Introducing Melissa - The NaturalPath

I'm excited to introduce Melissa Tomlinson aka Melissa The Naturalpath, who graduated as a naturopath last year amongst all the Covid-19 disruption of 2020.

Here's Melissa's journey so far...

I'm Melissa, a qualified and registered Naturopath and the owner of Melissa The Natural Path, my new natural medicine business!

I have spent 10 yrs working and studying in every aspect of natural medicine possible. Naturopathy was a path that allowed me to learn medical biology and chemistry to understand the body and how conditions, natural medicines and pharmaceuticals work within the body. My studies and experience also includes nutrition, exercise, meditation, mental and emotion health as well as the more well known natural medicines such as herbs, massage, aromatherapy, homeopathy and bach flower remedies.

Naturopathy taught me how to analyse research, what physical tests to do and how to delve into the many natural medicines available to help to correct the imbalances that can contribute to health conditions.

After researching the four natural medicine colleges that were avaiable in New Zealand, I noticed each had the fundamentals of herbs, nutrition, massage and lifestyle but delved into different natural medicine subjects outside of those also. I did not want to miss out on any aspect so I commenced my studies in Napier at Lotus Holistic centre, where I studied different massage types including reflexology, deep tissue, pressure points, lymphatic drainage and relaxation.

I also studied at South Pacific College of Natural Medicine after this which allowed me to understand far more than I would in some subjects especially from a clinical aspect and I picked up some subjects that I did not have available to me at Lotus. During my second year of study I also started working in a health store which taught me so much and enabled me to utilise what I had learnt so far and also talk to me about all of the different supplements available in NZ.

I completed my natural medicine studies at the Naturopathic college of New Zealand.

I qualified in May 2020, feeling very confident from my variety of education and am now registered as a qualified Naturopath and am available to start seeing my own clients!

As your Naturopath my primary goal is to establish and maintain your optimum health and promote wellness. I will strive to increase your level of wellness regardless of your initial level. Your body has considerable healing powers and it is my role to facilitate this process. My studies have trained me to use in-depth questioning and physical assessments to seek the underlying causes of the physical symptoms.

My safe and very effective natural therapies recommendations are to balance your body, mind and spirit as you are an incredible whole being composed of a complex set of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social........

I am here to able you to understand your health and how to increase and maintain it. To empower and motivate you to adopt a healthy lifestyle and attitude to support health and prevent disease.
