Ellen Smith
Ellen’s passion for natural health and healing began at a young age, and has been a practising Naturopath for over 20 years.
Over the years she has completed many different courses within her field. One of the most recent courses was studying under Dr Dale Bredesen in the U.S. after hearing that he has been successfully reversing Alzheimer’s Disease, and Ellen loves helping people with this condition.
Ellen works extensively with people with thyroid conditions, having a thyroid condition herself, and after successfully reversing her Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis feels well equipped to help others with this condition.
The digestive system is also of particular interest, as “all disease starts in the gut”, and Ellen loves to help people improve their gut health and “microbiome”.
Stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia are also high on her list of priorities - another quote, “stress is a killer”, which is absolutely true.
After spending so much time in this field that she is incredibly passionate about, there isn’t a lot Ellen hasn’t seen or helped people with. Ellen is always happy to talk to people if they have any questions, so please do not hesitate to call!
