CLINICAL NATUROPATHY - GOLD COAST, BURLEIGH HEADS

Our experienced Naturopath's practice from our clinic in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast & Online, supporting clients world wide!

Naturopathy is a holistic system of health care that provides an individualised approach to health using both evidence-based natural medicine and traditional philosophies to help stimulate the body’s own healing capabilities. Our naturopaths are dedicated to uncovering and treating the root causes of your health concerns. We utilise a blend of traditional therapies and modern, evidence-based practices to create effective and personalised treatment plans. Functional pathology testing is also a key component of our approach, allowing us to gain deeper insights into your health and craft more precise interventions.

Our Unique Difference. Many people who visit a naturopath often find themselves overwhelmed with over-supplementation. At The Wellness Emporium, we take a different approach. We only prescribe supplements where they are truly needed. Our main focus is on investigation, education and treating the cause by establishing solid health foundations. Herbs and nutraceuticals are used as complementary tools to enhance the body’s natural healing capacity, not as the primary focus.

When you visit us, you won’t walk out with a hefty bill for unnecessary supplements. Instead, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your body and the knowledge and tools to achieve your health goals. This may include some carefully selected supplements, but more importantly, it will include a comprehensive plan tailored to your unique needs.

FEES & APPOINTMENT STRUCTURE

Treatment plans are individualised and may include any or all of the below depending on your needs

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today to help prevent and treat various illnesses. Herbs are powerful and effective forms of medicine that contain active constituents. These active constituents are what give herbs their therapeutic effects on the body. As different parts of a plant possess different active constituents, herbal medicines may contain some or all parts of a plant, including the flowers, roots, fruits, leaves and bark.

Although Herbal Medicines offer a safe and effective treatment to a wide variety of conditions, there is potential for interactions and side effects. It is therefore important that herbs should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified naturopath or herbalist to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness.

At The Wellness Emporium we combine traditional herbal knowledge with current scientific evidence to formulate herbal medicines that are suited to your individual needs. At The Wellness Emporium we only use herbs that are sourced from reputable companies with quality assured plants to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Clinical Nutrition

As Naturopaths we specialise in Nutritional Medicine, which encompasses a holistic approach in optimising nutrition according to individual needs and includes both Food as Medicine, as well as therapeutic supplementation (nutraceuticals). It may also include the addition or removal of certain foods and elimination diets. The foundation to good health requires the correct form and balance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and water. Often, food alone can provide us with the energy and vital nutrients necessary to remain healthy and prevent disease. However, nutrient imbalances can occur from poor dietary choices, food intolerances and allergies, gastrointestinal dysfunction, inflammation and environmental influences, which makes our body more susceptible to chronic disease.

At the Wellness Emporium we understand that each person is unique and therefore requires an individual approach to diet and supplementation. When providing a treatment plan we considered all factors that makes you YOU, including your genetics, health history and internal and environmental influences.

Lifestyle Counselling

Mental attitudes and emotional states are an important part of healing and disease. As Naturopaths we provide a holistic approach to health by supporting the mind, body and spirit. Our Naturopaths are trained in lifestyle counselling and offer a supportive network to achieve your health goals by helping you to identify and address habits and barriers that may be affecting your health. Lifestyle counseling provides support and guidance in lifestyle practices such as goal setting, mindfulness, affirmations, journaling, exercise and relaxation techniques.

At the Wellness Emporium we work with you to determine realistic and achievable goals, as well as behaviors, regimes and habits that best suit your lifestyle and optimize your health and wellness.

Flower Essences

Flower essences are a type of vibrational therapy that have been used since ancient times. They are a powerful, yet gentle, healing tool that acts to change the vibrational frequencies within the body to bring about emotional balances and achieve a more harmonised state. Flower essences are made from the flowering part of the plant, mixed with brandy (or apple cider vinegar) and pure water. Each flower essence possesses vibrational energy, which corresponds to specific conditions or issues and therefore are chosen on an individual and holistic basis.

At The Wellness Emporium we use the Australian Bush Flower Essences and work with you to combine individual flowers in a personalised formula to help address emotional and spiritual imbalances. We also do individualised flower essences (without an appointment) that can be ordered online here.
