Deborah Gibson, BSc ND
Deborah received her Bachelor of Science at McMaster University, and her qualification as a Naturopathic Doctor (Canada) from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (www.ccnm.edu). Like Lara, she is recognised as a Naturopathic doctor in Canada and the US.
Deborah moved to Australia in 2005 and has been practicing in Sydney ever since. What makes Deborah unique as a Naturopath in Australia is not only her training, but also her use of Acupuncture combined with the other common naturopathic treatments. This is a highly effective treatment for hormonal imbalances.
Deborah's Philosophy
Thorough Assessments.
To develop a complete understanding of a person's current health status, it is important to take a detailed case history, relevant physical exam and follow this up with specific tests. It is important to look deeper than just the obvious symptoms, as these symptoms alone do not provide a full picture of one's health.
Individualised treatment plans.
Naturopaths are able to choose from a wide variety of treatment modalities. The right combination of clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture gets the most effective and long lasting results.
Empowering and Educating Patients.
Deborah emphasises self-responsibility for health. "When a person understands both their health condition, treatment and prevention strategies, it motivates them to be more committed to sticking with their treatment plan."
Balance
Good health is a state of balance that can be maintained in the long-term with the appropriate support.
