Why See A Naturopath? Western medicine's focus is often on treating the symptoms of a particular illness. In contrast, naturopaths seek to discover why you are susceptible to the condition in the first place and aim to rectify this. Naturopaths view disease and illness as a response to an unhealthy, stressful or unsatisfactory lifestyle. By addressing the factors causing the illness, you can overcome the symptoms of the illness while at the same time eliminating the true cause of the problem. This is where you will experience true and long lasting changes in your health.
It is for these reasons that more and more people are turning to naturopaths for their health needs and taking a natural approach to their well being. This, in turn, will lead to a society of healthy and vibrant people enjoying quality of life.
What People are Saying..... It’s been almost a year since I began to see Emma and my improvement has been amazing! Emma is not only compassionate but thorough in her over all diagnosis. I saw Emma regarding my polycystic ovaries and had no idea about the recent treatments or whether there were any available. I can confidently say that Emma had a lot to do with setting me on the road to recovery offering guidance and prescribing me with the perfect herbs. Tania Doria
I initially consulted Emma to get some support with menopausal symptoms. With what she prescribed for me, herbs and nutritional supplements, it was nothing short of miraculous. My hot flushes ceased within a week and I could sleep through the night again. I feel great and in control of my own health again. Dianne Butler
I am a 41 year old reasonably fit, single mum with a very demanding job. I came to see Emma in complete desperation last year. I had a recurring glandular virus, was completely run down, could not lose that last 5 kilos, and was feeling frazzled. Three months down the track I have lost the excess 5 kilos, plus another 2, am positively jumping out of my skin, and feeling very happy and healthy. Emma spent the time finding out about not just my health, but my well-being. She mixed up a magic tonic for me (I believe it is truly magic), gave me understandable information, and has managed to educate me about what I put into my body. What Emma recommended was nothing extreme, but the subtle changes I have made to my lifestyle have made an enormous difference. Vanessa Priest
I've always considered myself to be relatively healthy but decided to visit Emma after a long period of feeling run-down and suffering influenza symptoms. After only two visits with Emma, I felt a world of difference... her assistance improved my energy levels leaps and bounds and gave me a general feeling of well-being. I feel like Emma really listens to my concerns and gets to the root of the problem. Simone Stopford
I recommend Emma's services to anyone who is interested in making positive changes to their health and outlook on life. I have found the herbs, vitamins and diet advice very useful. What I especially liked was the way she carefully researched my behaviours, likes, dislikes and lifestyle before recommending pragmatic steps to improve the things I wanted to work on. Mark Runnalls
I first saw Emma in November 2005 – I was lethargic, irritable, had a serious skin disorder around my eyes and basically rundown. Her first course of treatment was a herbal tonic: taken a couple of times a day. This tonic and support from Emma turned my life around. Within 2 months I was back to my old energy levels – gym/cycling 5 times a week and feeling fabulous. My husband was the first one to comment on my new found energy! Continuing the treatment also cleared up my skin condition around my eyes and I noticed a change in my complexion too. If anyone around me talks of physical complaints my first word to them is “Emma”. Thank you very much for your help. Kathy Morris
I first went to see Emma after having extensive endometriosis surgery. I was genuinely unwell, unhealthy and still in pain with endometriosis. Emma has worked with me in a supportive and patient manner to help build general good health and well-being by providing thorough consultation's which include such as discussions about lifestyle, diet, relationships and work environment. Emma develops a natural herbal tonic and vitamin supplements to help control the endometriosis pain and my general healthy well being. Michelle Thrift
At the age of 33 I was told by my doctor that if I didn't change my lifestyle I would develop diabetes before my 35th birthday. My blood pressure and pulse rate were dangerously high, I had frequent heart palpitations, my triglycerides were worrying and my cholesterol needed attention. I struggled for 12 months, trying to eat less and exercise more, but I had no energy. It had been years since I'd slept for a whole night, and by mid afternoon I could hardly stay awake. My sister recommended I go see Emma who could help me before it was too late. Within two weeks of starting Emma's program of supplements, diet and exercise I got 8 hours of continuous sleep and am still sleeping well. I developed energy enough to be productive in the afternoons and to exercise. Eating well made me realise how sluggishly my body had been working. My mood improved and I didn't realise I'd been down for so long! And interestingly, I didn't experience work stress as strongly as I used to. Within three months of starting Emma's program I was due for my annual physical. My GP was absolutely astonished that my blood pressure was normal, and my triglycerides and cholesterol were nearly normal. Emma has provided me with so much help and support, and while I have a way to go, I know I can beat this diagnosis. While my GP could tell me what I needed to do, she couldn't tell me how I could do it in real life. Emma could, and I'm eternally grateful.Sophie Holloway
