Carolyn Simon, Naturopath

Hi I’m Carolyn Simon, a qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Craniosacral Therapist with over 20 years clinical experience. Living and working in Golden Bay (home of HealthPost) surrounded by our beautiful natural landscapes, I have daily reminders of the renewing and nourishing qualities of nature. I grew up in Auckland in an extended family that considered it normal practice to use natural remedies and consult natural therapists. The colour therapist, osteopath and naturopath were as familiar as the family GP, and tissue salts were the first thing my mum would reach for when anyone was unwell. After a few years travelling and exploring the world those early influences led me to the South Pacific College of Natural Therapies. I graduated in 1990 and was a founding member of the NZ Society of Naturopaths, visit their website at www.naturopath.org.nz. I subsequently did postgraduate studies in CranioSacral Therapy and you can find out more about my natural health practice on my website www.yourfloweressences.co.nz I am passionate about natural pathways to healing, and educating people to make wise and well-informed choices about their health. I’ve written articles on a range of health topics for the HealthPost website Library, a free information service available to all. Now I’m posting regular blogs here on health issues I think are important or topical, and I look forward to your responses – your questions, suggestions and comments are all welcome. Warm wishes, Carolyn
