About

Katie Davies 

BNatMed, NMHNZ

Katie Davies has a degree in Naturopathic Medicine and Herbal Medicine, a Diploma of Therapeutic Massage and over 18 years of experience working in the health industry in NZ and the USA. She is a registered member of the Naturopaths & Medical Herbalists Association (NMHNZ).

Katie is passionate about holistic health and helping people improve their health and vitality through dietary and lifestyle education, natural therapies and herbal medicine.

Katie has helped people with a wide range of health conditions and most commonly helps support people with digestive health, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, poor immune function, detoxification, hormone imbalance and nutrition. Katie believes it is important to nourish ourselves on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level to achieve ultimate health.

During an initial 60-90 minute naturopathic consultation, Katie will complete a comprehensive case take which investigates your health and medical history, current health concerns, all body systems, diet and lifestyle habits. She will then create an individualised treatment plan which may include herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, Bach flowers, nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, massage, hair testing to identify possible food and environmental sensitivities, or a referral for blood tests to assess hormonal imbalance, thyroid, liver function, and inflammatory markers.

Katie integrates functional testing and SCIO - Quantum Biofeedback Therapy when necessary to help provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cause of various conditions.  Each treatment plan is created specifically to suit the needs of each individual client.

Follow up appointments help provide ongoing support and assessment of the client as they make the recommended changes to improve their health and continue on their journey towards optimal health. 

Our clinic rooms are located behind Wild Herbs Shop and Dispensary at 775 Cameron Rd in Tauranga. The Wild Herbs dispensary stocks a wide range of herbal medicines, practitioner only supplements and loose-leaf herbal teas. 

Treatments

Naturopathy

Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. A Naturopath will take a full case history to try to identify the underlying root cause of a health problem rather than simply suppressing symptoms. A range of different healing modalities such as nutrition, herbal medicine, Bach flowers, nutritional supplements, massage therapy, as well as lifestyle changes and exercise, may be utilised to bring the body back to optimum health and wellness. A comprehensive treatment plan will be designed for each client that promotes healing of the whole person on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. We believe in educating and empowering clients to take responsibility for their own health.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today and is increasingly being validated by scientific investigation. Herbal medicine extracts the biological properties from a plant’s seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark or flowers. A mixture of herbs may be formulated to treat each individual’s needs. Herbal medicine may be used to support the treatment of a wide range of chronic and acute conditions including cardiovascular disease, prostate problems, depression, inflammation and a weakened immune system. Most herbal medicines are given in the form of a liquid tincture, but may also be prescribed as a herbal tea, tablet, or cream. Because herbal medicines work in a gentle and subtle way, they can take longer to work than orthodox drugs, but their effects are long lasting and there should be no side effects. Herbal Medicine is suitable for people of any age, including children, who respond especially well to the gentle actions of herbs.

SCIO - Quantum Biofeedback Therapy

The SCIO (Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations System) is a sophisticated electrophysiological biofeedback system which is designed for stress detection and stress reduction. The SCIO gathers bio-energetic information from the body through electrodes in head and limb straps to determine what energy imbalances are most affecting health, on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It measures the body’s subtle reactions to a database of approximately 12000 stimuli in electro-magnetic form. The different stimuli test emotional and mental stresses, nutritional needs, toxins, food sensitivities, digestive and elimination needs, allergens, virus, bacteria, parasites, hormones, organs, spine, muscles and more. Stress and imbalances in the body are detected and listed in order of the highest reaction to help the practitioner focus on the body's current specific needs.

Therapies are then given via the biofeedback principle to help balance the body and stimulate the body’s own ability to self-heal. Over 80 treatments are available to be delivered energetically. Available therapies include  locating and unblocking the flow of energy, zapping pathogens, stimulating repair processes, stimulating detoxification, desensitizing allergies, reducing stress, balancing emotions, balancing chakras and more.

The SCIO does NOT diagnose any clinical diseases.

Massage Therapy

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage helps the body unwind and reduces muscle tension. It assists general health and immune function, and reduces the effects of stress, anxiety and trauma. Pressure may be lighter or deeper and may be general or focused on particular muscle groups. Essential oils are used to promote healing and a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage uses various techniques and pressure to relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on specific problems. Massage techniques may include neuromuscular technique, trigger point therapy, sports or deep tissue massage. Increased pressure may be used to target deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia to help release chronic muscle tension.
