Estera Taylor Naturopath

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a philosophy of wellness. A naturopath works on the basis that your body, thoughts and emotions are closely related, and anything which affects one part of your well being will also affect other parts of the individual.

A naturopath works on the philosophy that your body knows how to heal itself, so treatment aims are to support the body in its healing process. The naturopath’s role is to help you understand why your body gets sick and to educate you in maintaining your health and well being.

To perform at its best your body requires the best possible diet and nourishment. Practical and resourceful dietary suggestions may be provided to nourish and restore your body to absorb the nutrients it needs to achieve optimum health.

A comprehensive range of dietary programs and nutritional supplements are available.

Supplements prescribed and administered by a naturopath are of the highest quality and standard and are ‘practitioner strength’ sold only to Healthcare practitioners for a prescription.

What You Can Expect At Your Naturopathic Consultation

The initial consultation will take 75 minutes and consists of a comprehensive case history. This includes an in-depth look at past and present health and medical issues as well as your current diet, stress and lifestyle habits.

Please bring any medications (natural or prescription as well as over the counter) that you are currently taking in addition to any recent medical tests.

Diagnostic procedures may include blood pressure and pulse checks, zinc level test, urinalysis, tongue and nail analysis and Iridology is carried out where appropriate. Further pathology testing may be recommended.

A personalised treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs incorporating dietary, nutritional and lifestyle modifications. Natural remedies such as herbs, supplements, homeopathics, flower essences or essential oils may be recommended to facilitate this process. The client’s preferences and budget is taken into consideration throughout.

All information disclosed is kept strictly confidential and we work together to prioritise your needs and set achievable goals. Client education and support is an integral part of the treatment and allows the client to take greater responsibility for their future health.

Follow-up visits at agreed intervals allow assessment of progress and adjustment of the treatment plan as required. (Allow 50 mins. for subsequent visits.)

Iridology / Iris Analysis
