Sophrosyne Naturopathy

Meet Kelly

Kelly is a graduate of the Southern School of Natural Therapies in Melbourne, completing a four year Bachelor degree in Health Science - Naturopathy. She is a full practicing member of the Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia (N.H.A.A.).

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a distinct and complete system of health care. Six foundational principles form the basis of the practice of naturopathy:

• ​The healing power of nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): The human body is smart. Given the right environment, circumstances and nutrients - it has the ability to heal itself.


• First do no harm: patient wellbeing always comes first


• Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms (Tolle Causum): in order to truely heal, the cause must be addressed


• Treat the whole person: a patient is not their disease or symptom - they are a unique, complex being and they should be treated as an individual.


• Education: Lasting change and empowerment is achieved through education.


• Prevention: It is much better to prevent disease and illness than to cure it.

These six principles are kept in mind when a naturopath takes your case, develops a treatment plan and offers education and maintenance for long-term health goals and disease prevention.

Naturopathy is well suited to anyone at any age.

Naturopaths use various modalities in their practice. These may include:

• Herbal medicine


• Nutritional medicine


• Homeopathy


• Dietary and lifestyle advice


• Flower Essences

Naturopaths often work alongside your GP and other health professionals to offer you the best patient-centred, integrative treatment.

Our Dispensary...

HERBS

We stock only the highest quality herbal medicine liquid extracts - brands such as MediHerb, Optimal Rx, PPC and Herbal Extract Company - which are all Australian Companies with strict production standards. 

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

At Sophrosyne Naturopathy, we believe using fresh food is the best medicine, therefore we will use nutritional supplements as a short-term solution: for example - your current diet is not providing you with all the vitamins and minerals it requires for optimal well-being, or there is a particular nutritional deficiency that needs correcting.  

Long-term solutions will be focused education, dietary changes and utilising the power of smart, mindful eating combined with delicious, nutritious whole-food.

FLOWER ESSENCES

Energetic therapies, such as flower essences, use gentle vibrational healing or a 'resonance' to gently shift our own energetic vibrations to heal at an emotional and spiritual level.

At Sophrosyne, we use Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE) to create a mixture of flower essences that resonate with you and your particular emotional and physical needs.
