I am 21 weeks pregnant and Sophie rescued me after a week of terrible back soreness. The relief was felt as I walked out but the nicest part is that she cares beyond the treatment and has sent valuable information to get me thru the next 19 weeks. I will definitely be back.

I went to Sophie for bloating and stomach issues. I had been suffering with these problems for about 4 years since the birth of my son. I had seen dr. after dr. after specialist with no answers, they all told me it was in my head. Sophie was so understanding and we got to the bottom of my problems. I no longer have bloating and server pain in the abdominal area and have since lost 20kg which I was unable to shift either. I would recommend her to all and do regularly. She is a beautiful soul and excellent at what she does. thank you Sophie.

I have been attending Equilibrium Natural Health regularly for the past two years for remedial massage and can highly recommend Sophie as a practitioner. Sophie is able to draw on her wealth of experience and knowledge to provide excellent advice and recommendations on any health concerns and issues. Sophie is exceptionally professional, caring and competent and adjusts therapy to her client's needs and requirements - whether it is a simple relaxation massage or addressing more complex health issues.

Sophie is the best naturopath I have ever consulted. She is so easy to talk with and so very sensible and realistic in... her approach. Her advice and treatment has made a huge difference to a chronic condition from which I have suffered for over 30 years. I really recommend her. Kath Newmanread more

Sophie started treating me last year, and I’ve never looked back! After suffering from repeated UTI’s for many years,... she made up a little miracle cure which knocked them on the head! And that’s just one reason why I keep going back! She is so connected with her calling that you feel very relieved to finally find someone that listens to you. I have IBS & severe gluten & dairy intolerances, so she has been an enormous help to me sorting out what I can & can’t eat! It’s no fun, believe me, when you can’t go out where you might be too far from the ladies room! And that’s not all, she has this marvellous machine called a PEMF, helps to relieve aches in the old body!If you are looking for an alternative to doctors’ attitudes & quick fixes??? I strongly suggest you look up Sophie! She is genuinely concerned with her clients’ health & well-being!��read more
