Optimise your Overall Health & Wellbeing
Experience simple, practical, realistic, high-quality, holistic treatment solutions unique to each individual.
About Me, Janaya
I am dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals of all ages dissatisfied with suboptimal health and wellbeing.
My goal is to help my clients overcome their individual obstacles and improve their overall health so that they can lead well, peaceful, fulfilling, and empowered lives.
I understand the importance of collaborating with my clients to create simple, practical, and realistic treatment strategies tailored to their individual needs. My approach is designed to help clients build resilience to stress, rather than adding to it, ensuring that each client feels understood and valued in their health journey.
I am a degree-qualified (with distinction) Naturopathic practitioner with a passion for helping others, mental wellness, OCD awareness and nature itself.
I am also a mother of two young children, and I struggled with OCD for two decades before finally receiving a diagnosis and pursuing treatment. In addition to conventional healthcare options, I integrated naturopathic practices into my routine, which provided me with holistic, natural solutions to manage my OCD and live a more peaceful, fulfilled, and empowered life free from my thoughts.
my Special interest areas
Mental Health & Neurodivergence
My personal journey of living undiagnosed with OCD for over 20 years, followed by an intensive year of treatment that included psychotherapy, medication, and naturopathy (the latter two of which I continue to use for managing my condition), sparked my deep interest in mental health and neurodivergence. This experience, combined with the knowledge I gained through my degree and ongoing education in this field, has fueled my passion for understanding various conditions affecting the mind, particularly:
- Anxiety
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
I have developed a keen interest in the commonalities between different mental health conditions and neurodiversity, both in their presentation and their underlying pathophysiology. Through further specialised training and clinical experience, I have honed my ability to identify possible contributors to these conditions' development, exacerbation, and perpetuation.
By examining an individual's personal and medical history and utilising pathology and functional testing, I strive to uncover the root causes and support my clients in their journey toward optimal health and wellbeing. My approach complements conventional healthcare practices, ensuring comprehensive care for each client.
Stress and Life Transitions
My personal journey—living undiagnosed with OCD for over 20 years, moving countries, changing careers, having children, and now approaching perimenopause—has made me intimately familiar with high-stress levels, even to the point of burnout. This firsthand experience, coupled with my continuing education, has highlighted the profound impact of long-term unmanaged stress on various health concerns, including its role in exacerbating and perpetuating my OCD.
Learning to effectively manage my stress, particularly during significant life transitions, has been transformative. This personal growth has fueled my passion for helping others understand the critical link between stress and overall health. My goal is to empower individuals with practical strategies to:
- Effectively manage stress levels
- Recover from burnout
- Navigate major life transitions
- Optimise overall health and wellbeing for themselves and their families
By combining my personal experiences with professional expertise, I offer a unique, empathetic approach to stress management and life transition support.
Understanding Naturopathy: A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Naturopathy is a unique healing system that prioritises overall wellness. By focusing on optimising one's overall health, this practice, guided by six key principles, (https://aanmc.org/6-principles/), aims to prevent the risk of disease and promote the body’s self-healing mechanism instead of curing individual symptoms.
Naturopathic practitioners thoroughly evaluate an individual's wellbeing by using their knowledge of pathophysiology, symptomatology, and traditional diagnostics, combined with all aspects of an individual's existence (diet, lifestyle, signs, symptoms, sleep, stress levels, family history, etc.). Naturopathic practice then works with the individual to optimise their diet and lifestyle, remove or correct any factors contributing to ill health, and provide them with personalised strategies such as herbal and/or nutritional supplementation and/or flower essences to improve and/or prevent against the development of conditions and ultimately improve their overall wellbeing.
Naturopathic modalities, which include diet and lifestyle recommendations, herbal and nutritional supplementation, and flower essences, are based on a combination of traditional knowledge used for generations, scientific evidence, and clinical experience.
