My intention is to design an easy to follow, step by step program that is designed specifically for you and your unique health concerns. The protocols have been created from both clinical experience and up to date scientific evidence based research. The consultation involves assessing medical history, symptoms, diet, and state of mind. The initial consultation usually takes an hour and may lead to further investigation.
Health protocols at Revive Health include the body, the mind and the person, and during the course of the treatment, I may address one or all of these to allow you to achieve balance and good health.
I believe there are four major methods to help achieve lasting health and wellness:
1. Addressing the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms
2. Food as medicine, to suit your needs, not following diets
3. Educating patients about their health and how to care for themselves
4. Develop strategies to maintain high levels of wellness
Why see a Naturopath?
Anyone who is concerned with their health, for acute or chronic illness, or just to trying to improve general wellbeing can benefit from naturopathy. Because we look at the whole person and then treat holistically, we can achieve success in helping long term underlying issues as well as addressing the presenting symptoms.
The foundation of Naturopathy is the philosophy of the “healing power of nature”. This means that with the help of naturopathic treatment, the body can repair itself and recover from illness, if it is in a healthy and supported environment.
Naturopathy is a practice of preventing, assessing and treating conditions of the human mind and body. By integrating conventional health sciences with a range of natural therapies and traditional medicines, naturopathy treats the patient’s mental, emotional and physical states for a lasting effect.
A Naturopath aims to educate, empower and motivate the patient to assume more personal responsibility for his or her health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle and diet. They do not simply treat the manifestation of a disease and its effects but rather search for the cause and treat it, rather than the effect. Prevention of disease is accomplished through naturopathic education which builds a lifestyle that supports health and wellbeing.
