We’ve all heard these words. A healthy lifestyle through nutrition, exercise and a sound mental state is now seen as the best way to prevent disease. Poor health can lead to reduced immunity, increased susceptibility to disease, impaired physical and mental development, and reduced vitality. This is the premise for naturopathy. Our bodies are all different. Naturopathy looks at the way YOUR body works and your lifestyle to find optimal choices to make it easy for you to be and stay healthy.
What is naturopathy?
The human body processes an inherent ‘self-healing’ ability, when the foundations – a healthy diet, clean fresh water, sunlight, adequate sleep, exercise and stress management – are optimised. Naturopathy is considered holistic, looking at the whole system as a connected unit. Each bodily function impacts and affects the function of another. Our role is to reveal the root causes to health problems and identify signs of dysfunction then uncover the best way to support your body to provide the right environment for healing.
Naturopathy is non-invasive and aims to do your body no harm. Its main objective is to stimulate and restore your body’s own natural healing powers. A naturopath for example will consider factors such as hormonal imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, nutrient deficiencies, ph levels, absorption factors, metabolism, inflammatory markers, neurotransmitter balance and cell health.
How does naturopathy work?
Naturopathy puts you and the way your body works at the centre. We pay particular attention to any symptoms as this is your body’s natural healing mechanism trying to heal and become healthy. A thorough initial assessment begins your health journey. This involves putting the facts together specific to your case. The information gathering phase will include a comprehensive health questionnaire, your everyday normal eating style and diet, lifestyle factors, family history, as well as your history of any illnesses, accidents or complaints.
After your assessment, an individual plan will be drawn up and discussed in detail with you. Your plan may include several techniques or modalities together including diet, nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and lifestyle recommendations. Telehealth and in house consultations are available with access to online patient ordering systems. This means your products will be delivered directly to your door, hassle free.
What can naturopathy be used for?
Our naturopathic remedies are individually assessed, and can help you in a wide variety of health concerns such as :-
Functional Pathology Tests are available
These are some of the more common tests however there are many more that may be used if required and deemed helpful.
Kaybe helped transform my diet. I had no idea my current health problems could be improved so much through diet alone.
I went to Kaybe during a period of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Within 3 days of following her treatments plan my mood and panic had subsided dramatically.
Kaybe has taught me how to work with my health condition. My pain levels have certainly decreased.
Every year I suffered from hay fever. That was before I met Kaybe.
Thanks to Kaybe my daughters’ hormones have regulated and our home is much more peaceful.
I was a headache-migraine suffer for years. Kaybe released my neck tension that was contributing, and taught me the trigger foods to avoid. This has made a massive difference. Through specific vitamins I know how to prevent the onset of an episode if I feel it coming.
Kaybe has assisted me to change my life for the better. I was diagnosed eight years ago with Hashimoto’s which is an autoimmune condition. I have also struggled with sleep disturbance, low mood, low energy levels and anxiety.
I have seen a number of different health modalities over the years including GP’s, an endocrinologist and acupuncturists and have noticed some improvement, however this has been limited.
Kaybe looks in detail at pathology results and is able to interpret these in relation to my symptoms. She has assisted me to empower myself to want to take responsibility for my health. She shows empathy and understanding and assists with what is important for me. This has put me on a path of recovery which I am learning to maintain for myself.
Kaybe actually listens and hears me and for the first time in many years I have felt heard. I now also feel a sense of hope that I can heal and again have my life back.
Kaybe’s holistic approach, along with her intuition, has helped me to feel optimistic for my future. I feel confident that with Kaybe’s support and guidance, I will have the best options to achieve the best health outcome.
I suffered from restless legs at night for some months. This reduced the length and quality of my sleep which in turn exacerbated the restless legs condition – a vicious cycle. Despite seeking medical and naturopathic advice nothing solved the issue completely. However Kaybe McMullen was able to provide treatment that quickly dealt with the condition which I have not suffered from since. I am very impressed.
I have had a real issue with snakes for most of my life – horrific fear to be exact.
Which over time developed into more a fascination, until this one day when I was told a true story about a pet snake.
The owner had noticed an unusual behavior in her python and was waking to found her snake lying on the bed next to her in the morning. On mentioning this to her vet, she was informed to get rid of the python as she was in danger.
Apparently it was sizing the owner up to be their prey.
This really hit a deep nerve in me and I squirmed with revolt and a sense of horrible betrayal picturing it.
Every time I pictured this image or repeated this story to someone I had the same severe reaction.
In one session Kaybe helped me to get through this and I no longer have the attachment to the vision.
I can picture this and I have no emotional reaction at all.
After having an NLP treatment I felt more in control of my thinking and no longer so vulnerable.
All I can say is “Thank you so much Kaybe”, life isn’t meant to be so hard, especially when it took only one session.
I spoke to Kaybe, my therapist, about my addiction to Monte Carlo biscuits. I am type 2 diabetic and was worried about this problem. Kaybe did a 20 minutes NLP session with me, and I have not had a Monte Carlo biscuit since. She is a Legend!
