Naturopathy is a system of holistic medicine that acknowledges the healing power of nature and the intrinsic vitality and healing capacity of the body. Naturopathy seeks to determine the underlying causes of illness or imbalance, and to remedy these rather than just treating symptoms. In this way, naturopathy is about wellness, not disease. It is also about you as a whole person, and appreciates the way all your body parts and systems are connected, and the way your lifestyle, diet and state of mind impact your wellbeing.

Because we quite literally are what we eat, nutrition is the very foundation of good health. Paleo, Keto, Plant-based, Fasting, and food sensitivities - with so many different ways of eating out there, it can be so confusing to know what, and how, to eat! Asti will keep things simple and help you identify the best nutrition for your optimal health, energy and vitality.

Asti has a full herbal dispensary in her clinic where she can blend individualised herbal medicines and tonic to suit your needs. Instead of choosing a pre-made formula off the shelf, Asti can select the specific botanical extracts that will help to support you in your wellness. Liquid herbal tonics are high potency and pure, and easily assimilated by your body.

Asti preferentially chooses where possible extracts made in New Zealand to the highest standards, preferably with organically grown, locally sourced plants.

Herbal medicine—also known as plant medicine or phytomedicine—is the world’s oldest and most widely used healing system. Rooted in tradition and now supported by science, it uses plant-based preparations to support health, prevent illness, and ease discomfort.

Passed down through generations, herbal knowledge is increasingly backed by research showing that medicinal plants help reduce stress, improve sleep, aid digestion, support immunity, and promote overall wellbeing.

With so many supplements available these days, its important to know that you’re getting good quality, and the right formulas for you. Asti selects the best from many ranges of practitioner-only supplements, vitamins and minerals.

Because you are unique, so are your needs for supplemental vitamins and minerals. Its important to choose the right form of each nutrient, and in the right dose, to support your optimal health. Its also essential to make sure you don’t take anything you don’t need, especially as your health and requirements change.

Functional testing can offer valuable insights into the root causes of health imbalances that may not show up through standard testing. Asti uses a range of carefully selected functional tests to support deeper understanding, particularly for hormonal health, digestive concerns, food sensitivities, and nutrient deficiencies. These tests—such as DUTCH hormone analysis, Food Reactivity Testing, Organic Acids Test (OAT), SIBO breath tests, and simple in-clinic checks like Zinc and Omega-3 status—help personalise your care and guide targeted, effective treatment plans.
