The information provided on this website, through consultations, written protocols, educational resources, emails and any other materials produced by Viva Naturopathy is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
It is designed to support your understanding of health and wellbeing and should not be interpreted as medical advice or used as a substitute for the care of your GP, specialist or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

The Role of Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a complementary approach to health that aims to support the body’s natural ability to maintain and restore wellbeing through personalised nutrition, lifestyle guidance, herbal medicine and nutritional supplementation where appropriate.
The recommendations provided by Viva Naturopathy are intended to complement—not replace—conventional medical care.
If you are under the care of a doctor or other healthcare professional, you should continue to follow their advice and attend any recommended appointments, investigations or treatments.
No Medical Diagnosis
Viva Naturopathy does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe pharmaceutical medication, or provide emergency medical care.
Nothing on this website or discussed during a consultation should be interpreted as a medical diagnosis.
If you have concerns about your health, you should seek assessment from an appropriately qualified medical professional.
Medical Emergencies
Viva Naturopathy does not provide emergency medical advice.
If you experience symptoms that could represent a medical emergency — such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness, loss of consciousness, severe allergic reactions, or significant bleeding — contact your local emergency services or attend your nearest emergency department immediately.
If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please reach out for immediate support — contact your local emergency services, a crisis helpline, or someone you trust. You do not have to go through this alone.
Individual Results
Every person is different.
Recommendations are based on the information you provide, your health goals and the professional judgement of the practitioner at the time of consultation.
Because every individual responds differently, no specific outcome or improvement can be guaranteed.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete information regarding your health, medications, supplements and medical history.
Please inform Viva Naturopathy if your circumstances change, including new diagnoses, changes to medication, pregnancy or any other significant health developments.
Your health recommendations are most effective when based on complete and accurate information.
Medications
You should never stop, reduce or alter prescribed medication without first discussing this with the healthcare professional responsible for your care.
If you have questions regarding your medication, these should be directed to your prescribing clinician.
Supplements & Herbal Products
Natural does not always mean appropriate or risk-free.
Although care is taken to recommend products suitable for your individual circumstances, supplements and herbal medicines may interact with prescription medications, existing medical conditions or other supplements.
Always inform all of your healthcare providers about any supplements or herbal products you are taking.
If you experience any unexpected or adverse reaction after starting a recommendation, discontinue use where appropriate and seek medical advice.
