Preconception Health Care
Do you want to have a baby?
Do you any health issues bothering you?
Do you want to be as healthy as possible before conception?
Traditional medicines of China and India support what we are now realising: the health of a mother and father at the time of conception is vital to the health and wellness of the new child.
Cindi assists women at the beginning of their journey to motherhood when they have simply decided that they would like to start a family. Couples choosing this option for preparing their bodies for conception are making a firm commitment to better health for future generations.
Women present to Cindi up to twelve months before they want to conceive to get their health on track. This is an ideal time for Cindi to iron out any health concerns or unhealthy habits a woman may have. She can also provide health advice for fathers-to-be at this time. After all, a baby requires input from dads as well! Every one needs to be healthy!
Fertility Problems
Have you attempted to conceive for six months or more with no luck?
Are you considering seeing a fertility specialist?
Are you currently on fertility treatments from your specialist or IVF treatment?
One in Seven couples experience difficulties conceiving. This has traditionally been viewed as a female problem, but today up to 50% is due to a man’s reproductive health with low sperm count or sperm motility or other issues.
Deciding to have a child is an exciting time. This can be quickly dampened when a couple does not conceive as quickly as they had hoped. Cindi provides support to women/couples facing a challenge with conception. She works with a woman initially to pinpoint any health problems that may be causing infertility.
In many cases that Cindi works on with people trying to conceive with no success, the issues are quite simple to address and can include supporting hormone production as well as helping couples pinpoint the right time to try and conceive!

Common children’s health problems such as eczema, asthma, constipation, colic and recurrent colds can be very successfully treated by a Naturopath.
Cindi has recently helped a seven month old with severe eczema. In just one month it improved by 80%. She has also helped a mother solve her eight week old baby’s colic. Previously the baby cried for hours and with some advice and a safe effective herbal medicine the problem was solved.
Cindi is particularly interested in childhood asthma and eczema. From early childhood Cindi battled serious asthma. After being told by a specialist as a child she would always need to take medication she found her way to natural medicine. Just two years into her studies Cindi was able to drastically improve her own health reducing the need for medication.
Cindi believes modern medicine is life saving and has its place in health today however assists you in making changes to a child’s diet and lifestyle reducing the need for unnecessary antibiotics and drugs.
