Integrative Healthcare Offers Personalised, Holistic and Less Toxic Solutions

Integrative healthcare includes Functional Medicine that focuses on treating the core cause through nutrition and lifestyle which can treat and reverse chronic illness by supporting the body’s innate ability to heal, grow, prevent and fight disease. The focus is on cellular health (toxins out and nutrients in).

Best outcomes result from teams of well-trained professionals and educated patients who work together to select, sequence and integrate treatments that treat the whole individual with a focus on addressing core causes versus symptoms. This also saves time and money for families seeking answers as well as for Government and the wider community.

By recognizing that disease is not solely genetic, we can take charge of our health as well as the health of future generations.

autism, ADHD, allergies, anxiety, anorexia, asperger’s, asthma, autism, bi-polar, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, dyslexia, dyspraxia, food sensitivities, infections, learning & language delay, mood, sleep disorders, obesity, OCD, ODD, schizophrenia, sensory processing disorder, auditory & visual processing disorder, metabolic, immune and digestive disorders and more.
