Christchurch Naturopath
How Naturopathy Provides Relief
As a naturopath I can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and support you through difficult life stages and periods of stress.
In the past naturopathic medicine has been called an alternate therapy but nowadays naturopathy is recognised world wide.
Naturopaths are happy to work alongside doctors and other medical professionals as complementary practitioners to promote health and wellness.
Holistic Natural Treatment for your Anxiety & Chronic Pain
As a naturopathic medicine practitioner, I include your whole body in your assessment - what we call holistic therapy. That means taking notes about the 'history' of your problems you want to discuss, then together make plans for your future.
It's not enough to have a diagnosis of pain or anxiety in it's many forms or to get pills to reduce your pain, your anxiety or stress levels - better to find out WHY?
Do you want to change any of these symptoms?

Practitioner only supplements
As a trained professional the supplements that I may prescribe are high quality, researched and made to high specifications, practitioner only supplements.

Naturopathic Medicine is by its very nature and name a natural therapy, recognised as complementary medicine or called alternative therapy.
Naturopaths are trained full-time for three to four years. The courses and subjects they study include anatomy and physiology, pharmacology also many areas of health and wellness not generally treated by doctors.
One of the strengths of naturopathic philosophy is the emphasis on being as healthy as possible and using drug-free treatments, hence reducing complications with side-effects.
Naturopathy gives you Natural Solutions for Pain or Anxiety.
