FAQ

  • ○ Naturopathy is a holistic natural health practice that aims to find the root causes of your symptoms. Naturopathy views health in its entirety not merely the absence of disease and symptoms but optimal function and this includes wellness of the body as well as the mind, which is why we often include lifestyle goals in our plans.

    ○ Naturopathy works by identifying what the body needs, by encouraging homeostasis, that is the body's ability to heal, by removing obstacles to health, by restoring the function or supporting the structural integrity of some body systems or by restoring/supporting cellular pathways.

    ○ Naturopaths have slightly different ways of working. Modalities used may differ from one naturopath to another, but they generally include medicinal plants and nutritional strategies in the form of foods and/or in the form of high-quality supplements.

  • ○ If this is about a supplement we have prescribed, please feel free to contact us, and we’ll answer you as soon as possible.

    ○ If this is about a supplement you have heard about and you are already a client of ours, please book an Express Consultation (15mn)

    ○ If this is about a supplement you have heard about and you are not already a client of ours, we highly recommend that you book an Initial Consultation(60mn), so we can have a clear understanding of this supplement's adequacy to your unique situation, whether interactions are to be considered with other supplements or medication you might be taking.

  • ○ We want to understand you as a whole person, not just your symptoms but we try to find out what is going on and which body systems need support or which pathways may not be working optimally. Sometimes, we want to order some blood tests or some functional tests to understand this further. We need to understand your interaction with your food, your environment, your personal health history, and the illnesses you have had in your life. Those may be terrains or sustaining factors to your current state of health.

  • ○ Prioritising one's health can be so hard when we have so many responsibilities to juggle and so little time. By accessing this website, you're taking the first step. We can help you identify your health goals and make them fit your schedule.

  • ○ Yes, you can book with us for concerns other than stress management. Although we specialise in stress management and brain health, stress may not be your primary concern and you may want to address concerns such as insomnia, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances.

  • I presently take online consultations only. It is an easy way to fit a 1-hour consultation into busy schedules. Rest assured that lots can be achieved online through thorough questioning. However, in case I consider a face-to-face consultation appropriate and more beneficial to my patients, I can arrange home visits. This is on a case-by-case basis and arranged at my discretion.

    I also have a stall on Saturdays at the Kyilla Community Farmers’ Market in North Perth.

    My next stall’s day will be Saturday 20/09/2025.

  • ○ Functional testing is sometimes expensive and not covered by your health insurance, but it can inform targeted strategies and help you save time. Functional testing is often a good approach to understanding how your body functions. Always discuss your concerns with your practitioner; they may be able to propose alternatives and compromises that help you both achieve your goals.
