Naturopathy for Stress & Anxiety
Calming The Nervous System & Building Emotional Resilience
The pressures of daily life, work, relationships, and responsibilities can leave you feeling stretched thin, anxious, or constantly on edge. Stress and anxiety are not just mental or emotional experiences; they affect your entire body, influencing sleep, energy levels, digestion, immune function, and overall wellbeing. When your nervous system is under chronic strain, it can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
As your naturopath, I take an evidence-based approach to understand the complex interactions between your nervous system, hormones, and overall health. By carefully assessing the underlying contributors to your stress or anxiety, we can develop a personalised plan that supports your body’s natural ability to regulate and recover.
My goal is to help you restore balance, calm your nervous system, and build resilience, so you can feel more grounded, focused, and fully present in your daily life. This approach prioritises long-term wellness, empowering you to navigate life’s demands with greater ease and confidence.
Common Symptoms You Might Be Experiencing
Stress, anxiety, and related imbalances can show up in many ways, including:
Constant worry or nervous tension
Trouble sleeping or frequent waking
Ongoing fatigue or burnout
Low mood, irritability, or mood swings
Difficulty concentrating or poor memory
Feeling overwhelmed or unable to relax
These symptoms are signs your body and mind are asking for support.
How I Can Support You
I support people experiencing stress, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances, low mood, and difficulties with focus or emotional balance. Each person’s experience is unique and personal, and my approach is always individualised.
-
Racing thoughts, excessive worry, and physical tension are often signs that your body’s stress-response system is overstimulated.
Evidence suggests that chronic anxiety can disrupt cortisol rhythms, affect neurotransmitter balance, and impair sleep and cognition.
Through careful assessment, I identify the underlying contributors, whether lifestyle, physiological, or emotional, and provide evidence-based guidance to help calm your nervous system, enhance resilience, and restore a greater sense of control over your mental and physical wellbeing.
-
Persistent low mood, lack of motivation, or emotional heaviness can indicate imbalances in stress hormones, neurotransmitters, or metabolic function.
An evidence-based, integrative approach examines how sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, and systemic stress influence emotional health.
By identifying root causes and addressing them with personalised strategies, we aim to support sustainable improvements in mood, restore energy, and enhance overall emotional wellbeing, so you can engage more fully in your life.
-
Ongoing fatigue or exhaustion, even after rest, is a common outcome of chronic stress, disrupted sleep, or hormonal imbalance.
Burnout may present as physical tiredness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, or emotional depletion. Evidence suggests that systemic stress affects metabolic and endocrine function, which, in turn, impacts energy regulation.
Through detailed assessment and personalised planning, we can support your body’s natural energy systems, rebuild resilience, and restore sustainable vitality, enabling you to feel more capable, focused, and engaged in daily life.
-
Sleep is essential for physical restoration, hormonal balance, cognitive function, and emotional regulation.
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative sleep often reflects stress, nervous system dysregulation, or hormonal fluctuations.
Evidence-based assessment allows us to identify contributing factors and implement strategies that support healthy sleep rhythms, enhance nervous system balance, and improve overall wellbeing. Restorative sleep underpins your ability to manage stress, maintain energy, and optimise cognition.
-
Mental fog, memory lapses, and difficulty concentrating are frequently linked to chronic stress, disrupted sleep, or hormonal imbalance.
Evidence indicates that cognitive function is strongly influenced by neurotransmitter activity, systemic inflammation, and nervous system regulation.
By assessing these underlying contributors, we can implement personalised, evidence-based strategies to enhance memory, improve focus, and support long-term brain health. This empowers you to think clearly, perform efficiently, and feel mentally resilient.
-
Irritability, emotional swings, and fluctuations in motivation often reflect the interplay between stress hormones, neurotransmitters, and lifestyle factors.
Evidence-based assessment allows us to identify these contributors and create targeted strategies to stabilise mood, enhance emotional resilience, and restore a sense of balance.
Supporting mood is not just about alleviating negative emotions; it is about nurturing your overall quality of life and wellbeing.
Functional Testing
To gain a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to stress, anxiety, and fatigue, I may recommend evidence-based functional testing such as:
Adrenal hormone panels
Thyroid assessments
Nutrient status evaluations
These tests provide valuable insights into how your body is functioning and help identify imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms.
With this information, we can create a personalised plan to restore balance, support mental clarity, boost energy, and build resilience.
