Naturopathy
Naturopathy works because every client is treated as an individual.
This means we consider the unique history and current situation of each person. Not just their medical details, but their personal and emotional experiences.
Naturopathy is not just about symptom relief. It is about identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances. We give the body the raw ingredients and stimulation it requires to do what comes naturally.
Naturopathic recommendations are evidence-based, and draw on ancient and traditional use of medicinal herbs. This combined use of cutting-edge research and ancient knowledge means you have more options than you can imagine.
Naturopathy is a joint effort. We aim to empower you with information and choice.
Services
We have a special passion for mental health, and the gut-mind connection. We love talking about neurotransmitters! We understand emotional wellbeing has a profound effect on women’s hormonal health. And vice versa, hormonal imbalance can affect mood.
Testing
A naturopath looks at your blood tests differently to your doctor. The optimal ranges we refer to are where we know people feel best. They are not for the purpose of meeting criteria for a diagnosis or to prescribe medication.
Supplement options
You will be amazed by the range of therapeutic uses naturopathic supplements have. The best thing is low or no chance of negative side-effects – only added bonuses!
Case Studies
Gut mind connection
Vicki | Age 50
Problem
Gut, immunity & energy.
Background information
Vicki's gut had recently been disrupted by a serious case of diarrhoea with fevers. After the diarrhoea stopped, Vicki was left with a chronic sore throat with tender glands which flared sporadically. Vicki's bowels were still either unformed or irregular on a monthly basis, possibly related to her menstrual cycle. Vicki's online business had been extremely busy during the pandemic and she recognised a need for more balance. Vicki also sadly lost her close cousin during this time.
Challenges
Vicki normally enjoyed walking but had stopped exercising when her work became increasingly busy. During the first months of undertaking the 600 Foods Plan, Vicki also started home renovations which added time pressure.
Naturopathic Care:
600 Foods Plan as a key part of a gut re-set to ensure she was only eating compatible foods.
“I am feeling good, we all had a bit of a head cold a week or two ago but recovered well, just lots of rest. I have however noticed my skin in my arms has cleared up the last week and I am feeling a lot more focused and less tired in the afternoons. Also, I am sleeping really well and no bloating - which is the best change!”

600 Foods Plan
We are as different on the inside as we are on the outside.
We do not promote a singular dietary approach at Hillarys Natural Health. We are not pro-vegan, pro-carnivore, pro-keto or pro-fasting. Each of these approaches – and all the others out there – have their merits. However, we firmly believe each individual requires an individual eating plan.

Information Gathering
With thorough questioning, we gather information on your case. We will communicate to you the various options we recommend, both verbally and in writing. You will receive a printed Advice Sheet to take home.
Action & Analysis
You decide which options you wish to undertake. We will guide you on expected timeframes in which to see results. If test results are available, these will be analysed naturopathically before your next appointment. If testing is required, we can advise or order.
Review & Adjust
A follow-up consultation will be scheduled an appropriate time after your initial consult. At your follow-up, we will review your original concerns and your progress. We may build on your original advice, or discuss alternatives. Your advice sheet is updated and provided to you every time.
