Qualifications: BHSc Naturopathy
MEET GOLD COAST NATUROPATH ELISHA
Hello, I’m Elisha, a degree qualified Naturopath (and Holistic Chef) on the Gold Coast with a passion for helping others understand their body and how strategic, evidence-based use of herbs, diet and lifestyle can help you achieve the health outcomes you desire.
Inquisitive by nature, I believe the quality of the answers you get depend on the quality of questions asked; therefore our consultation time is used to uncover your unique health picture, essentially, ‘what makes you, YOU?’ and ‘what is the underlying cause of your current presentation?’; answering these questions not only assists your healing journey, it guides the formulation of your unique treatment plan and minimises the chances of relapsing.
My greatest passion is for Women’s health, from menarche to menopause. My health journey began as one with very little illness, spending all of my time in the fresh air and open spaces of our rural family farm with frequent seaside escapes…everything changed once my teen years began. Menarche saw the start of long term medicated cycles, late teens bought the arrival of an eating disorder, late 20’s were full of hormonal chaos and my 30’s were met with physical burnout. Always up for an experiment, I decided change was needed and embarked on a new journey…what did my female body need in order to thrive? As it turns out, the female body cannot thrive under stress and nutritional paucity, I guess you could say we are the ultimate barometer for when life gets hectic and unsustainable. However, when our female body is fully supported she rides the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wave every month…blissfully symptom free, this is what I want all women to experience…this is why I do what I do.
