Naturopathy in Mt Warren Park
Naturopathy is about allowing your body to naturally heal through balancing the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies. Instead of relying on medication, naturopathy may use any of the following: Western and Chinese herbs, nutritional medicine (vitamins and minerals), diet, aromatherapy, flower essences, meditation, Yoga, and physical therapy.

Getting to the Root Cause
Naturopathy takes a functional medicine approach. Ultimately, the goal of Naturopathy is to resolve, diagnose, or pick up on the root causes and address them. That’s in contrast to allopathic medicine, which is symptom-based. So if you have a headache, you’d take a painkiller. Our approach for someone seeking help with a migraine would be to identify the appropriate herbal or nutritional medicine to assist short term with symptoms, but ultimately we are seeking the root cause or driver – we then address this as the primary intervention.
What to Expect
The first step is to schedule a 60-minute consultation with Carly. Upon booking, we will email you an online questionnaire to complete prior to your appointment. This first consultation can be a face-to-face meeting on Wednesdays at her office in Mt Warren Park in Queensland. She also provides the option of a Zoom or Telehealth appointment, if preferred, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you have any recent pathology or documents, you can upload them before your appointment. During the consultation, you will discuss with Carly your health background. She’ll review any pathology or reports, make a diagnosis (if enough information is accessible), determine the next steps, and discuss her approach to care.
If you don’t have much or any pathology to share with Carly that can assist with determining root causes or areas key to addressing, she can write a pathology script or letter to your doctor so you can get more taken. Carly has accounts with all major Pathology labs in Australia, as well as private labs.
Please check with your health fund to determine if you have ‘Nutritional consultations’ rebated.
At this visit, Carly will let you know what protocols she recommends based on new pathology and diagnosis, which will be customised to meet your unique needs. If any advice was given in the Initial consultation, a review of progress is also discussed.
Carly will have you come back two weeks later for a follow-up to ensure you haven’t had any problems with the protocol.
She will review the results to change the care plan if needed, and continue to adapt the protocol according to your symptoms or desired health outcomes.
After that, appointments are spaced out according to people’s unique needs.
