Nutritional medicine, dietary advice, and herbal medicine for women's health WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?

Naturopathy is a system of medicine that uses
herbal medicine, nutrition and natural supplementation to support the body to heal itself. Naturopathic medicine aims to get to the root cause of disease and to treat the body as a whole connected being rather than focusing on individual body parts and symptoms. NATUROPATHIC METHODS
Naturopathy uses a range of approaches, and therapies, for example:
Dietary changes
Food as medicine
Nutritional therapy
Gut Microbiome balancing
Herbal Medicine Formulations – tinctures and tea formulations, tablets and ointments
Bach Flower/ Bush flower essences
Iridology
Functional Lab testing

Are your nutritional needs being met? Do you suspect you have heavy metal toxicity in the body?

I often request hair testing for patients to check for mineral deficiencies and/ or imbalances. Hair testing shows what's been happening nutritionally in the body over an approximate 3 month period. It also gives insight into metabolism and organ/ gland functioning.

Hair tissue testing is a good way to check for heavy metals in the body and to determine what is needed for detoxification.

The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a test to consider when planning for pregnancy to check mineral balance and heavy metal toxicity in both partners.

HTMA can help me to provide more targeted naturopathic treatment.

Our Story

I grew up living, breathing the Naturopathic principles of eating whole foods and using food as medicine. With the guidance of a Naturopath and my mother’s tenacity this was the path my parents chose for us due to our family’s health problems at the time and when conventional treatment was unable to help. Naturally this influence sparked my interest in nutrition and natural medicine and therefore saw me set off for Naturopathy school.

I have practiced Naturopathy since 1998. I have built on my experience over the years through my own practices, having worked along-side Chiropractic practitioners, other Naturopaths and bodywork therapists. I lived in the US for 4 ½ years and during my time there I worked in a Naturopathic Doctor’s clinic that specialised in Autism Spectrum Disorders. This is where I trained in Craniosacral Therapy and NAET (Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Technique).

Since moving to Canberra, I worked in a clinic along-side a Chiropractor up until our 2nd child came into our lives. I now return to practice in Civic, Canberra, at Natural Selection Health Foods.

Specialising in: Digestive issues, IBS, Colitis, Cardiovascular health, Anxiety, Sleeplessness, Skin conditions, Children’s Health issues.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A CONSULTATION

In the first appointment, the persons health history is gathered in detail looking at all body systems. The diet is studied and mental emotional factors, environmental factors and possible toxicities and current treatments and medications will be taken into account. Further assessment is made through the use of Iridology, digestive function analysis and skin, tongue, face and nail signs. An initial treatment plan is devised which includes a list of dietary changes and suggestions, an initial natural medicines treatment protocol which may include a herbal medicine formulation, a vitamin/ mineral/ pro-biotic prescription and relaxation/ exercise suggestions. This appointment is for 1 hour or 1 1/2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

In the 2nd appointment, symptoms and the initial treatment protocol is reviewed and the treatment plan is adjusted and refined accordingly. Functional laboratory testing may be used. This appointment and following appointments tend to be 45 minutes.

Following appointments consist of the monitoring of symptom improvement and the review and adjustment of treatment protocols so as to enable the patient to regain their health in the quickest, gentlest and most effective way.

Rebecca works with adults and children.
