Welcome to the Clinic of
Natural Health Medicine

I’m Maria Harpas, the director of Natural Health Medicine, Clinical Nutritionist and a Naturopathic practitioner with over 12 years experience.

I believe that you need to be guided by what your biochemistry reveals, by the symptoms you have, by your family's health history and by what you can manage in your life right now 🙂  You then need someone to step you through in easily and realistic, manageable ways to change what is required. Imagine being guided to achieve this and at the same time be educated in a practical way, avoiding fads, trends, depressing groups that confuse rather than support and "health cults" that have no idea of your particular health strengths and weaknesses.

We need to ensure a mindfulness of the medical approach and that we respect and value when the marrying of medical and natural approaches are needed. We need to work with doctors when needed. At the same time we need to ensure that we are not just shutting down symptoms with drugs and ignoring the body's screaming needs, which will only lead to more health issues.

Because ultimately we want to improve how you feel, how your body functions and how to avoid future health issues - for a better life !

Improvements in your health happen through lifestyle medicine: food, movement, sleep, stress management, environmental influence, social connection and if needed integrating orthodox medicine when called for!
