Root-cause natural medicine — reconnecting your body with its innate power to heal
Naturopathy works with your body rather than against it — using nutrition, herbal remedies, lifestyle shifts and mind-body support to address the root causes of ill-health. Rather than chasing symptoms, we ask a deeper question: why is this happening in the first place?
Naturopathy is a holistic system of natural medicine grounded in the belief that the body has an extraordinary, inherent capacity to heal itself — when given the right conditions. It draws on traditional healing wisdom combined with modern nutritional and functional health sciences.
As a qualified naturopath, Colin doesn't simply treat diseases — he works to understand you. Your digestion, your sleep, your stress, your environment, your nutrition, your emotions and your history all weave together to create the health picture you experience today. Naturopathy untangles that picture and restores balance at its source.
"Rather than chasing symptoms, naturopathy asks a deeper question — why is this happening in the first place? From there, we build a bespoke plan designed around your unique biology, history and goals."
— Colin Solomon, Create Your Wellness
Gentle, non-invasive approaches that support the body without causing side effects — always choosing the least harmful path first.
Trusting and supporting the body's self-healing intelligence. The body wants to heal — our role is to support, not override.
Identifying and addressing why illness arises — not just silencing symptoms. Understanding the source, not masking the signal.
Body, mind, emotions and environment — because nothing exists in isolation. You are one interconnected system.
Empowering long-term health, not just responding to crisis. Building resilience before illness takes hold.
Educating and empowering you to take the lead in your own wellbeing — knowledge as the most lasting medicine.
Depending on your needs, your naturopathic programme may include any combination of the following.
Whole-food, evidence-informed nutrition tailored to your body, your cycle, your gut and your goals. We work with real food — not gimmicks — to rebuild vitality from the inside out. No extreme restriction, no quick-fix diets. Just a sustainable relationship with food that nourishes every level of you.
Carefully selected herbal remedies that gently support your body's systems — from adaptogens for stress to digestive bitters, hormone-balancing herbs and immune tonics. Plants have been our oldest allies in healing. Every formula is matched to your constitution and specific needs.
Sleep, movement, stress regulation, sunlight, connection — the daily rhythms that profoundly shape your health. These aren't soft extras; they're the deepest levers of your health. Small, sustainable shifts that compound into lasting change over time.
The gut is the cornerstone of health — increasingly called the body's "second brain." Your digestive system influences immunity, mood, hormones, skin, energy, weight and inflammation. Together we'll rebuild digestive function, microbial balance and the gut–brain and gut–hormone connections that underpin vitality.
Gentle, intelligent support for the body's natural detox pathways — liver, kidneys, lymph and more. No extreme cleanses, just deep, sustainable restoration that supports what your body is already trying to do beautifully.
Recognising that stress, trauma and emotion directly shape physical health. We'll weave in breathwork, nervous system support and mindset tools where appropriate — because your nervous system runs the show.
Particularly with chronic, complex or 'vague' conditions that seem to have no clear answer. Clients commonly come for support with:
Please note: naturopathy complements — but does not replace — conventional medical care. Always continue with any prescribed treatments and consult your GP for diagnosis.
We'll explore your full health history, current concerns, lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress, environment and emotional wellbeing — the whole picture. This deep listening is the foundation of truly personalised care. If relevant, Colin may recommend specific functional tests — comprehensive gut testing, hormone profiles, or nutrient analysis.
From that consultation, Colin will build a plan tailored precisely to you. This may include specific nutrition guidance, herbal formulas, targeted supplements, lifestyle adjustments and supportive practices. Everything is explained clearly so you understand why each part matters.
Naturopathy works in phases. Follow-ups refine your plan as your body responds, unpick any sticking points, and gradually move you toward full vitality. Most clients find they need less support over time as their body regains its natural balance.
Naturopathy is a partnership — Colin will guide, but you'll be the one living and shaping your transformation. Many clients continue with occasional sessions as a long-term wellbeing anchor — a trusted partnership as health and life evolve.
With over 17 years of experience as a holistic health practitioner, Colin brings together a rare breadth of disciplines — naturopathy, acupuncture, sports therapy, aesthetics and coaching — to support the whole person.
His own journey into naturopathy was born out of necessity. After a personal health crisis, he experienced first-hand the limits of conventional approaches — and the extraordinary power of the body to heal when properly supported. That lived experience shapes everything he does today.
"When you work with me, you're in the hands of someone who understands healing from the inside out — not just theory, but real, embodied transformation."

Naturopathy is a system of natural medicine that works with the body's innate ability to heal itself. It uses nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle interventions and other natural therapies to address the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms.
A GP focuses primarily on diagnosing and treating disease, often with medication. A nutritionist focuses mainly on diet. A naturopath takes a whole-person view — combining nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle and mind-body approaches to address the underlying causes of ill-health and support long-term wellbeing.
No. Naturopathy works alongside conventional medical care. Always continue any prescribed medication and speak with your GP before making changes. Colin tailors natural interventions to work safely with your existing treatment.
Some clients notice changes within a few weeks, particularly with digestion, energy or sleep. Chronic or complex conditions often benefit from 3–6 months of consistent support. Naturopathy works with your body's natural pace of healing.
No — sustainable change comes from realistic adjustments, not extreme overhauls. Colin will build a plan that respects your lifestyle, tastes and budget, introducing changes gradually so they become a natural part of how you live.
Absolutely — in fact, many clients do. Naturopathy addresses the biochemical and physiological layers, acupuncture supports energetic balance, and coaching helps embed sustainable lifestyle change. Together they create a powerful integrated approach.
Sometimes, but not always. Targeted, high-quality supplements and herbs are used only when they'll genuinely support your progress — and always with a plan to reduce reliance over time. The foundation is always food and lifestyle.
Yes — when practised by a qualified naturopath. Natural remedies are chosen carefully to suit your individual constitution, and Colin always considers any medications or health conditions to ensure recommendations are safe for you.
