My naturopathic services

As a Naturopath I use a range of services to form your individual treatment plan:

  • Iridology

    There are no two irises exactly alike. In fact, each iris is even more individual than a fingerprint. Iridology is the study of the iris, pupil and sclera and their relationship to individual health dispositions. An iridology examination involves taking a high-resolution digital photo of the eye, which is then magnified and a careful interpretation may help guide you towards healthier lifestyle choices and therapeutic treatments. Your Iridology images and Constitutional Iridology Report are included with the consultation. Are you interested to know what your eye says about you?

  • food and nutrition

    The food we eat can have a great impact on our health. There is so much information out there it can easily become confusing. I believe in a dietary approach that is based around nutrient dense whole foods with plenty of vegetables, high quality proteins and healthy fats. Food and drink should provide the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy and make you feel great! Failure to obtain sufficient nutrients causes malnutrition. My nutritional approach looks at all aspects of ingestion, digestion, absorption, utilisation and excretion, as well as the environmental, psychological and behavioural aspects of food and eating. I offer personalised nutritional advice to benefit your health as part of an initial Naturopathy appointment.

  • Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation

    Vitamins and minerals are essential to helping your body develop and function as it should. Ideally, we would get all of what's required by eating a healthy whole foods diet, however there’s a whole host of modern day environmental and lifestyle issues including intensive farming methods, soil depletion, storage and processing, chemicals added to our foods, poor digestion, stress and unhealthy lifestyle habits that can affect the availability of nutrients. So, at times we need a little extra nutrient boost, and it may be necessary to consider adding supplements to your health regime. I can help guide you in choosing the supplements that suit you best

  • Detoxification

    If you feel tired, inflamed, suffer allergies, reproductive issues, or experience difficulty losing weight – these are all signs that your body may be struggling under an increased toxic load, or reduced cellular capacity to resist the damaging effect of toxins. Consequently, supporting healthy detoxification is a cornerstone of contemporary and traditional medicine practice and may be the turning point to getting your health back on track. I offer personalised detoxification programs for chemical and heavy metal exposure, parasite elimination, and general health reset.

  • herbal medicine

    Welcome to the most widely used and oldest system of medicine in the world – herbs! Also known as medical herbalism, botanical therapy, phyto therapy, all ways of taking the plant path for healing. The herbal part of a remedy may come from the leaf, flower, stem, seed, root, fruit or bark of the plant and it may be used to treat wounds and a range of other conditions. It is no coincidence that the majority of our current conventional pharmaceutical drugs have their biologically active compounds derived from plants. I prefer to work with the whole plant. Herbs can be topically applied, like creams, soaps and ointments, or vaporised, like oil inhalations and sprays, as well as taken orally, such as teas, tinctures, extracts, tablets, and capsules.

  • homoeopathy

    A gentle yet powerful natural medicine that works on the theory of ‘like cures like’. A curative Homeopathic medicine given at an optimal dose, which has been individually selected for a patient is prescribed with the intention of supporting the self-healing capacity of this person’s vital force. This is achieved by utilising the therapeutic vital force in nature’s bounty of medicines – chosen from plants, minerals and other natural sources. Each of the 8,000 plus Homeopathic medicines has a known therapeutic profile derived from prior ethical testing on humans, so selecting a suitable medicine is a process of matching the patient profile derived from case taking, to the most similar one of the known medicine profiles.

  • massage

    Combining the therapeutic benefit of remedial or lymphatic massage with all the indulgence of a spa experience, Bridget offers a range of massage as part of her Naturopathic approach. Remedial Massage includes assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management. A lymphatic massage helps get rid of toxins in our body by stimulating and unblocking the lymphatic system. If your lymphatic system isn’t working properly, toxin overload in your body can happen and may lead you to experience bloating, brain fog, constipation, digestive problems, swollen lymph nodes, excess weight, and skin problems, among others. If you are experiencing any of these, you may need a lymphatic drainage massage done by an expert. Pregnancy massage also available. Private health fund rebates may be available.

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

    Cut out the guesswork of your mineral requirements with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and find out exactly what minerals your body is lacking and as well as toxicities. HTMA provides nutrient and heavy metal assessment. InterClinical Laboratories use the latest and most sophisticated analytical equipment (ICP Mass spectrometer) to measure up to 38 minerals, including toxic heavy metals, precise to parts per million, with the highest level of accuracy and reproducibility in the industry. It is a safe and non-invasive test that is regarded by many integrative doctors, naturopaths, nutritional therapists and vets as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care. HTMA identifies individual nutritional needs and toxic element burdens not revealed in other standard pathology testing.

  • Food Compatibility testing

    A non-invasive test that checks your compatibility at a cellular level with 600 common foods and household products.

    Each individual has his/her own nutritional and energy requirements. Have you noticed that some foods give you good energy while others seem to drag you down and aggravate existing symptoms?

    This 6month WELLNESS PROGRAM follows the Naturopathic principle, “Feed the body correctly and allow the body to repair itself”. read more
