Hi I’m Carolyn Simon, a qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Craniosacral Therapist with 24 years clinical experience. I live and work in rural Golden Bay at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. Surrounded by our beautiful natural landscapes, I have daily reminders of the renewing and nourishing qualities of nature. I grew up in an extended family that considered it normal practice to use natural remedies and consult natural therapists. The colour therapist, osteopath and naturopath were as familiar as the family doctor, and tissue salts were the first thing my mother would reach for when anyone was unwell. After a few years travelling and exploring the world those early influences led me to study natural therapies, and find my particular passion in craniosacral therapy. I've been in private practice since graduating and was a founding member of the NZ Society of Naturopaths. I combine naturopathic principles with flower essences and craniosacral therapy to provide a personalised, holistic and integrative approach to health and healing. I especially love craniosacral paediatric work for resolving birth trauma. I am passionate about natural pathways to healing, and educating people to make wise and well-informed choices about their health.
