At Herbs on the Hill, we understand that abiding by naturopathic advice can be easier said than done. Everyday activities such as work, study and socialising can detract the best of intentions quite easily.

Our approach to naturopathy and herbal medicine takes this into account. Our treatment plans are realistic, with all herbal medicine, vitamin, mineral and diet prescriptions carefully selected to be manageable and effective.

I live with both conditions myself. Other areas of interest include stress, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, gut health, lifestyle improvement work, hormonal dysfunction, and menopause (before, during and after), and mother and baby.
