Discovering Naturopathy for Chronic Pain Relief in the Southern Highlands
After years of enduring chronic pain and heavy periods, I felt dismissed by traditional medical approaches that labeled my experiences as “normal.” This led to self-doubt and internal criticism, with thoughts like:

- “People think you’re unreliable.”
- “You’re not a good friend, mother, or partner.”
Everything changed when I met Sophie Gleitzman, a dedicated naturopath based in the Southern Highlands and recommended by practitioner Charlotte Pointeaux. From our first conversation, Sophie’s genuine curiosity and collaborative approach stood out. She didn’t just hear me; she listened.

Sophie’s approach was holistic, considering not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional and psychological aspects of my health. This comprehensive care made all the difference.
