Empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. My approach is centred around the belief that health is for everyone, and I strive to provide real health solutions for real people.
As a naturopathic practitioner, Felicity Keir, BHSc, founded The Real Naturopath in 2019 with the goal of helping individuals restore the natural balance of their health. Naturopathy is a holistic approach that combines traditional remedies with evidence-based medicine and modern science. Felicity takes a comprehensive assessment of past and current symptoms to treat the root cause of illnesses, rather than just masking the symptoms. The treatments she offers are non-invasive, allowing the body to rectify the disturbance and tap into its innate healing capabilities.
In some cases, deeper investigation is necessary to uncover the underlying cause of a disease. The Real Naturopath utilises functional testing, which can be performed through a GP or requested through a functional pathology lab, to gain a clearer and more in-depth picture of an individual's specific needs. Tests commonly used by Felicity include pathology requests, heavy metals and mineral analysis (HTMA), stool analysis and microbiome mapping (Metabiome), omega 3 index, liver, hormone, neurotransmitter, and detoxification profiles (OAT), SIBO tests, allergy and sensitivity testing (IgG testing), and food compatibility testing (Hair 500).
Health, naturally, is the ultimate goal of The Real Naturopath. Felicity employs various modalities to treat the cause of imbalances and promote overall well-being. These modalities include diet and clinical nutrition, personal training and exercise, herbal medicine, flower essences, and lifestyle advice. Every patient is treated individually, as every case is unique.
Felicity believes in treating the root cause of illnesses and prioritises prevention over cure.
Felicity understands the challenges and pressures of living in a fast-paced world. She has firsthand experience with stress, obesity, and health concerns, and she recognises the issues and imbalances they can cause. Her journey to becoming a naturopath started in childhood, as she was exposed to essential oils and remedies through her mother, who was an aromatherapist. Felicity has over 10 years of experience as a personal trainer, having worked in multiple countries.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Health Science (Naturopathy) and is registered with the Australian Natural Therapist Association (ANTA). Her areas of expertise include sustainable and healthy fat loss, stress support, sleep quality, and gut and cardiovascular health.
The Real Naturopath takes a realistic approach to healing, recognising that a healthy balance does not necessarily mean sacrificing enjoyment in life. Felicity looks to nature for healing solutions, as she believes that treating symptoms only masks a deeper cause. Her passion lies in helping individuals regain control of their health and witnessing their transformation in areas such as fat loss, strength, and fitness. She finds great joy in guiding her clients towards achieving their goals and witnessing the rise in their self-confidence.
When working with clients, Felicity aims to not only provide treatment but also educate and empower them to make informed decisions about their health. Building a strong bond of trust is an essential part of her work, as she values the personal lives and stories of her clients. The Real Naturopath is dedicated to supporting individuals in living their best lives and becoming the best versions of themselves. While there is no magic pill, Felicity believes that with her guidance and direction, individuals can tap into their body's natural abilities to achieve optimal health.
