What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy, also known as naturopathic medicine, is a form of alternative medicine that emphasises the body's ability to heal itself through natural therapies and lifestyle modifications.
As naturopaths, our mission is to work collaboratively with our clients, delving deep to uncover the root cause of health issues and crafting personalised treatment plans that support the body's innate healing abilities. We blend ancient healing traditions with modern scientific knowledge to address a wide spectrum of health concerns, spanning from chronic conditions to overall wellness.
In Australia, naturopathy is recognised as a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and is held to rigorous standards by professional associations like the NHAA (National Herbalists Association of Australia). These regulations ensure that practitioners meet stringent criteria in education, training, and ethical practice, safeguarding the quality of care delivered to clients.
The journey to becoming a BHSc qualified naturopath involves comprehensive training in a range of modalities including herbal medicine, nutrition, dietary counseling, and lifestyle modifications. Additionally, we have the opportunity to explore elective subjects in complementary areas such as iridology, flower essences, and homeopathy, further enriching our skill set and knowledge base.
Naturopathy is an attractive option for individuals who have faced challenges or dissatisfaction with conventional medical treatments, particularly in managing their chronic health conditions. These individuals seek a more natural, personalised, and comprehensive approach to their healthcare.
