Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine brings together both Western and Eastern medicine as well as nutritional medicine. Here at Holistic Wellness Australia we focus mainly on integrative medicine for mental health but also basic physical health as well.
“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
– Thomas A. Edison
By integrating evidence-based knowledge and strategies with extensive clinical experience, Natalee will take you step-by-step through the essentials of using nutritional and integrative medicine so you can improve your mental health and well-being.
Many clients self-prescribe based on information obtained on the Internet or from their friends. While many of these clinical methods have few negative side effects, some herbal supplements, juice fasts, and other “apparently” healthy activities can have significant adverse outcomes if not tailored to the individual’s psychobiology.
We provide you with personalized care from an array of scientific disciplines proven to improve your mood and mental health.
