In my practice I listen to symptoms and case histories, observe (its amazing what your posture can indicate for example) and make a general assessment. I then use various naturopathic diagnostic techniques such as Iridology and Bioresonance, to provide additional information. During the consultation I apply the Alpha Stim medical device, at the end of the consultation, I do a bioresonance innervoice scan that is a catalyst for lasting change.

By the time the majority of my patients come to me they have already had a spectrum of medical tests which are usually 'normal' and yet they continue to experience real symptoms. As research has shown, many pathogens are extremely difficult to detect unless a patient is in the acute stage. As with therapies such as Acupuncture and Osteopathy, Naturopathy offers a different assessment approach which is beneficial.

Iridology like all diagnostic assessments is not foolproof, but provides information hard to determine by any other method. Your eyes are unique to you and therefore tells your personal story. Various shapes and colors in the iris indicate the health and function of organs and systems. Iridology also aids in the formulation of specific remedies and treatment plan.

For example, it can identify if the pain in your back is from posture, emotional (e.g the heavy burden you carry), inflammation, lymphatic congestion, arthritis or deterioration of discs, indicating a referral to an Osteopath or Physiotherapist for specialist treatment and further tests.

Time and again I have determined in clinic that a patient's problems stem from their thoughts/feelings/emotions. And the majority of these patients have acknowledged that. (think about it, what was going on in your life at the time your symptoms began?). A few have not wanted to address these - all in ones own time. Corporate businesses use personality typing such as Myers Briggs to match jobs to people and identify their strengths. I do something similar in clinic.

Your personality, habits, how you cope and deal with every day life, what your thoughts & feelings are focused on- all affect your health. Phlegmatic? Laid back? A worrier? A perfectionist? Always in a hurry? These traits can produce a set of matching symptoms. I use a template in practice which is invaluable and helps to match symptoms to specific remedies/minerals/treatment plan and tailored advice.

I have witnessed and read such amazing healing results achieved from addressing these factors. One patient came to me very troubled, she had recent symptoms and ran through the list of what she had done to correct them including seeing various practitioners. Nothing had helped and I said you have done everything except one thing. What is your stress and what thoughts and feelings have you been experiencing? I then proceeded to show her Louise Hay's book which perfectly matched her symptoms to her current thoughts and feelings. This was her healing-she did not need any remedies and she got in touch a couple of weeks later to say her symptoms had drastically reduced and continuing to do so.
