Can Alternative Medicine Be The Answer?
Are you struggling to find the answer to your illness with conventional medicine and therapy?
Wanting to improve your current health and prevent future complications? A Naturopath is your answer!
Naturopaths view a holistic approach to health, and are about working with your body to discover its own natural, self-healing ability!
Here are some reasons why you should start seeing a Naturopath
1️⃣ Treats Most Health Conditions
Naturopaths can help to detect and treat many common health conditions that are prevalent today!
These include digestive issues, cardiovascular health, hormonal imbalance, menopause, fertility, immunity, stress, sleep disorders, skin conditions, allergies, migraines and arthritis, to name a few!
2️⃣ Focus on Non-Invasive Natural Treatment
The suggested treatments are all-natural, safe, and personalised to your needs! (Free from those nasty chemicals and dru*s).
Treatments can include lifestyle, nutritional changes, and herbal supplements to strengthen the body!
3️⃣ Personalised Treatment
Naturopathy believes in a no one-size-fits-all approach!
Your Naturopath will fully investigate your concerns to tailor a treatment plan according to your goals and lifestyle.
So you can walk out feeling empowered and know you are treating your body to the help it needs!
4️⃣ Disease Prevention
It’s important to visit an Naturopath, as they can help you identify any future problems!
Your Naturopath works to pinpoint the underlying cause of a condition – by fixing the issue from the root cause, not the surface symptoms.
Preventing a disease is fortunately much easier than treating it. That’s why working with your Naturopath to understand your genetic, lifestyle, environmental factors that could affect your health is so important!

Melanie is at our Mt Pleasant location from 9:30AM to 2PM EVERY Saturday!

6 Perks of Having Good Posture
“When you were younger, did your mother ever nag you for slouching and tell you to “Sit up straight!”
Yes most of us have experienced this!
Well, she sure was right…
She was setting you up for great posture But not all of us listened (oops). Here’s how good posture can help you:
Better Breathing
When you slouch, it affects your ability to breathe deeply as it shortens the front of your body
Pain Prevention
When you have good posture, the muscles do what they are designed to do – to support your spine Slouching puts unnecessary stress on muscles leading to pain in the neck, shoulders, and back
Better Digestion and Circulation
Slouching leads to compression on your stomach, intestines, and liver – interrupting the flow of digestive juices! This can lead to issues like constipation, and GERD (which are not fun! )
Self-Confidence
Good posture gives off the impression to others that you are confident! Whereas, slouching often communicates a lack of self-esteem. We all wanna rock on with confidence, right?
Energy Efficiency
Your muscles work harder when you slouch – because they’re in an unnatural position! Don’t waste your energy – start standing tall and strong!
So, by now you should be convinced that a proper posture not only looks attractive – but affects other areas of health too!
Do you struggle with maintaining a proper posture? Or do you have pain associated with poor posture?
