How can naturopathy help me?
Naturopathy is a form of health care that is deeply focused on finding the cause of your symptoms. Rather than masking symptoms, I aim to bring you back to health from the inside out. Educating patients is also at the forefront, so you are empowered to reclaim your health. Your individual health needs are assessed in a naturopathic consultation and no two treatments are the same as every person is unique in their needs and abilities in life and wellness.
Naturopathic medicine draws on traditional knowledge, along with new evidence-based techniques to address how our modern diet, chemicals, technology and our busy lifestyles are negatively impacting our health,
In a naturopathic consultation, Tess is able to take the time to listen so you are truly heard and your needs can be met. While you may feel you have a million things going on in your body, naturopathy helps put the pieces of your health puzzle together. With proper clinical case taking, and testing where needed, the cause of your array of symptoms can be found. Nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle advice is then used to bring you back to health.
Tess’ consultations are available via in- person in Margaret River, WA or Zoom so you can stay in the comfort of your home, and is available to see patients worldwide.
