Welcome to the Plymouth Naturopathic Clinic

Situated in a quiet part of Mannamead, in the ocean city of Plymouth, UK, the clinic offers a wide range of naturopathic and functional medicine services aimed at understanding you, getting to the root cause(s) and then promoting and supporting the healing process.

We do things differently when it comes to your health.

The cornerstone of treatments and care provided at the Plymouth Naturopathic Clinic are structural and functional medicine, naturopathic nutrition, guided detoxification and the rejuvenation of the human being, both physically and mentally.

Alongside the treatments the clinic offers an extensive range of clinical and functional testing and provides an in-house phlebotomy service making any testing, if required, efficient and convenient. We have a close working relationship with many other health providers in the area and will be happy to discuss any health condition you may be experiencing.

The Plymouth Naturopathic Clinic places particular emphasis on the design of a personal strategy, providing a professional and supportive relationship to encourage and inspire the development of independent and sustainable health. The journey should be both empowering and enjoyable.

Counselling

Counselling

There are times in all our lives when we need support and have a need to try and make sense of what’s happening and how we are feeling.

With an integrative and person centred approach, counselling with an experienced therapist, who can listening to your story and situation with compassion and understanding may well be able to make all the difference you need.  The counsellors and coaches we work with all have an in-depth knowledge of the importance of an integrative naturopathic approach to your mental and emotional wellness.

Massage

Therapeutic Sports Massage

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to promote relaxation.

The power of therapeutic massage, especially in our busy world, should never be underestimated.  A time to give something back to your hard working physical body; your life’s vehicle.

Retreat, Expedition and Held Experience support

A significant part of our work also involves providing bespoke naturopathic and functional medicine services to existing retreats, transformational expeditions and held experiences. This service is constructed either as a stand alone service or fully integrated and in conjunction with the providers and organisers of the program. The pre-support of the individual’s health enhances the experience of any personal journey of self-improvement or change. This  maximises the sustainable benefits of the personal exploration; in preparation, during, and in the reintegration time post retreat, held experience or transformational expedition.  The feedback we receive repeatedly expresses the benefits of this service to the individual and organisation. So if you are about to embark on a retreat or are the organiser of an expedition or retreat, working with individuals or corporate clients, please find out more by using the link below or contact us to discuss your unique requirements.

“I just wanted to express my appreciation of your service and as you reminded me I have been seeing you since October ’14, I have developed physically and mentally and as the sessions are of sufficient time there is always more we can express without having it (hence this email).  I will recommend your services to my yoga group and I feel that these go hand in hand and have helped me personally and would benefit others greatly.  Once again thank you so much for your help, you inspire, teach and as a woman you make me feel comfortable with the colonic treatment. I’m very happy to have met you.”
