Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a science and an art. It is a complete system of health care, working with the tools that nature has provided to enable people to obtain optimal health. Naturopaths work holistically. Every body system is interconnected, so the principal of Naturopathy is to treat the body as a whole, rather than breaking down systems and just treating that particular system.

Andrea’s Approach & Values

There are a lot of Brisbane Naturopaths but you need to find one with experience. Years of clinical experience in Brisbane have taught Andrea that there is no “one approach” to any health condition. As everyone is an individual, everyone’s health will be treated individually. With Andrea’s services and experience she will delve deeply into your health history in order to ascertain the origins of your health issues.

As a client, you would be directly involved in the treatment process. Andrea deeply values her client’s input when prioritising natural health treatments.

Symptomatic relief is a big part of Naturopathy and one that is dealt with from the initial consultation, together with investigating and determining the cause.  By involving you every step of the way, you will walk away from the appointment with a greater understanding of your health. Andrea will go in depth to help discover the root cause of your issues.

Andrea focuses on food as Nature intended – whole nutritious food for health results. Whether it is weight loss nutrition or nutrition that is relevant for your specific health condition, Andrea will guide you. Once your health is back on track, food is one way to continue to remain healthy and vibrant, way into the future.

It is also important to consider other lifestyle aspects such as sleep, stress, exercise and mental health. Life coaching is an integral part of all treatment plans.

Andrea will treat every client that walks in her door as an individual. She will consider you as a whole person, not just as your health condition, and address your physical, mental and emotional needs.

Get In Touch

“I had been battling diverticulitis for 10 years and after 3 hospital admissions and on IV antibiotics each time, I decided to take a more natural path to wellness again. Andrea has lead me through an understanding of how certain food intolerances, pharmaceuticals and chemicals affected my immune system to the point where I kept relapsing back into ill health. I’m so grateful for Andrea’s counsel, encouragement and expertise in nutrition, natural meds and for her sincere care to journey with me to greater health and well being.”

Meralda, age 67

“I found Andrea to be a compassionate, dedicated, empathic and understanding person. Her caring nature coupled with her outstanding wealth of knowledge and expertise in both nutrition and naturopathy helped me extensively to overcome my continuous and ongoing digestive issues along with my long-standing anxiety. I am very thankful for the referral to see Andrea, as I believe without her, I would still be suffering from a supreme lack of energy, frequent panic attacks and a constant feeling of being generally unwell.”

How to find the best Naturopath Brisbane has to offer

Finding a Naturopath in Brisbane can often be daunting. People sometimes google Good Naturopath Brisbane or Best Naturopath in Brisbane or Brisbane Naturopaths, but how do you know that you are getting the best? Obviously there won’t be one Naturopath who is better than everybody, but there are certain things to look out for that can be an indicator as to how well your Brisbane Naturopath will work with you.

Reviews are a fantastic way of gauging how well a Naturopath works with clients and how successful they are in resolving health issues with natural health techniques. There is often a theme running through reviews that sends a strong message about the type of Naturopath they are.

Also consider looking for someone who writes health articles. This shows a passion for health that goes way beyond sitting in front of a client.

Experience and years of practise is also a good indicator of someone who has made a success of being a Brisbane Natural Health Practitioner with a wealth of knowledge.

Find someone who takes the time to listen and chat with you before an initial appointment to make sure you are a good fit. A big part of finding the right Naturopath in Brisbane for you is to talk with them first. Just by chatting, you will learn a lot about how they practise and how they can help you.

Another important thing to look for is someone who will listen to you and treat you as an individual. There is no “one size fits all” in Natural Medicine.

Finding a practitioner with years of health experience who works from a Brisbane Naturopath and Wellness Centre is always a great option so clients can be referred onto other modalities. My clinic offers other modalities such as Acupuncture, Massage, Psychology, Counselling, Hypnotherapy, Chiropractic and more. Finding an holistic Doctor Brisbane area is also of benefit. I work closely with a number of holistic Doctors. 

Whether you are looking for a Naturopath North Brisbane, a Nutritionist Brisbane North or a Herbalist, I service all areas and cover all modalities.

For any questions about general of specific health issues or health conditions book an appointment at Southern Health and Wellbeing today.
