Mental Health

When overwhelmed by life’s stresses and challenges, it’s easy to feel isolated. You are not alone!.

Optimal health and well-being encompasses not only physical health but mental and emotional health. Mental Health disorders are not limited to a special subset of the population; they can affect anyone, at any time.

In fact 45% of the population will suffer a mental health disorder at some point in their life. At Journey to Health we can help.

Traditionally, individuals suffering such imbalances have been treated through psychological and pharmaceutical methods, however, due to a growing awareness of biochemical individuality a better understanding of the role that nutrition plays in mental health has been developed. The program utilised by Patricia produces treatment priorities tailor made for individual patients by assessing a range of neurotransmitters and chemical messengers including serotonin, dopamine, acetycholine, opioids, GABA, histamine, adrenaline, phenylethylamine and melatonin as well as genetic factors such as kryptopyrolles and MTHFR.

Autism Spectrum Disorders

Patricia is also a passionate homoeopath – acute and classical prescribing, employing disease prophylaxis, birth kits and first aid kits.

She also treats a wide variety of common health problems such as SINUS, STOMACH DISORDERS, INSOMNIA, STRESS & ANXIETY, SKIN problems, HEADACHES, ALLERGIES, FOOD INTOLERANCE, CHOLESTEROL problems, HEARTBURN/REFLUX, as well as treating chronic and less common disorders.
