Herbal medicine that gets to the root of things.
Consultations with Naturopathic Herbalist Katie Harvison at the Twig Apothecary in Toronto, Lake Macquarie.
Most people who find their way to me have already tried a few things. They've seen their GP, maybe tried some supplements from the health food shop, changed their diet. Things have helped a bit, or for a while, or not at all. What they haven't had is someone sit down with them and really look at the whole picture, the sleep, digestion, hormones, stress, the whole history, and work out what's actually going on underneath.
That's what I do.
I'm Katie, herbalist and naturopath, and I've been in clinical practice for over ten years. I will work with you, based you your presenting health picture and any testing we do to create an acheivable, practicle and effective treatment plan, With none of the Wellness hype, just wholistic healing using evidence based medicine blendind with traditional herbal wisdom.

What happens in a consultation
Your first appointment is about an hour. Katie will ask about your health history, your current symptoms, what you've already tried, and what your day-to-day life looks like.
From there she puts together a treatment plan and, where appropriate, blends a liquid herbal tonic specifically for your health needs. You leave with something made for your situation and a clear sense of what you're working toward and why.
Follow-up appointments are shorter and focus on how things are progressing and whether the formula needs adjusting.
Naturopathic treatment is a process, not a one stop shop with a quick fix. To really address to root cause of your health concerns we need to dig deep, (sometimes this involves deeper testing- microbiome and more) adjust your treament based on your responce and spend time together, while letting the herbs do their work.
