A multidisciplinary approach to holistic health

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a complementary form of medicine that acknowledges and supports the body’s own healing abilities.

Naturopaths aim to treat the whole person individually and educate and empower you to take responsibility for your own health.

The emphasis is on using evidence-based and traditional natural substances such as food, herbs and nutritional supplements to create balance, promote wellness and prevent chronic dis-eases.

Naturopathic Principles

Naturopathy is guided by six foundational principles;

Early Detection & Prevention Of Health Issues

Naturopathy has a strong focus on the prevention of health issues and the early detection of a person’s likelihood of developing a health disorder (predisposition). Naturopathy is also very effective at treating acute and chronic health issues.

Naturopathy aims to;

Minimise symptoms

Support the body’s vital force (its capacity to self-heal)

Re-balance the system so that illness is less likely to occur in the future

Educate the patient to look after their own health and the health of their family

What Can Naturopathy Help With?

The range of disorders commonly treated by naturopaths includes

Allergies and sensitivities

Behavioural problems

Cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) problems

High blood pressure

Fatigue and Chronic fatigue syndrome

Digestive complaints

Endocrine disturbance

Fertility problems

Hormonal imbalances, such as premenstrual tension and menopause

Mood disorders and depression

What To Expect

Initial Assessment

A well-trained naturopath will want to know about your diet, lifestyle, family background and environment, as well as the history of your illness or complaint. This information is important so that the naturopath can discover the cause of the illness. You are treated as a whole person.

As well as taking a detailed health history, the naturopath may use other diagnostic techniques, such as:

Blood Analysis

Functional Testing

Hair Analysis

Iridology

Kinesiology

Stool & Urnine Analysis

Treatment

A naturopath employs a range of non-invasive techniques and these include
(but are not limited to):

Nutrition and dietary advice – one of naturopathy’s foundations. A poor diet stops the body from functioning well, and a build-up of toxins can lead to a range of illnesses. Whole, fresh and unprocessed foods are recommended.

Herbal medicine – herbs are as potent as pharmaceutical drugs and can be used to great effect.

Homœopathy – homœopathic treatments are used to stimulate the immune system.

Physical therapies – such as massage, Bowen, acupressure, bio-puncture or mechanotherapy.

Kinesiology and integrated bio-dynamics (IBD).

Counselling techniques – emotional problems and stress can interfere with the healing process. Counselling techniques can include stress management strategies and life coaching.

Adv. Dip. Health Science (Naturopathy) Reiki Practitioner Remedial Therapist Cert IV Holistic Counselling/Mind Body Medicine

Naomi Rogan brings over 30 years of experience in the Australian healthcare industry, with 22 years of expertise as a Clinical Naturopath. She is an accomplished Naturopath and a proud mother of 3 children, 2 chickens, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. In her leisure time, Naomi enjoys bushwalking, visiting the beach, walking her dogs, and spending quality time with her family.

Naomi has worked in several busy practices across metropolitan and rural WA areas, collaborating with allied health professionals and medical practitioners. She is the director of two thriving integrated clinics in WA, working closely with her team in a collaborative healthcare approach.

Naomi is deeply passionate about naturopathy as she has personally experienced the difficulties of suffering from chronic health conditions. As a child, she struggled with eczema and had to rely on steroids to manage it. As she grew older, Naomi developed autoimmune disorders such as alopecia, psoriasis, and anemia. Her journey in understanding and managing these conditions led her to explore alternative treatments that could address the root cause of her health issues. Through this journey of self-healing, Naomi gained valuable insights and knowledge that she now uses to help, heal, and educate her patients.

Naomi works closely with her patients, using empathy and evidence-based approaches to wellness and incorporating the latest technology in testing and quality natural medicines.

Naomi collaborates with other healthcare professionals in both clinics and conducts thorough testing when necessary to obtain a comprehensive understanding of her patient’s current health. This enables her to create personalised treatment management plans for each patient, which can help alleviate symptoms and address the underlying disease patterns, ultimately restoring their health and vitality.

Naomi is highly skilled in managing complex cases and supporting individuals who struggle with multiple health conditions, numerous medications, and a long list of symptoms. She excels in breaking down and systematically addressing an individual’s health concerns, empowering them to take control of their health, and understanding and treating the underlying causes. Her strength lies in guiding individuals towards effective management of their health issues.

Amber Carter

Naturopath
BHSc (NAT)

Amber is a Qualified Naturopath, Holistic practitioner, and Reiki Healer. Her passion lies in uncovering the root cause of her client’s health concerns and working with them to create a long-term achievable plan to empower them to take charge of their health and well-being.

Like most of her clients she has been through her own personal journey of health and healing, including hormone imbalances, gut & skin issues, migraines, fatigue, insomnia, and mental health struggles. But, through naturopathy and various other complementary medicines she discovered long lasting solutions to her health issues and a renewed sense of well-being.

This, alongside the natural and wholesome teachings and knowledge passed on from my parents and gained from a childhood of fresh air and freedom, inspired me to become a naturopath.

Amber wanted to help others understand how they can utilize the power of nature to support their body’s innate ability to heal itself, through simple and consistent changes in their diet, lifestyle and thought patterns. Her aim is to support and guide her clients to take control of their own health and optimise their wellbeing.

Amber’s biggest passion lies in hormonal health, stress management and sexual education. She also specialises in gut health, skin conditions, immune support, stress and fatigue, female health, fertility, and mental and emotional health.

Amber’s approach focuses on the fundamentals: nutrition, movement, hydration, stress management techniques, sleep, social connections, and environment. Where additional support is needed, she may also incorporate the use of nutraceuticals and/or herbal tinctures. Each of her clients has an in-depth consult and receives a personalised treatment plan backed by extensive research. Because the health of her clients is what matters the most, she dedicates extra time before and after each consult to ensure the best solutions for their individual needs. Her support and dedication does not end when the consult ends.
