'Combining modern science with ancient wisdom'
​
Clare believes in unearthing the innate point of balance within each individual and trusting in the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself and acknowledges that all bodies are truly unique. Clare looks beyond symptoms to identify and treat underlying causes of illness by considering you as a whole person – mind, body and spirit.
Patient centred care is the focus of all treatments and Clare offers a gentle compassionate approach to consulting. Clare adopts an integrative approach to healthcare and works collaboratively with General Practitioners and other healthcare professionals to ensure that you receive the best advice and care.
As a fully accredited Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science, Clare’s healing philosophy is based on the main Naturopathic Principles;
-
first, do no harm
-
find and treat the cause
-
nature has an innate healing power
-
treat the whole person
-
doctor as teacher
-
prevention
​
An initial consult will take 60 - 90 minutes. On your first visit, Clare will take a very thorough wellness history, asking about diet, lifestyle, stress, and environmental exposures. Clare may also conduct a physical examination, take your blood pressure, check your pulse, take photos of your iris and possibly request further laboratory tests if necessary. Alongside prescribed therapies, which may include nutritional counselling, herbal medicine, and flower essences, Clare will work to empower you to make the lifestyle changes necessary to achieve and proactively maintain the best possible health.

"Seeing Clare allowed me to eat foods I never though I would be able to eat again. Her knowledge and guidance in helping to heal my gut made me feel the best I've felt since being diagnosed with IBS and coeliac disease over 10 years ago."
