As a registered and fully qualified naturopath and classical homeopath, Narelle is in her eleventh year of practice. She became drawn to natural therapies whilst living with a Naturopath in Germany for a year. After completing a degree in social sciences she began studying Naturopathy and worked as a Naturopath in a clinic and pharmacy for seven years. During this time she followed her passion and continued her studies in Homeopathy.

Naturopaths are the general practitioners of natural therapies. The philosophy of a naturopath is to provide an environment to support the recovery from illness. When you visit a naturopath your treatment is likely to include dietary advice, vitamins and minerals, herbal medicines and homeopathic medicines. The aim of the naturopath is to guide and assist natural healing to restore you to a state of good health. Your body has an in built desire to be well and will always work toward good health. If given the chance your body will heal itself.

Homeopathy is a scientific system of medicine which grew out of orthodox medicine of the 18th Century. The unique characteristic of homeopathy is the specific selection of a medicine to correspond with the patient’s symptoms according to specialised case taking. The philosophy of homeopathy is to find a medicine based on the law of similars or “what a substance can cause it can also cure”. For example a homeopathic medicine made from coffee can also be used to treat symptoms of insomnia, heart palpitations and anxiety. Homeopathy carries few risks in its practice and the method of preparations of remedies makes them non toxic and non addictive.

Narelle uses both naturopathy and homeopathy in her treatment. After an extensive consultation to gather detailed information about the patterns of your symptoms a personalised treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. Naturopathic modalities such as diet, lifestyle changes, herbs, vitamins and minerals are used as a supportive framework for recovery. Narelle then follows up with a single Homeopathic remedy based on a range of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors to assist in managing ongoing troublesome symptoms and eventually to remove the cause of the disease long term.
