in natural medicine and in consultation, we address the underlying cause of your condition and support the body's self-healing capacity. Naturopaths in Australia complete a 4 year Bachelor of Health Science and are trained to provide individualised, evidence-informed health plans that incorporate dietary and lifestyle guidance as well as nutritional and herbal remedies.

The Healing Power of Nature
Naturopathic medicine recognizes and respects the inherent self-healing ability of the body.
Identify and Treat the Cause
A naturopath seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than trying to eliminate or suppress symptoms.
First Do No Harm
Naturopaths use therapies that are safe, non-invasive and effective.
Doctor As Teacher
Naturopaths educate their patients and promote sovereignty over health.
Treat the Whole Person
Naturopaths treat each patient by considering all facets of an individual’s well-being, including physical, mental, emotional, social and environmental factors.
​
Prevention is best
Naturopaths emphasize the prevention of disease over treating symptoms alone.
