Karen Hogan graduated as a Naturopath from the Southern School of Natural Therapies in 1986. She has over 25 years of practical experience in the natural therapies field and a passion for health incorporating Herbs, Homoeopathics, positive diet and lifestyle protocols, carefully monitored detoxification practices, bowel cleansing programs, vitamin and mineral therapy and emotional/energetic medicines such as the Bach and Bush Flower remedies in her clinic. By using Naturopathic diagnostic techniques such as Iridology and RBTI analysis much is revealed about the state of a person’s health, often before standard medical tests can detect change. This information allows Karen to provide a personalized and precise treatment.
Her aim is to facilitate and enhance the body’s own innate healing powers using positive diet and lifestyle protocols. She begins her consulattion by taking a detailed case history and iris photo. An RBTI test is also recommended. Consultations last 1hour and the cost of initial and subsequent visits are at competitive prices. An new iris photo is taken each visit.
She is also a member of The Australian Traditional Medicine Society ( ATMS )
