I was first encouraged to explore the area of reproductive health after observing the frustration and lack of empathy experienced by many of my friends and family during my studies as a naturopath. “It’s normal to experience some sort of discomfort”, “there’s nothing we can do”, “learn to live with it” was advice they were all too often given. Well it’s not normal and there is plenty that we can do.

This seed grew and set in motion a passion for research into reproductive health; an area I discovered can make a massive difference in many people’s lives on so many levels. Often it is not just the physical manifestations of reproductive disorders that can affect a person – it can extend to relationship difficulties, emotional turmoil and mental anguish. Other systems may also be out of balance and these imbalances may also exacerbate reproductive problems. The beauty of naturopathy is that it focuses on getting the body to function as it should – rather than focusing on specific conditions. The fact is that no stage of a correctly functioning reproductive system need be difficult – from the onset of menstruation through to menopause and beyond.

Naturopathy is such a diverse modality that we really can customise treatments to suit everybody. From nutritional medicine and modern herbal medicine we can tailor a treatment for you. If you’re not too keen on these options we have a plethora of other tools at our disposal and can devise a specific treatment for you. Come in and see what we can do for you today.

And, for the record, although female reproductive health and fertility are my main interests – I can certainly help hubby out too!
