A Wholistic Way To Treat Illness

Naturopathic medicine treats illness with a range of natural therapies, including herbal therapies, nutrition e.g. food as medicine & nutrient supplements, mind therapies e.g. counselling & psychology,  yoga, massage, physiotherapy and chiropractic care, to assist the whole person and regain wellness.

A qualified naturopathic practitioner has many years of professional training and experience in human sciences, biochemistry and clinical research.  You will receive a wholistic model of care involving individual and accurate assessment of various body systems along with presenting symptoms and/or pre-diagnosis to ultimately treat the cause.

Herbal medicine (in liquid extract or supplement form) is a major modality with Fiona Hoptman and has a long history of traditional uses.  Most recently herbal therapies has been gaining the attention of researchers due to the power of plant phytochemicals and their positive effects on health.

Testimonials

I was experiencing some health problems that Doctors couldn’t seem to fix and really wanted to try a natural approach after years of taking prescribed medication, I’d had enough. I didn’t know what to expect with my initial appointment but from the moment I walked into her office, I felt comfortable and found Fiona very friendly yet very professional. Fiona explained the process with which she would take and then sat quietly listening to all my issues. She was very patient and confirmed information I provided to her which made me feel that she was listening to what I was telling her. I have experienced fantastic results and extremely grateful to Fiona for all her help and expertise.

I was recommended to see Fiona Hoptman concerning my unbalanced thyroid. I found Fiona extremely warm caring and very knowledgeable. There was a lot of advice and support given to me. Fiona went above and beyond to help me and I would happily go back to see her.

I first visited Fiona in May 2017 with a health issue of mine. From our first meeting Fiona was friendly, open, informative and professional. Her advice to me has been extremely helpful. I have no hesitation in speaking to Fiona about any help I may need in the future.

Fiona is a compassionate and professional health care practitioner. She has helped me improve my health by providing simple and effective solutions to long standing problems. Her science based approach alongside the natural remedies provided is reassuring and I am grateful to have found her. Fiona has also helped my elderly mother and her quality of life has improved.

After years of pain medication and strong antibiotics my inner health was failing me. Treatment with conventional medicines was not giving me long time benefits. Although it is early days of my treatment by Fiona the benefits have been terrific and already I am feeling much better. I would strongly recommend Fiona she is a lovely passionate well qualified person.

Fiona knows her stuff. She was able to investigate and interpret what my body was doing and why. She's helped me with my CFS/ME, as well as my out of control gut health. With Fiona's help, I have been able to get my functioning back and live as I need and want to. I feel much stronger after a handful of visits and changes to my diet. Fiona clearly communicates and is very professional, as well as easy going. I will be returning to her as I need to. I highly recommend Fiona. Thank you sooo much Fee.

Fiona has been a very caring knowable lady that has changed my life with a positive outcome. My thyroid was very unbalanced . After following her insightful information on an autoimmune diet along with her herbal supplements I’m now living with a balanced thyroid without any medication. I’m forever grateful for her guidance and support through this process . I can’t recommend her highly enough to help anyone out there that’s looking for answers to live a happier healthier life .
