    How does Naturopathic Pregnancy Care Work?

     I am like your clinical detective, I will draw upon my training (Bachelor in Health Science) and pull together information from your previous health history, current health issues, pathology test results and other sources to get to the root cause of why you’re unwell (yay, science!). But I also have a slightly woo-woo side – drawing upon my experience amongst healers in Brazil. So rest assured that I have all things covered. 

    Depending on your individual presentation I may utilise some of the following diagnostic assessment tools:

    Nutritional deficiency checks

    Hormonal balance tests

    Detailed dietary assessment

    Blood tests to assess your cellular health and tissue performance

    Genetic testing regarding metabolism of specific nutrients

    Diagnosed conditions such as autoimmune or thyroid conditions

    Signs and symptoms in any system you reveal in your consultation

    A detailed personal and family health history

    Environmental toxin load from work or home

    The information gathered during the investigation helps me put together a plan to improve your health with diet, lifestyle, herbs and nutrition, decreasing those annoying and nagging symptoms that are stopping you from reaching your full potential. So that you can enjoy life again.

    Your plan is delivered in a Treatment plan Consultation (which is delivered 1-2 weeks after you initial consultation). The plan will always include very detailed diet and lifestyle interventions (food as medicine), specific to you, which is also appropriately augmented with nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and sometimes lifestyle modifications.

    I may also recommend support from other practitioners or be in communication with other carers to ensure comprehensive care and optimum results. The aim is to ensure you have sufficient energy and nutritional status to live life the way you dream of.
