Preconception health care

Before seeing Katherine I had been diagnosed with PCOS by my doctor who placed me on The Pill, believing that my body would normalise itself after 2 years. I did what I was told but began to worry when my period still had yet to return after about 6 months of stopping The Pill. My blood hormone levels were still abnormal and I felt generally unwell, so I knew I had to do something. My doctor and a specialist I was referred to were unable to help, so I began looking for an alternative. I came across Katherine’s webpage when searching for an experienced naturopath in the Brisbane area. After an extremely thorough initial consultation, I was prescribed herbal liquid formulas specifically tailed to my personal condition and supplements, as well as lifestyle advice. After about 8 months of consultations with Katherine, I am at the stage where I am now averaging approximately 30 day menstrual cycles and all my initial blood test results have since returned to within the normal ranges. I have also learned a lot more about my body and in addition to helping me naturally regulate my hormones, Katherine has also helped me to get a better night’s sleep and deal with the stress in my life. I am someone who thought I would only ever rely on conventional medical therapies, but I am so pleased to have decided to try naturopathy. I still believe there is definitely a place for pharmaceutical therapies, but a taking a natural approach to my health has been one of the best decisions I have made recently. Thank you Katherine for your persistent help and concern for my health.

In the short time that I have been visiting the clinic I am already feeling better despite years of digestive problems. Katherine is a warm and extremely helpful practitioner. I am looking forward to my ongoing treatments!

The level of care given by Katherine is second to none, she is absolutely amazing. After seeing Katherine and working on my health issues, I fell pregnant naturally and had a dream pregnancy with no morning sickness or nausea! I still see Katherine post pregnancy and I feel great. Katherine has been so supportive and I know she is only a phone call or email away if I have a question or need an appointment. I honestly can’t thank her enough!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are just brilliant… I have had a couple of great sleeps not disturbed by any hot flushes and I’m only getting a few mild flushes during the day. Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually having a flush at all or whether it is just warm. Thanks again. I just wanted to let you know how happy I have been with your treatment and especially the results.

Katherine carefully analyzes health problems; her holistic approach to promoting well-being is practical and achieves outstanding results. I would highly recommend a visit.

I have continued to feel much better than I did before my first visit with you! It’s been a long while since I’ve had cramps or headaches/dizzy spells. Since the diet change and the visits I had with you I’ve never felt bloated again and am so happy I feel ‘normal’ rather than feeling ‘full’ and uncomfortable all the time. You’ve helped me immensely, Katherine, and thank you so much for all that you’ve done for me! You’re an awesome naturopath and will highly recommend your services to anyone!

Hello Katherine, Im sure you would like to know this. You helped open my eyes to the importance of what we feed ourselves. I have gained so much through your warm and intelligent newsletters. I hope you don’t mind me doing this but I send your letters on to a couple of friends and they feel the same as I do. I wish you wonderful things.

Having recently experienced a couple of weeks without my herbal mixture I am further convinced of the wonderful difference they make to my well being. While I wasn’t ‘sick’ without them I didn’t feel as well and energetic as I do when I’m taking them. After a week on the new batch of herbs I caught a head cold so I increased the dose to three times a day (you had said that I could) which felt good and I recovered from the cold quite quickly without any lingering cough. Thank you Katherine – I’m delighted at the improvement in my ‘wellness’.
