Preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, treated as one journey.
Naturopathy is the practice of looking at the whole body when assessing health and treating illness, combining philosophy, principles and traditional knowledge with modern scientific evidence to foster health. Our naturopathic services are uniquely catered to support women through the critical phases of pre-conception, pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Our approach is centred around the intricate connections between a woman’s body, mind and environment. Recognising these stages as transformational, our naturopathic treatments are designed to support women through the natural physiological and emotional transitions of motherhood.
Our services are not just about treating conditions, they are focused on enhancing overall wellbeing, preparing the body for the journey of motherhood and ensuring a healthy environment for the developing baby. During postpartum, our naturopathy aims to support healing, replenish depleted nutrients and balance the emotional and hormonal changes that new mothers experience.
Individualised care for every trimester.
Our specialised naturopaths at Selph are experts in maternal health, offering personalised care plans that support women from pre-conception all the way through to the postpartum period. Understanding that each woman’s journey to motherhood is unique, we provide evidence based, individualised care to help facilitate your pregnancy based on each trimester that you are in.
Pre-Conception
We focus on educating the couple around their bodies, healthy nutrition and wellbeing. The female partner is taught about her menstrual cycle and fertility window, while the male partner learns about the role they play in conception success and the factors affecting sperm quality.
Pregnancy
We provide natural solutions to common pregnancy ailments like morning sickness, fatigue and back pain, while ensuring the mother receives adequate nutrition for fetal development. Our approach also includes strategies to manage emotional wellbeing and prepare the body for childbirth.
Postpartum
The postpartum period is a time of significant change. We help the new mum rebuild strength and vitality after childbirth, focusing on nutritional replenishment, advice for breastfeeding and natural treatments to balance hormones and support emotional health.
Additionally, our naturopaths individually tailor treatments from a preventative perspective to address symptoms before they become a health issue or condition. They can support you in your current diagnosis or health concern in conjunction with your primary health care provider, to manage unwanted side effects or optimise dietary and lifestyle considerations.
All treatments undertaken are evidence based and prescribed on the basis of pathology investigations, when required, and thorough consultations.
Thorough, collaborative and built around you.
Our initial consultations are thorough, encompassing a full review of health history, dietary habits, lifestyle and stress levels, all of which are crucial for understanding the unique challenges and needs of each woman.
We delve into various aspects of maternal health, including sleep patterns, mental and emotional wellbeing, physical activity and dietary habits. From this comprehensive assessment we create a collaborative plan that addresses immediate health concerns and sets the foundation for your long term wellbeing. This plan may include dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, herbal supplements and other natural therapies tailored to support maternal health.

Six principles anchor our approach.
Our approach to maternal health is anchored in key naturopathic principles.
We believe in the body’s inherent ability to heal and maintain health. Our role is to support and facilitate this process, particularly during the demanding stages of pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum.
We aim to uncover and address the underlying causes of any health concerns, rather than merely alleviating symptoms. This involves a thorough understanding of each woman’s health history and current lifestyle.
Our treatments are designed to be gentle, non-invasive and supportive, working in harmony with the body’s natural processes.
Empowering women with knowledge about their health and the changes they experience during these stages is a core aspect of our practice. We strive to educate and encourage women to take an active role in their health journey.
Our holistic approach considers the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of health, recognising the complex interplay of these factors in maternal wellbeing.
We focus on preventative care, offering treatments and advice that help avoid potential health issues related to mother and baby.
As with all treatments at Selph Health Studios, your naturopath will be able to see and discuss your past and current treatments with any other of the Selph practitioners you are being treated by. This ensures that your treatments and wellness plan are both cohesive and collaborative across all disciplines.
