Hi There
Thanks for visiting Kültivar Naturopathy ;-)
I'm Ece (you can call me "Edge")!
About Me
I'm a nature, plant-based food and animal loving naturopath with a passion for health and wellness. I wasn't always this way though, living fast in a big city, not nurturing my body or mind, nor paying attention to any subtle cues that they were out of balance. This resulted in my own share of health concerns which I had to navigate. That all changed after relocating to acreage in the Gold Coast hinterland and adopting a slower-paced lifestyle closer to nature which gave me a new outlook and feeling of harmony. I felt revitalised and wanted to keep improving my health and wellbeing. Chronic health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hypothyroidism and cancer started to become prominent within my family and I wanted to be proactive about being the healthiest version of myself to mitigate being faced with similar future situations. After having worked for years in busy research laboratories and for scientific supply companies, I decided to pursue my new-found passion for health and all things natural and embarked on studies towards a degree in naturopathy and have not looked back since!
I understand that just like you, your body and its needs are unique. That's why I believe in collaborating with you to create an individualised health care plan that is going to fit in with your lifestyle. Your healing journey is personalised and tailored to your requirements, focused on repairing, managing, and revitalising your health.
If you are based in the Southern Downs region of Queensland, I offer in person consultations. If not, that is not a problem, as I also offer Telehealth appointments via Skype. Just select your preference via the bookings page.
I look forward to working in partnership with you on your wellness journey! :-)

What is Naturopathy and how can it help YOU?
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that places significance on the body's innate ability to heal itself and achieve equilibrium when provided with the right conditions. Naturopathy complements modern life, supporting your body to feel nourished and offering gentle changes that can bring about lasting and transformative results - it's not a quick fix or "pill for an ill" approach.
Current evidence-based science is used in conjunction with traditional wisdom to promote optimal health and vitality. Emphasis is placed on the importance of individualised care, considering factors such as diet, lifestyle, herbal and nutritional medicine, environment, and emotional well-being in treatment plans.
Naturopaths focus on treating the root cause of conditions rather than just managing symptoms, while recognising that physical, mental, and spiritual health are interconnected. Prevention, education, and empowerment are also promoted, encouraging you to take an active role in your own health and well-being.
By addressing the underlying imbalances and supporting the body's inherent healing mechanisms, naturopathy aims to bring out the best version of you!
