Simply Great Health

Welcome to Simply Great Health

At Simply Great Health we provide a high quality holistic and natural health experience, addressing you the person, not just the symptoms. Our comprehensive consultation explores emotional, physical and lifestyle factors, which may be affecting your health and wellbeing.

As Hippocrates said 2,400 years ago: “It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”

We can provide you with a carefully selected combination of herbal medicines, practitioner-only brand supplements, lifestyle and dietary advice, and stress management techniques in order to restore your body’s own ability to heal itself.

If by the end of your first consultation you do not feel we have the knowledge and expertise to work with you to improve your health and well-being your consultation will be free.

How we work

As Natural Medicine Therapists using holistic health care we work with you to address both your immediate and long-term health goals, help relieve symptoms as well as identify the underlying cause, and give you the necessary tools to enhance your body’s ability to heal itself.

We recognise that other factors (eg. emotional or environmental) can cause or add to health problems, and act as barriers to healing, so we work holistically to ensure ALL contributing factors are addressed.

This may be in the form of dietary or exercise advice, breathing or meditation exercises, relaxing massages, herbal formulas, nutritional supplements, Bach flowers - or simply being there to listen to you, or chat over a soothing cup of herbal tea.

About the practitioners

Alison
BNatMed (with Distinction) B.Ed (Hons) | Naturopath | Medical Herbalist | Hemaview™ Practitioner

I am a Degree Qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Massage Therapist with a Bachelors Degree in Natural Medicine from South Pacific College of Natural Medicine.

I also have a Bachelors Degree in Education (Hons) in Physical Education from Dunfermline College in Edinburgh, Scotland, along with qualifications in woman’s fitness training.

I am a mother of three busy teenagers so fully understand the constant juggle of family life, work and the unique demands of teenagers as they have their own special needs, insecurities and stress.

Having experienced the benefits of Natural Medicine with family health issues, I am passionate about helping others to make a positive difference to their lives. With some guidance and encouragement, often small lifestyle changes can have a profound effect on your health, wellbeing and vitality.

Let me help you take a journey to better health, and ultimately a better life by providing the tools you need to help reduce stress and increase vitality and to reduce the likelihood of developing many of today’s lifestyle diseases such type two diabetes, some cancers and many cardiovascular diseases along with various acute conditions that occur with lowered immunity.

My goal is to always give you the best treatment options to support you with your individual health concerns and requirements. You will leave feeling better than when you arrived, listened to and supported.

Carolyn
Bachelor of Horticultural Science | National Diploma in Homeopathy

I have been passionate about homeopathy for more than twenty years and love seeing the benefit of improving the body’s ability to heal the mind, body and soul, holistically.

I am a qualified homeopath and I have studied at, the South Pacific College of Natural Therapies, Auckland, the Auckland College of Classical Homeopathy and The Hierophant, Australia.

I originally studied a Bachelor’s Degree in Horticultural Science and have always had a love of nature and I have found that this has complimented my knowledge of homeopathy. Homeopathy is suitable for all ages and treats a wide array of acute and chronic health problems.

I also widely use flower essences, homeobotanicals and cell (tissue) salts, to improve client’s well-being. My aim is to enable your body to return to a healthier balanced state and along the journey offer support to aid in that process.

I am currently working as a naturopath and nutritionist and have recently trained as a Metascan/Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) practitioner. In my practice I draw on a strong medical background in nutrition, biochemistry, neuroscience, pathophysiology and pharmacology.

This enables me to provide an evidenced-based problem solving approach for wellness and to manage chronic health conditions, anxiety and mild depression. I like to use functional medicine to assess nutritional status and BIA to assess body composition and cellular health.

Areas of interest/expertise include:

• Nutrition in breast cancer during chemo and radiotherapy
• Gastrointestinal health (e.g. IBS, allergies, Whiples, food intolerances)
• Autoimmune diseases (coeliac, psoriasis, rheumatic conditions, thyroid conditions)
• Metabolic syndrome (hypertension, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, non-insulin dependent diabetes, weight management, cardiovascular health)
• Chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia/chronic pain
• Nutritional assessments including vegetarian, vegan and other dietary patterns.
  
  
  

Testimonials

"Alison put me in a good space and helped give some balance to my life." - Mark

"After seeing Alison I feel more positive about life, feel like I am doing something I believe will help instead of floundering." - Lynne

"Alison approached my health concerns with an open mind. We were able to have candid discussions over several appointments which resulted in my being able to complement naturopathic remedies with my prescribed medication. Alison believed in working with me, my lifestyle and my budget and what she recommended gave results and was achievable." - Ranee

"I first met Carolyn Brown when I was experiencing nasty side effects from my third chemotherapy drug cycle. My friend ( a GP) referred me because nothing was helping my symptoms. Carolyn was meticulous in taking a full history, and devoted a great deal of time to gain a wholistic perspective of my illness.The offered remedies were certainly very helpful.Since then I have had ongoing support, as changes to my needs have evolved over time. I have now considerably outlived my projected life expectancy. Carolyn has a wealth of knowledge from an intellectual perspective, as well as an easy going practical approach to give a well rounded wholistic solution. I have found her input most valuable, and would not hesitate to recommend her advice on any health issue". - Madeleine ​

“I have been seeing both Alison and Carolyn over the last few months. What a team ! Both of them are such caring and nurturing women, with a wealth of experience and knowledge. I always look forward to my appointments with both of them, but especially my massages with Alison … Bliss. A monthly massage is part of my self care plan. I highly recommend both of these wonderful women.” - Lindy
