Naturopathy

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a holistic system of healthcare with roots in centuries-old healing traditions. It focuses on treating the patient as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than merely addressing isolated symptoms. The overarching aim is to achieve long-term wellness by supporting the body’s intrinsic ability to repair and maintain health.

Our Naturopaths act as guides, identifying and removing the obstacles to healing. They rigorously investigate and identify the cause of illness, viewing disease not as a standalone problem but as a symptom of deeper, internal imbalance. In turn, this approach plays a critical role  on prevention through education and informed choices.

The consultation with our Naturopaths starts with an in-depth, comprehensive consultation that is much more extensive than a standard check-up. They gather a detailed health history, covering genetics, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and environmental factors. This holistic assessment is often supplemented by specialised diagnostic tests, such as functional blood or stool analysis, to gain precise and  actionable insights

Our Naturopaths are trained to screen for potential interactions between natural medicines and pharmaceutical medications, ensuring the treatment plan is safe and does not compromise conventional care.

Areas of interest are:

  • Cardiometabolic Health: Managing conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension through dietary intervention, exercise, and targeted supplementation.
  • Autoimmune Conditions: Supporting conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and thyroid disorders by focusing on immune modulation and gut health.
  • Gastrointestinal Disorders: Specialising in treating chronic issues like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).
  • Hormonal Balance: Addressing issues across the lifespan, including PMS, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), endometriosis, infertility, and menopausal symptoms.
  • Fertility and Preconception Care: Optimising the health of both prospective parents before conception to enhance fertility and improve pregnancy outcomes.
  • Stress, Fatigue, and Sleep Disorders: Utilising adaptogens, and lifestyle management to restore energy balance, improve sleep quality, and support adrenal function.
  • Nutritional Optimisation: Developing personalised dietary plans, managing food sensitivities, and correcting nutrient deficiencies to support overall vitality and immune function.
  • Detoxification and Environmental Medicine: Guiding safe and effective detoxification protocols to help the body process and eliminate toxins acquired from the environment or diet.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the oldest and the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. It is medicine made exclusively from plants.

Herbal medicine is validated by rigorous scientific research which has explored the complex chemistry of plants. Many modern pharmaceuticals have been modelled on, or derived from, phytochemicals found in herbs. Increasing research on herbal medicine demonstrates that liquid botanicals play a critical role during, before and after a diagnosis of cancer.

Vitawell Wellness seeks to provide only the highest quality full spectrum herbal extracts available.

Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is a gentle, non-invasive bodywork therapy developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950s. It involves gentle rolling moves over muscles, tendons, and fascia, interspersed with short pauses to allow the body to respond and integrate the changes.

The Bowen Technique stimulates the autonomic nervous system to promote self-healing and restores balance and relieves pain or tension by addressing the body as a whole. Beneficial for musculoskeletal pain (e.g. back, neck, shoulders), headaches, stress, sports injuries, and general wellbeing.

Cancer Fatigue

Cancer-related is one of the most common side effects of cancer and its treatments. Like fatigue, cancer fatigue is whole-body exhaustion that you feel no matter how much sleep or rest you get. Cancer fatigue takes exhaustion a step further: You feel physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted most of the time. Cancer fatigue may last a few weeks (acute) or for months or years (chronic).

To improve energy effectively, we provide modalities ranging from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy therapies, to herbal medicine and targeted nutritional interventions.

OrthoDynamics

Orthodynamics is a non-invasive bodywork technique designed to relieve structural pain, long-term injuries, and stress stored in the body. It works by using trigger points and gentle movements to release trauma, realign posture, and restore natural movement patterns. By mimicking the body’s position during the original traumatic event, it helps the "body mind" recognize and gently release stored pain and tension. This method is especially effective for resolving muscle spasms and chronic holding patterns, promoting lasting postural correction without pain.

TBM

In the field of kinesiology, Total Body Modification (TBM) is a unique and comprehensive system of healing that operates on the principle that the body has an innate intelligence and capacity to heal itself, provided its regulatory systems are functioning optimally. Developed by Dr. Victor L. Frank, TBM is a form of energy medicine that combines chiropractic principles, acupuncture concepts, and applied kinesiology techniques.

The core idea behind TBM is that the body can become "switched off" or imbalanced due to physical, chemical, or emotional stress. These imbalances create functional blocks within the nervous system, preventing the body from regulating itself effectively. This can manifest as a wide range of symptoms, from pain and fatigue to digestive issues, allergies, and emotional distress.

Individualised Plans

Cancer requires negotiation and navigation. Decisions must be made. Directions must be pursued. The decisions and directions often occur in the middle of stress, fear, trauma, and many other challenging emotions. The skills with which people negotiate and navigate their cancer journey are better supported by combining conventional treatments with evidence-based natural medicine.

At Vitawell Wellness, we design individual programs to support you regardless of your diagnosis and the stage of your cancer. We collect all critical information about your state of health and help you in your decision-making process with the wisdom and the experience that comes from years of clinical practice. We work in alignment with what you think, feel, say, and do. In this way, we honour your self-awareness, your knowledge and views and integrate them in safe practices.
