PROVIDING NATURAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS
TO CLIENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Supporting you towards your best health, naturally
“I believe that for a 100 different cases of just one particular illness or disease, there are a 100
different nuanced pathways that have created the condition, no matter how
minutely different. This is because each person is unique and with a complex make-up.
My role is to navigate this unique landscape holistically and to empower you to be able to
make the best decisions for yourselves in the management of your health.”
welcome,
I’m Dr Menon
I’m a Naturopathic Physician licensed in the state of WA, USA, with a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University.
As a consultant & educator,
I see clients from all over the world
via tele-consults.
I’m here to support the synergetic balance of my clients’ mental, physical and emotional wellbeing needs through the integration of Naturopathic modalities, a detailed study of their history, and a tailored approach suited to their unique needs.
What I Do
Mental Health,
Mind-Body Medicine & Building Resilience
This is an area of specialisation and at the core of the work that I do. The Mind & Body are an interconnected unit with a bidirectional relationship: the mind influences the body and the body influences the mind. This bidirectional relationship can be utilised to bring about self-regulation and maximum recovery from mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, through a skills-based approach.
Learning these self-regulating skills is often the turning point for many of my clients.
Even if you do not have a mental health condition, learning Mind-Body skills that regulate your nervous system and deepen your sense of wellness will begin to build resilience within you such that you are not just coping with life, but discovering how to thrive through it!
Chronic / Complex Illness
If you are dealing with a chronic and/or complex condition and looking for natural solutions or a different approach, Naturopathic Medicine could provide you with what you need. The approach taken can help to lessen your symptoms, through the recommendation of herbs, supplements, dietary, nutritional & lifestyle approaches, whilst simultaneously working to discover the root cause of your condition, so that both symptoms as well as the root cause can be addressed.
Naturopathic Medicine also honours the vital force within you: that self-regulating, innate mechanism inbuilt in every human that brings your systems back into balance. Part of the role of a Naturopathic Doctor is to ascertain what is in the way of a person’s vitality and what can be done to bring that vitality to the forefront of their recovery process.
Preventative Care,
Acute Illness
& Immune Support
Preventative care & supporting your immunity is to approach your health from a place of proactivity vs reactivity. This approach can help you to prevent disease from even occurring vs treating it after it has manifested in you.
From supporting you in establishing certain core foundations for your health through diet and lifestyle (ranging from nutrition to natural detoxification to the prudent use of herbs/supplements) to creating a routine around your wellness that is in sync with nature & seasonal/climactic patterns PLUS knowing how to run regular labs and have them interpreted by a trained practitioner, I can support you in a plan for preventative care. Many practitioners wait till a patient is sick, such that a medication can be prescribed, but imagine what healthcare would look like if we approached health proactively?
