Herbal Medicine & Iridology
Counselling
Herbal medicine offers a variety of benefits for those seeking natural alternatives to conventional treatments. Herbs can provide relief from various ailments while often having no side effects compared to synthetic medications. Iridology is the study of the iris, to assess a person's health and well-being. Embracing herbal medicine is a more holistic approach to health.
Counseling is a professional, collaborative process that helps individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe environment. It provides support and guidance for personal challenges or life transitions, allowing clients to gain insight and develop coping strategies. It aims to empower individuals to make positive changes and improve overall well-being.
Remedial massage offers numerous benefits for both the body and mind. It helps alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility. Additionally, it can aid in the recovery from injuries and reduce stress levels, promoting overall well-being. Regular sessions can contribute to a healthier lifestyle and improved physical performance.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Practitioners use light touch to release tension and restore balance, promoting overall well-being and emotional health. It is often sought for its calming effects and ability to support holistic healing.
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific energy pathways on the feet which correspond to different organs and systems in the body to activate the healing process. This holistic approach aims to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Reflexology offers a unique way to nurture your body and mind.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, therapeutic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the removal of toxins from the body. This type of massage involves light, rhythmic strokes that encourage the flow of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling and improve circulation. It is often used to boost the immune system, detoxification and enhance overall wellbeing.
Herbal Medicine & Iridology
Herbal Medicine is a time-honoured practice that uses plant-based remedies to treat various health conditions.
​
Northern Beaches Natural Therapies combines empirical knowledge with modern scientific research to create safe and effective, personalised treatments.
​
Our herbal medicines come in liquid extract form, made purely from dry plant material combined with ethanol and water, ensuring maximum absorption and potency.
Iridology complements Herbal Medicine by providing insights into your body's condition through a detailed examination of the iris. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps us understand your unique health profile, identify potential issues, and tailor treatments accordingly.
What to Expect
During your initial consultation, Karen will take a comprehensive health history, including your presenting condition, personal and family medical history, diet, lifestyle, and mineral deficiency assessment.
Iridology will also be used to gain further insights into your health. Based on this information, Karen will create an individualised treatment plan that includes dietary and lifestyle recommendations, a custom blend of herbal medicine, and any necessary nutritional supplements.

Tanya: “About 18 months ago I started to get hot flushes during the day and at night I sweated profusely, I was was stressed due to family situations, wasn’t sleeping well and felt like the world was on my shoulders and blah 😒. I reached out to Karen for help as she had worked with my daughter for period pain and regulation. Karen has been amazing, my sweats and flushes have gone completely and I sleep soundly. My stress levels fluctuate but mostly I feel better in myself . Thank you Karen for your magic herbal medicine concoctions. I am very happy I found you.”
Pauline: "After getting nowhere with doctors over the past 10 years, I found Karen... She assessed me thoroughly - in the true sense of holistic - and first sent me home equipped with detox remedies followed by a series of herbal medicines and mineral supplements to replenish what my body lacked but desperately needed. Nothing like any other treatment I've experienced... I cannot thank Karen enough and highly recommend her, particularly if traditional doctors are failing you."
