MY JOURNEY INTO NATURAL HEALTH

Jemma Sommerville, Clinical Naturopath, Founder of JS Naturopathy.

BNHM Bachelor or Naturopathic and Herbal Medicine, & BSC Bachelor of Science & Physiology 

 

Hi, I’m Jemma 

My journey into Natural Health started after moving to Perth and being immersed in health and wellbeing; it wasn’t until a few years later that I started my personal journey with naturopathy, when I delved into a holistic approach to dealing with a range of concerning symptoms conventional medicine couldn’t solve for me.

It all began when I decided to come off the Oral Contraceptive Pill (OCP). I was suffering from skin pigmentation changes on my face and felt something wasn’t right. Although my period started back initially, not long after I moved to Sydney and it stopped again and at the same time I was hit with intense fatigue, hair loss, acne, and mood swings like I’d never experienced before.

Seeking answers and healing, I discovered a naturopath within walking distance from my new apartment and booked in. This started an amazing journey of healing, education and self-empowerment. It wasn’t a quick journey to get my period back, but it was one that inspired me to go deep and pursue studying naturopathy and also blessed me with two little girls further down the line.

Now settled back in New Zealand I started my degree training again In 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand, while juggling being a mum and falling pregnant again during. With this came some pretty huge highs and lows with the demands of study and just being a mum. And I can say I was not always easy, I have been through the exhaustion, fatigue, low mood, irritability, pain, muscle tension and everything else that comes with being a mum, while learning and experiencing naturopathic approaches to health. Through this journey I have learnt how to truly nourish and look after myself although in all honesty I am sure this will be a lifelong journey.

MY WORK AS A NATUROPATH

From my personal  experiences I know what it feels like to be confronted with fatigue, hormonal dysregulation and still need to just keep moving.

If you feel like this also let me support you through your health journey. 

As I now have the pleasure of assisting clients everyday move toward their own health goals. As a health advocate and educator, I combine current scientific evidence-based knowledge and research with traditional naturopathic knowledge to create personalised wellness plans. 

I approach health holistically using a combination of nutrition, lifestyle, herbal medicine and supplementation to treat the root cause of your symptoms. In an appointment you will gain tailored nutritional and lifestyle advice, with supportive herbal medicine and supplements specifically chosen for you. 

THE REST OF THE TIME

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll most likely find me at home in the garden with my family and tending to my veggie patch, curled up with a book, or in the kitchen preparing wholesome food for the family.  

I love sharing what I’m learning about, health inspiration, growing and cooking on my Instagram account.
