Naturopathy integrates long-standing traditional systems of healing with the most current scientific advances in modern medicine. Treatment modalities used by naturopaths are natural and non-toxic and are designed to support and promote the body’s natural healing process.
Here at Avantir Wellness, our naturopath strives to help clients achieve better health by uniting the principles of naturopathy with functional medicine. Both systems stress the importance of addressing root causes rather than just treating symptoms. As such, here in the clinic, we employ an array of best-in-class functional tests to get to the root of your presenting concerns.
We are client-centred, putting you at the centre of the consultation and recognising your unique biochemical status as well as any nutritional, immunological, detoxification, endocrine and gastro-intestinal imbalances. We take the time to learn about you as a person – what your life is like and how this affects your current health picture and potential to achieve personal health and wellness goals. Apart from diet, we believe that lifestyle plays a big part in health. Beyond dietary modifications, our naturopath equips you with self-care techniques to address emotional and psychological health for long-term and sustained well-being.

The fundamental goal of naturopathic medicine is the pursuit of optimal health and not merely the treatment of disease once it arises. Naturopaths achieve this through disease prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease, and guiding the client to build a healthful lifestyle. Through education, naturopaths teach clients how to maintain optimal health and minimise the risk of disease to prevent future health issues.
For some clients, as part of your therapy action plan, it may be helpful for you to undergo nutritional and functional tests that may give helpful insight which forms part of your unique health picture. This is especially important when an issue is suspected from symptoms, but a test would allow a more confirmed position. This allows our naturopath to choose the most accurate way forward.
Avantir Wellness uses the most advanced and respected medical laboratories for analysis of body chemistry and function. These laboratories are headed by medical and nutritional research teams and used by nutritional therapists, medical physicians and other health practitioners. Our naturopath will interpret these results, apply them to your symptoms and provide appropriate dietary and lifestyle support as a result.
There is such a wide array of vitamin and mineral supplements available to the public that sometimes choosing the right ones can be a confusing process. Naturopaths are experts in the nutraceutical treatment of disease, so let us help you choose the best supplements for your health concerns. Supplements that are supplied by Avantir Wellness are of the highest quality and follow strict testing standards.
Your healing journey begins with you sharing your story on your physical condition and/or mental-emotional wellbeing, and a clear understanding of your health goals. To best serve our clients, we believe in being time-efficient. The process begins even before we meet. Consultation forms are filled with clarity in your own time and reviewed prior to your first visit; leaving us lots of time during the consultation to go through findings and Recommendations.
Your health history is thoroughly reviewed, and to guide us towards the best treatment options, we may recommend functional tests that can provide insight into your unique biochemistry.
Whilst important, standard blood tests don’t always detect subtle changes in the body before a full blown disease is identified. Functional tests are a proactive way to uncover any biochemical imbalances that are affecting your wellbeing, and help to drive treatment towards the real cause.
After extensive analysis of your health history and test results, our naturopath points out underlying imbalances and provides bespoke solutions for resolving them. Strategic health plan options and next steps which include dietary and lifestyle modifications are then discussed in detail so that you can choose one that you are comfortable with, ready for, and is in your best interest.
Naturopathy combines long-standing natural approaches with modern functional medicine, focusing on the root causes of how you feel rather than isolated symptoms. At Avantir the naturopath looks at your nutrition, lifestyle, sleep and stress together, often using functional tests to understand your individual picture. The aim is sustainable, everyday wellbeing, and it works alongside your doctor rather than replacing medical care.
Your naturopathy and functional-medicine sessions are led by Tiffany Wee, a certified clinical naturopath, nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner. She works in a client-centred way, taking time to understand your health history, lifestyle and goals before building a practical, personalised plan you can sustain. Her focus is supporting your body's own balance and addressing root causes, rather than looking at symptoms in isolation.
Many women come to naturopathy during perimenopause for support with things like energy, sleep, mood, brain fog and weight changes. Rather than targeting one symptom, the approach looks at the underlying drivers across nutrition, stress and lifestyle, and supports your body through a natural transition. It complements, and does not replace, your doctor's care, which matters especially if you are considering or using HRT.
Naturopathy at Avantir is designed to work alongside your medical care, not replace it. If you are using HRT or seeing a gynaecologist, that care continues, and the naturopath focuses on lifestyle, nutrition and root-cause support around it. It is always sensible to keep your doctor informed about any supplements or changes so your overall plan stays joined up.
Functional testing looks at how your body is actually working, across areas such as nutritional, hormonal, digestive and metabolic balance, rather than only diagnosing disease. At Avantir these tests help the naturopath understand the root of your concerns and tailor a plan to you. Your practitioner will explain which tests are relevant to your situation and what the results mean for your everyday wellbeing.
Avantir is a wellness clinic, not a spa. A first consultation is an in-depth conversation about your health history, lifestyle, diet and goals, sometimes alongside functional testing. From there your naturopath suggests a practical, personalised plan with realistic steps. It is a collaborative, ongoing approach focused on sustainable habits, and it works together with any medical care you receive.
