New Consultations at Dāha
I’m Catherine McMahon, a qualified clinical herbalist, functional medicine practitioner and naturopath, dedicated to helping you achieve vibrant health at every stage of your wellness journey. My passion lies in empowering people to not only get well, but stay well and age well, through personalised, science-backed approaches tailored specifically to their unique needs.
Functional medicine is a client-centred approach that looks at how different areas of the body are connected and how imbalances in one area can affect overall health. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. It draws on the latest research in nutritional science, lifestyle medicine, and personalised care to support your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
Herbal medicine is a natural approach to healing that uses the therapeutic properties of plants to support the body, restore balance, and promote long-term wellness. It’s estimated that around 80% of modern medications are derived from plant compounds. For example, aspirin comes from willow bark and digoxin from foxglove, demonstrating just how powerful and essential plant-based medicine has been, even in conventional healthcare. Herbs can be used to strengthen or modulate the immune system, calm the nervous system, support digestion, balance hormones, and more.
As a naturopath, I take a holistic view of health, considering the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that may be affecting your well-being. Naturopathy focuses on supporting the body’s own healing abilities through natural therapies such as nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle support, and stress reduction techniques. It’s about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and creating a personalised plan that works with your body, not against it.
Whether you’re currently facing health challenges, seeking to maintain your well-being, or looking to enhance your vitality and longevity, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. By addressing the root causes of imbalance and providing actionable, sustainable solutions, I help you create lasting wellness from the inside out. If you find yourself in any of these categories, struggling to get well, striving to stay well, or aiming to age well, I can help you achieve the vibrant health you deserve.
