Naturopathy
Naturopathy at Naturopathic Connections combines nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle counselling to address root causes of health issues. Louise Gerry creates personalised treatment plans for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune support. This holistic approach integrates evidence-based practices with traditional therapies to promote long-term wellness through natural healing processes.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy uses gentle rolling movements to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. This non-invasive technique addresses musculoskeletal pain, posture issues, and nervous system imbalances. Suitable for all ages, it promotes relaxation while improving circulation and lymphatic drainage through targeted fascia stimulation.
Co-Biome Gut Testing
Functional gut microbiome testing identifies digestive health markers and microbial imbalances. The MetaXplore series provides comprehensive insights into gut health, enabling targeted treatment plans. This evidence-based approach helps address conditions like IBS, food intolerances, and immune-related digestive disorders through personalised dietary and supplement protocols.
Compatibility Testing
Hair or saliva-based compatibility testing identifies foods that disrupt cellular function. This DNA-assisted analysis reveals individual dietary triggers for inflammation, digestive issues, and energy imbalances. The six-month program includes follow-up testing and dietary guidance to improve symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and skin conditions.
Flower Essence Therapy
Custom flower essence blends address emotional and mental health through vibrational medicine. This therapy helps manage anxiety, sleep disorders, and behavioural issues by harmonising subconscious energy patterns. Personalised consultations combine emotional assessment with energetic balancing techniques for holistic mental wellness.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE WITH GABRIELLE BATES
Treat your body in the best way by booking in to see Gabrielle. She Respects the whole of body in a very gentle soothing manner. In a session it feels as if time slow downs to a soft gentle heart beat and there is no rush. Gabrielle is so very very considerate throughout the treatment to be certain I remain in a comfortable state. She pays attention to the small details that make a difference to feeling comfy. On our first appointment I loved how Gab gently took her time to get to know my bodys textures, feeling where there was tension, where there has been

The massage Gabrielle provided was a good balance of remedial and relaxation. She methodically worked through the problem areas in my neck and shoulders, and was also very receptive to my feedback and adjusted accordingly. I feel great after this massage, thank you.

Riley is a wonderful Bowen therapy practitioner. He is very informative, professional and makes you feel very comfortable. I went to see Riley because I have a bad lower back and could hardly walk due to spasm and after just one treatment with him, I was able to walk without spasming and it just progressively improved from there to my utter surprise. Two days later and I have almost all movement and range of motion back and 75% relieved from pain. Will be definitely returning for further sessions for maintenance. Highly recommend!
