About Karyn

Karyn is passionate about helping people lead happier and healthier lives. Fully trained in naturopathy, nutrition, colon therapy, iridology and a range of massage styles, she feels confident that she can help almost anyone achieve more vitality and health.

Karyn is dedicated to integrating scientific evidence with traditional knowledge and a holistic understanding. Her analytical approach seeks to identify all aspects from the underlying imbalance to the best strategy for each individual case; this is the art of putting it all together.

As a naturopath, Karyn believes that there are two aspects to the important task of maintaining and restoring your health.  Firstly, it is important to adhere to natural laws… having a good diet and getting enough sleep and adequate exercise is a start.  Fulfilling social relationships are also vitally important to health.  They foster a sense of purpose and belonging: this is the "spiritual" side of health, which for some extends into the religious; but for our purposes let us just say that we need a sense of meaning in our lives, whatever the source.  Stress management is important.  For some this will simply be a hobby; there are however more powerful forms of relaxation such as meditation, whose techniques have evolved over thousands of years.  Karyn is an experienced meditator and she is trained to assist you with all the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain optimum health.  

These principles are important in maintaining natural health.  They may also be necessary in the restoration of health, where the individual has become sick.  In many people, however, these changes for the better are not enough, due to inherited weaknesses or longstanding abuse of the principles of natural health. In these cases medicine needs to be given. To work holistically this needs to be natural medicine that treats the whole person and removes the blocks to "cure" that are stopping the body from healing itself.

Karyn regularly attends seminars and follows a number of medical publications to keep up with the latest understanding and research. and prefers to take an integrative approach with other health care practitioners, such as doctors, osteopaths, podiatrists and counsellors.

Karyn has a special interest in stress related disorders, and imbalances of the digestive and nervous system.
