“It is far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.”
Our bodies are complex ecosystems, frequently misunderstood or even overlooked by mainstream medicine.
Nature provides almost everything we need to regain balance and feel truly great. All it takes is curiosity, patience, and a bit of investigation. And you won’t have to do it alone. I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll connect the dots to help you feel like yourself again.

Renée will always prescribe according to the individual constitution of a client and knows that a symptom, such as high blood pressure, is not the disease but has an underlying cause which may have developed suddenly or over many years. As a Naturopathic Herbalist Renée never prescribes herbs to ‘treat’ a symptom but look at the underlying cause and the constitution of a client.
What to expect at an appointment
An initial consultation with Renée normally takes about an hour. During this time Renée will ask questions about your condition, medical history, diet and lifestyle, and any conventional treatments that you may be taking. Renée may then use Iridology (looking into the iris), or tongue and nail diagnosis to get a better picture of the complete health state of the client. If needed, pathology testing such as hair, stool, or blood analysis may be recommended.
Once all of the information is gathered, a treatment plan is formulated that addresses all areas of the person’s life, providing the body with the optimum chance to heal itself. The treatment plan may include advice on diet, lifestyle, exercise, herbal medicine, homeopathic treatments, or other suitable remedies.
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
The healing power of nature
Prevention is preferable to cure
Treat the cause, not the symptom
The 'whole' person is treated. The person is unique
Health is more than the absence of infirmity
The person is treated not the disease
A Naturopath is an Educator
Ailments Should Not be Suppressed
Disease is due to the Internal Environment
Testimonial
"Before I started treatment with Renée, I was struggling with significant imbalances in my body. After eight months of investigation, changing habits, and extensive research—including body, mind, and emotional pattern observations—I was diagnosed with a dysfunction of my thyroid gland and Hashimoto’s disease. Despite having symptoms that greatly affected my quality of life, conventional doctors found my hormone levels to be within the reference range and, advised me to wait for further changes, observing and repeating tests over a year. Feeling frustrated and seeking a more holistic perspective, I decided to book an appointment on the recommendation of a friend studying Naturopathy and I found Renée. This decision has made all the difference. Renée provided a comprehensive approach to my health, not considering only my physical symptoms but also my emotional and mental well-being. Through personalised treatment plans, dietary adjustments, and herbal remedies, I started to experience significant improvements. Renée’s knowledge, attentiveness, and compassionate approach were evident from our first session. She made me feel heard and understood, which was a stark contrast to my previous experiences. It is fascinating how precise Renée’s knowledge, sensitivity and skills are. Under Renée’s care, my symptoms have improved, and I feel more balanced and energetic. Her holistic methods have addressed my thyroid issues and enhanced my overall quality of life. I am incredibly grateful for her support and expertise. I highly recommend Renée to anyone seeking a thorough, empathetic, and effective approach to health. Her dedication, passion and skills have truly made a positive impact on my life. Thank you!"
