The Naturopathic Philosophy:
Naturopathy is guided by a set of core principles that honor the body’s natural ability to heal. Rather than just treating symptoms, we focus on the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
Our goal is to identify and address the root cause of illness, using gentle, evidence-informed therapies to support the body’s return to balance and long-term vitality.
Prevention is at the heart of naturopathic care. We aim to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health and wellbeing.
Collaboration is also important to us, and we love to work alongside other healthcare providers to ensure you receive truly comprehensive, holistic support.
Functional Testing Options:
I often recommend functional testing to gain a clearer understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface. This is considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on individual needs
Functional tests help identify imbalances and deficiencies, with a focus on how well the body’s systems are functioning, rather than diagnosing disease. These tests provide insights into areas such as gut microbiome health, hormonal fluctuations, nutrient levels, inflammation markers, and detoxification pathways. Please note that these tests incur an additional cost
Commonly used tests include:
Organic Acids Test (OAT) – Provides insight into metabolic function, nutrient deficiencies, gut health & more.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) – Assesses mineral levels and heavy metal exposure over time, as well as thyroid function, nervous system and adrenal function.
DUTCH Hormone Test – Offers a comprehensive overview of sex and adrenal hormone levels and their metabolites.
Comprehensive DNA Report – Identifies genetic variants that may impact nutrition, detoxification, and overall health.
Microbiome Mapping (Stool Analysis) – Evaluates gut microbiota balance, pathogens, and digestive function.
Cortisol Testing – Measures adrenal function and stress response throughout the day.
