What is Naturopathy?

 

Naturopathy combines traditional wisdom with modern medical and scientific knowledge to help you optimise your health and wellbeing. Rather than just treating symptoms, naturopathy focuses on addressing the root cause and supporting your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

The core principles of Naturopathic Medicine are:

  • Support the body’s innate healing ability - harnessing the natural power of your body to restore balance.

  • Treat the whole person - addressing the physical, mental, emotional, environmental, and spiritual aspects of health.

  • Promote optimal health and prevent disease - focusing on causes, not just symptoms.

  • Educate and empower patients - the practitioner acts as a teacher, helping you actively participate in your health journey.

  • Prevention is better than cure - prioritising long-term wellness over short-term fixes.

  • First, do no harm - safe, gentle, and personalised approaches to support your health.

Naturopathy isn’t just a treatment - it’s a way of supporting your body to thrive, not just survive.

Functional Pathology Testing

Functional pathology tests are designed to investigate your functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic, and hormonal health.

These tests provide a bridge between conventional and holistic approaches, helping practitioners to diagnose, treat, and manage your health in a personalised and comprehensive way. By identifying imbalances early, functional pathology supports long-term wellness rather than just addressing symptoms.

 

Food Sensitivity Testing (IgG Response)

Food sensitivities can cause considerable discomfort and impact your overall wellbeing. Unlike allergies, which trigger an immediate reaction, food sensitivities occur when your body reacts to certain foods as if they were toxins, even when those foods are normally considered healthy.

Symptoms vary widely - everyone responds differently to different foods - and many people live with minor or major discomfort for years without ever suspecting that their diet or immune system is the cause.

Testing for IgG responses helps identify the foods that may be triggering inflammation or other adverse reactions. Once these sensitivities are detected, targeted dietary changes and gut repair strategies can be implemented to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and restore balance.

Many clients report improved weight management, increased energy, and a better overall quality of life after addressing food sensitivities and repairing the gut. This testing provides the insight you need to make informed, personalised choices for your health.

Modalities Used

Nutritional Medicine
Diet is at the foundation of Naturopathy. Using food as therapy is one of the most powerful tools for supporting health, especially in a world facing an epidemic of nutrition-related diseases. The old saying, “you are what you eat”, has never been more relevant.

Herbal Medicine
Plants have been used as medicine for thousands of years. Naturopathic practitioners are trained not only in the historical uses of herbs, but also in their modern pharmacological mechanisms, allowing them to safely and effectively support your health.

Nutritional Supplements
Supplements are a fast, effective way to support nutrient levels and optimise health. Modern lifestyles and environmental factors often leave us depleted in key vitamins and minerals. Taking the right supplements, in the right form and dosage, can quickly restore balance - and a personalised prescription ensures it’s safe and effective.

Health Coaching
Counselling and lifestyle guidance are an integral part of Naturopathic care. Understanding your stressors and implementing strategies to manage them is vital for overall well being. Factors like sleep, stress management, exercise, mindset, breathing techniques, and time management all impact health, and can be addressed in a personalised naturopathic strategy.

Having a guide makes all the difference. Simone can coach you to overcome blocks, stay accountable, and achieve the health goals you’ve been striving for, turning knowledge into real, lasting results.

Practitioner-Only Supplements

 

When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Unfortunately, the supplement market is flooded with cheap, low-quality products that often contain forms of nutrients our bodies cannot absorb effectively, and in doses too small to have any real therapeutic benefit.

As a qualified Naturopath, Simone is trained to prescribe therapeutic-grade, evidence-based Nutritional Medicine. Through her practice, you gain access to practitioner-only supplements - high-quality products that are only available with a prescription from a qualified Naturopath or healthcare professional.

Commonly prescribed brands include Metagenics, BioCeuticals, White Label Orthoplex, MediHerb, Biomedica, Research Nutrition, Nutrition Care, and many more - all selected for their purity, potency, and effectiveness.

For your convenience, all supplements can be ordered online and delivered straight to your door via Vital.ly, making it easier than ever to support your health with the right nutrients.
