Does natural medicine really work?

In Eloise's experience, hormonal conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, PMS and functional infertility respond incredibly well to herbal medicine. The herbs Eloise recommends have been rigorously studied in Germany and China. Treatment leads to a more regular menstrual cycle, reduced pain and discomfort, reduced mood swings and increased fertility.

Eloise began her career as a Naturopath at the clinic of Ruth Trickey, Australia's leading Herbalist for women's health and was fortunate to have her as a mentor. This gave her an excellent grounding in women's health which she went on to cement in her own practice. Eloise was able to assist in the research for Ruth Trickey's well known book, Women, Hormones and the Menstrual Cycle, through translating studies published in German on medicinal herbs.

After becoming a mother she expanded into the area of children's health. Her personal experience lends so much to her understanding of her smallest patients and their parents and the practicalities of incorporating natural medicine and dietary change into their lives. Eloise believes that children deserve to be functioning at their peak, making the most of every moment. In her experience it takes very little to get them back on track and children seem to sense when a natural medicine is helping them and are usually very compliant in taking their natural medicines. Research done in Germany on the use of herbal medicine in children's illnesses has led to wide-spread acceptance by patients, General Practitioners and Paediatricians.

How can a Naturopath help?

As a Naturopath Eloise see herself in the role of facilitator. Her clients tend to hold a large body of information on natural health, good nutrition and positive lifestyle choices. As educated people they are often seeking clarification of their own nagging sense that they could be feeling healthier, more energetic, be contributing more and feeling more contentment in life. Eloise feels they are completely correct in sensing that life could be more fulfilling, more meaningful and more physically robust.

She will help you to identify your health goals, to identify the most achievable lifestyle and diet changes which will also have the most impact. Eloise can provide you with a specialized prescription of herbal and nutritional medicines which will help you reach your health goals. She will support you to reach the greater sense of health and well-being that you are striving to reach.

Eloise involves you in the development of your own and your children's treatment plan and sees you as the architect of your own health. She identifies small changes that are achievable and bring results.

Positive Psychology

Eloise is excited to share with you her experiences at the Positive Psychology Congress in Berlin, July 2014. She was fortunate to be present to hear the research of some great minds. Internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness, Flourish and Optimistic Children, presented his latest projects, his work with the U.S. army and Google. He and his colleagues are on the cutting edge of science, developing practical and useful exercises that are easy to incorporate into your day to day routine and have been researched to show their effectiveness in increasing optimism, motivation and happiness. The research presented at the congress shows over and over that we are in control of our psychological health and that of our children. The tools of positive psychology that Eloise combines with her naturopathic advice help you gain greater psychological health, greater life satisfaction and resilience.
