About Melinda
|
My journey to become a naturopath and remedial massage therapist began after my own chronic condition with Grave’s Disease, an autoimmune condition.
Medical treatment worked directly on the thyroid which helped to suppress it, however it couldn’t stop the condition from becoming worse over time. My father recommended a naturopath as an alternative treatment option. Her holistic approach to my treatment through diet and lifestyle changes, counselling, herbal mixes and supplements provided my body with the support it needed to bring itself back into balance and health. The integrative approach she took with open communication to my endocrinologist and GP, I believe, was pinnacle to the success of my recovery. After this experience I wanted to know more about naturopathy and holistic health, and support others in the same way. Over time I have studied different modalities to enable me to provide a holistic approach to health and healing. These include a Bachelor Health Science in Naturopathy, a Diploma of Remedial Massage, with specialist certification in Oncology Massage, and Oncology RESTORE Scar Therapy, as well as the energetic field of Reiki. Your body’s health isn't one-dimensional, it lives in your tissue, your nervous system, your biofield, and your life story. Each individual treatment considers the full picture of a person, not just the presenting issue. I believe physical recovery is inseparable from emotional and energetic wellbeing. If you're seeking a holistic approach to support your health or interested in preventative health ideas, book in for an appointment. I look forward to meeting you soon.
