Available for appointment at Olea Health Springwood and Eatons Hill- Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist.
Vinola strongly believes that Natural Medicine is fundamental in sustaining physical and mental well-being in a world where twenty-first century living and our way of life often contradicts what it is to remain balanced and healthy..
As a qualified and experienced Naturopath with a degree in Biochemistry and a lifelong passion in the health sciences, Vinola draws upon a combination of institutional, alternative and natural medicine to improve the wellbeing of her patients and for them to reach their health goals.
Vinola’s approach is to get to the root cause of a patient’s health issue and for them to use their own vital force to heal rather than band-aid solutions which are common in mainstream medicine. Clients can expect initial consultations to include naturopathic questioning, which may involve tongue and nail analysis, iridology, dietary planning, herbal medicine and nutritional medicine to provide actionable steps to improve health and wellbeing.
Vinola also uses various diagnostic tools such as Pathology, Live Blood Screening, IgG testing, and Indican testing for gut health for further assessment.
Her speciality areas include women’s’ health, weight loss/weight gain, depression/anxiety, energy and stress management, thyroid health, detoxification, insulin resistance, immune support, endocrine issues, fertility and digestive disorders.
