Hi There!
Just a little on me, Massimo, for those who are wondering…
I am an Australian Registered & Qualified Naturopath with the Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA) (BHSc Naturopathy).
My interest in becoming a Naturopath is not similar to many.
Before coming into the field of Naturopathy and herbal medicine I’d had no idea what a Naturopath was. Quite frankly, I didn’t know much about herbs and the way the body worked; however, I had a deep sense of urgency inside me to be useful in some way to the people around me.
Growing up I began to see how many people close to me have fallen ill to many ‘dis-eases’ that I now know, are preventable. Nonetheless, I still had no idea at the time how I could help them.
It was to my greatest delight that I had stumbled upon studying Naturopathy whilst searching for a degree in health - and to this day, continue on my endeavour to become more knowledgeable for not only those around me, but to everyone I cross paths with.
My Approach - My knoweldge for you.
Patient Centred & Holistic
In all that I do with each and every individual, I ensure that the utmost respect is given by understanding each and everyones own necessity or needs.
Patient centred care for me, focuses on:
Listening to individuals requests and wants
Respect for patient preferences
Education as key long-term treatment
Emotional support & physical comfort
Involvment of family & friends
Transperancy & continuity; and lastly
Treating the whole patient, not just the disease.
Centred around ‘WFPB’ Lifestyle
Wondering what WFPB is?
Don’t look any further.
WFPB stands for, Whole Foods Plant-Based. A WFPB centered lifestyle is an approach that I encourage individuals to follow as best as they can.
It is a lifestyle of encouragement to understand that what the earth has provided us with, is what we can find to be of true power in supporting our health and wellbeing. A famous physician and farther of medicine once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” - Hippocrates.
