Naturopathic Detective for Curious Cases & Mysterious Maladies

Amy Sumner, BHSc Naturopathy

Home: Welcome

The Holistic Health Detective

I'm a naturopath with a focus on cracking complex

medical cases. I work a little differently than

other practitioners. Rather than scrawling down your

prescription off the top of my head during a consultation,

I prefer to spend a lot of time outside of the appointment investigating, researching and piecing together your unique case.

​​​​

Over the past ten years of working one on one with my clients, I noticed a disturbing pattern. So often, clients would come to me after hitting a dead end in the medical system. Having already spent thousands of dollars on investigations, medications and specialist appointments, they ​would arrive in my practice wondering what it was all for. No answers, no improvements, no hope. In many cases their original condition had worsened and they were now also experiencing new health challenges caused by the medications or surgeries they had submitted to. Almost all of them were struggling mentally and emotionally from the toll of their enduring physical illness, exacerbated by the cruel dismissal of practitioners who ultimately declared their maladies to be imaginary. I was often surprised at how little testing had actually been undertaken before such heavy remedies were prescribed or bold statements inflicted. Many clients in this position told me they would refuse to go to the hospital even when it was needed, because of traumatic and neglectful experiences within the system and a fear of not being believed. 

​​​​

Health is holistic - as all of nature is. All of your body systems are connected. Every symptom is relevant. You cannot separate the body's systems or treat one organ and expect it to not have flow on effects to all others. A massive problem in the hospital system is that almost no one is looking at the client picture as a whole. It is absurd to view the body or a health case in such a fragmented way, when in truth your body is an intricately complex organism with each organ and system intertwined with all others. It is, then, unsurprising that people struggle to heal when there is often an enormous lack of understanding about what is causing the disease at a deep level.

​​

My role is to bring clarity to your unique situation and provide you with guidance on how to step towards true health. Despite my Bachelor of Health Science degree and a decade in practice, there are always going to be little mysteries and new discoveries buried within each case. I know a lot about health and healing, but if there's one thing I know for certain it is that there will always be more to learn. Some cases will light up my brain immediately with clear patterns and answers. Others will require burning the midnight oil to connect the dots. It is not possible to do justice to most chronic cases through on-the-spot prescribing. For this reason, I now take on limited clients at any one time and work on a retainer structure.

​​​

It's time for you to exit this frustrating maze. With a combination of detailed functional testing, research, an understanding of pharmaceutical effects and the ability to prescribe tailored herbal and nutritional remedies, I'm here to guide you towards a healthier, happier life.​​​​
