Treating The Whole You
CORE PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE MY WORK
How I Work
TREATING THE WHOLE YOU
In my nutritional therapy practice, I believe in fostering a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. I prioritise empathy and understanding, recognising that each individual’s health journey is unique.
At the same time, I also believe in being straightforward and honest with my clients. I understand the importance of providing clear and accurate information, even if it may be difficult to hear at times. I strive to communicate openly and transparently, offering guidance and support while also addressing any challenges or areas for improvement in a constructive manner.
By combining compassion with straightforwardness, I aim to create a space where clients feel empowered to make positive changes to their health and well-being. My goal is to support them every step of the way on their journey towards optimal health, while also providing the necessary guidance and accountability for them to achieve their goals and feel confident within themselves moving forward.
Using the body's inherent ability to heal itself
My Ethos
GUIDED BY MY CORE PRINCIPLES
As a naturopathic nutritionist I focus on treating the whole person, preventing illness, and using the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. My naturopathic approach to health and wellness is guided by using these core principles:
​
Do No Harm – prioritising safe, gentle, and non-invasive methods of treatment to minimise the risk of harmful side effects. Choosing therapies that are respectful of your body’s natural healing processes, aiming to avoid suppressing symptoms unnecessarily.
The Healing Power of Nature – The body has an innate capacity to heal itself, I support this healing process by using treatments that work in harmony with the body’s natural functions.
​
Identify and Treat the Causes – Instead of merely alleviating symptoms, seeking to identify and address the underlying causes of illness are key. By treating the root cause, long lasting and effective healing can be achieved.
​
Treat the whole person – Taking an holistic approach to health, considering the physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social factors that contribute to a person’s well-being. Using a comprehensive approach helps to tailor treatments and recognise complex interplay between different aspects of all body systems and health.
Education – This is a central aspect for me. Naturopathic care should involve passing on knowledge empowering the people I meet to take charge of their own health and make informed decisions about their treatment and wellness.
Prevention as the best cure – I like to emphasise the importance of preventing disease before it occurs. This involves assessing risk factors, heredity, and susceptibility to disease, and making the appropriate interventions to prevent illness. Lifestyle modifications, stress management, and nutritional counselling are often key components of prevention strategies.
Wellness and Health Promotion – Beyond just addressing illness, I would strive to optimise wellness and encourage my clients to pursue their highest health potential guiding them towards lifestyle choices and behaviours that promote vitality, longevity, and well-being.
My approach is deeply rooted in commitment to natural, personalised, and preventative care. Adhering to these principles, which aim to support the body’s health and own healing capabilities to foster a deeper understanding of health and wellness and contribute to a more holistic and sustainable model of healthcare.
