As a Naturopath, I work with people to improve their health by evaluating root causes behind symptoms together with lifestyle and environmental factors such as diet, exercise, stress levels, sleep, detoxification and psycho-emotional aspects.
My approach: what can I help you with?
Some common areas of health I work with include:
- Energy issues, fatigue and poor sleep
- Detoxification optimisation
- Digestive & metabolic health
- Stress management & mental wellness
- Women’s hormones and thyroid health

What exactly is Naturopathy?
If there is one thing that we all share, it’s the desire to be in good physical, mental and emotional health throughout the course of life. Sometimes though, health issues can get in the way and take life in another direction.
While modern medicine is essential in acute situations when a disease has already presented itself, there are often opportunities to intervene well before this point. The aim of Naturopathy then is not to substitute modern medicine, but instead to focus on prevention by improving health status so that the future risk of developing disease is reduced and the current quality of life is improved. This is achieved with an in-depth evaluation of lifestyle, environmental and constitutional factors and a focus on educating the client around general health principles like food quality, stress management, circadian rhythms, physical activity and reduced exposure to toxicants such as cigarette smoke, industry chemicals and certain personal care & cleaning products. Another important aspect is our inner world: our thoughts, emotions and beliefs also have an important impact on our health and our relationships, so any outer changes in the way we live go hand in hand with a process of self awareness and personal growth.

Naturopathy & other health professions
There are many professions that deal with health and disease, and it can be confusing to know which one to go to – so how do you decide? In this article I’ll outline the benefits of each and where I believe Naturopathy fits in.
The Naturopath’s role
The Naturopathic profession differs in different parts of the world. In some states in America and Canada, Naturopathic Doctors are medical doctors who can diagnose disease and prescribe medications whereas Naturopaths lacking medical qualifications cannot, which is the case in most of the rest of the world. In Germany the heilpraktiker is able to work with certain diseases and is part of the healthcare system. In Italy, Naturopaths are not part of the healthcare system unless they possess concurrent medical qualifications. They have the following role:
Naturopaths help people improve their health and wellbeing by:
- suggesting how to improve a person’s lifestyle
- educating around healthy principles
- working to increase awareness of certain underlying factors & beliefs
- transforming these factors into opportunities for personal growth
- helping recognise & make use of innate talents and skills in order to reach their full potential
- help people make sense of the things that happen to them.
Naturopaths cannot:
- diagnose, treat or cure disease
- run labwork or psychological testing
- prescribe medications, diets or therapies
- diagnose or treat psychological illnesses
So Naturopaths do not diagnose or treat disease with prescribed therapies: this role is reserved for Medical Doctors and when dealing with acute, life-threatening situations and overt disease processes, people should of course always seek out appropriate medical care.
But diseases don’t just appear from nowhere. Long before people get a diagnosis from their Doctor, their health has often already been deteriorating for many years.
