Peter Farnsworth ND
Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist
A few words about me
I have 35 years of experience in the Health industry as a Herbal Medicine and Nutrition specialist and have lectured for the Natural Health Academy. I bring a combined approach to healing with modern science blended with Traditional healing, which will bring you the best outcomes.
I am registered with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS registration 0025)
I hold several accredited qualifications:
- Nationally recognised Advanced Diplomas in Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine and Nutrition
- Nationally recognised Diplomas in Remedial Massage and Reflexology
What makes me different is that I have been practising Herbal Medicine and Nutrition for many years and incorporating functional assessments like medical pulse diagnosis. This will give you a real-time diagnosis of what is happening in your body and the likely therapy that will help. I see many clients who have seen Doctors or other naturopaths who want a second opinion. With Functional assessment, I can provide different insights into the nature of your health issue and help refine existing treatment plans.
I work with my wife, Patricia Farnsworth, a registered Craniosacral Therapist at the clinic.
My interests include Meditation, Yoga and Ayurvedic cooking.
