What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic health care system – which considers all the systems of the body when looking for the underlying causes of illness. As such, naturopaths evaluate all aspects of a person – mind, body and soul – as all are believed to be important in returning a person to optimal health and wellness.
The following principles are the foundation of naturopathic medicine:
• Recognition of self healing. The naturopath aims to remove all obstacles to this natural process.
• Identify and treat the cause, rather than just the symptoms.
• First do no harm. Minimise side effects of treatments, avoid harmful suppression of symptoms, work with an individual’s self healing process.
• Be the educator. The Naturopath teaches the client to encourage self-responsibility for health.
• Treat the whole person. The goal is to achieve a holistic balance of an individual’s physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and spiritual health.
• Prevention. Emphasis is placed on intercepting disease by making appropriate interventions in partnership with clients

Herbs were amongst one of humans first medicines, in fact a number of pharmaceuticals available today have their foundations from herbs. Herbs have been used historically and traditionally by all peoples, all over the world right from the age of time.
I use herbal medicines to support and restore the body’s (and mind’s) equilibrium by encouraging the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
I also have a passion for rongoā (māori medicine), of which an aspect involves rongoā rākau (the use of NZ native plants).
