Getting to the Root Cause of Your Health Concerns
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health care that aims to discover the underlying cause of symptoms and ill health. The aim being to restore optimal health by addressing factors such as diet, lifestyle, nutrition, environment, genetics, emotional and mental influences.
Each client is seen as unique and needing a personalised approach, treatment plan and support. Nicole utilises a variety of tools including questionnaires, electro-dermal testing, Hair Analysis (HTMA), genetic testing, pathology testing and assessing diet and lifestyle. Using these tools helps Nicole to then assess imbalances, sensitivities and a suitable treatment plan incorporating herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, homoeopathics, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
Naturopathy sees the body as self healing, yet sometimes for various reasons the balance can be a little off, and this is where Nicole can help assess, support and educate you back towards optimal health.
How Naturopathic Support Works
A consultation for general health issues takes 3/4 hour for a first visit. Nicole uses electrodermal testing to assess you for any food sensitivities as well as nutrient deficiencies, toxicity and specific organ stresses in order to determine the best herbal, homoeopathic or nutritional supplements for your specific needs. Nicole will devise a plan including diet and or lifestyle modifications along with select remedies. The majority of clients would need between 2-6 visits to resolve general health issues, with chronic complaints often requiring longer, or more ongoing treatment. Often clients continue regular visits once they feel well, as a “wellness check”, to maintain good health and prevent future illness.
Initial consultations for fertility issues and preconception care are 3/4 hour, with follow up visits being around ½ hour. Nicole aims to gather information about your health to gain further insights into factors effecting your fertility, which is particularly important in cases of unexplained infertility. As well as the usual electrodermal testing, Nicole will also teach you to chart your menstrual cycles using mucus and temperature methods as well as the lunar cycles to enable you to be more in touch with your body, determine your most fertile time and identify certain hormonal imbalances. In follow up visits we re-assess any remedies as well as studying your charted cycles to determine the course of your treatment effectively.
Preconception care is undertaken by couples wanting to enhance their health prior to conception, to enhance the health of both partners (including their ova and sperm), increase fertility, enhance the babies health and improve health of the mother during the pregnancy and breastfeeding periods. Nicole has undertaken preconception healthcare and naturopathic pregnancy care with her 3 children who are 19, 15 and 10 years old.
More in Depth Support
Nicole has done further training in gut health and uses the GEMM approach. This focuses on restoring a healthy gut environment which helps the body to resist dysbiosis and infections, heal the cells in the gut lining and reduces inflammation.
A complementary support that Nicole offers is Emotion Release Technique. Emotion Release Technique (Formerly Naturopathic Emotional Release) is a tool used to identify and integrate underlying stress and emotional blocks. These underlying stressors/emotions can contribute to disharmony in the body leading to physical and mental symptoms, undesirable patterns or behaviours. Based on the research that chemical messengers in the brain are released during times of stress and can attach to receptors on the nerve cells and cells of tissues in the body, ERT can assess, lessen and clear these affects in your nervous system.
