I was a practising dentist for 20 years and kept finding that my patients had health conditions which we, in modern medicine, were not very proficient at preventing while they are preventable. My interest was first piqued with the study of acupuncture which I would use to anesthetise patients who had allergic reactions to conventional anaesthesia. My husband and I also practised dentistry and dental surgery in Germany for many years. Following on from this I developed an interest in the many faceted profession of naturopathy. I qualified to practice naturopathy a few years before my family and I moved to New Zealand in 1999.
In naturopathy I found the answers to all the health problems which have started rearing their heads in our modern time. I always strive for as accurate a diagnostic regimen as possible. I have been using a digital diagnostic process for the past several years with great success so that you won't be given a 'trial and error' treatment approach. We will know exactly where your problem lies and how best to fix it. Many difficult cases which other methods have failed to remedy present to me on a regular basis. I find such cases intriguing and have always enjoying the challenge of finding the answers. Your participation in the process is usually a very important aspect of the process.
My approach to your health is multi-faceted. We will talk about the elements which your body is missing as well as which elements within your lifestyle are conspiring against your health. I have acquired many tools over the years which help to treat you more effectively - we will select the most appropriate ones for you. I tend to be realistic in what we can achieve through an alternative approach, so if necessary I may advise you to see a medical practitioner at the same time if further investigations or other intervetions are needed.
I regularly participate in online webinars and larger allied health conferences where lots of research studies are presented as to how we can best escape the mess that modern life can impose on our bodies.
All age groups are welcome to attend consultations with me and I hope to have the opportunity to help you soon.
