Merridy Casson has practised as a naturopath for 26 years. She consults from Anzac Highway Chiropractic, 589 South Road, Everard Park, and by phone and video anywhere in Australia.
Before naturopathy, Merridy spent 20 years teaching in secondary schools, mostly in country South Australia. Health had always been a strong interest, so she retrained and opened her practice in 2000.
First consultations run for an hour, so there is time to go through your full health history, symptoms, diet, sleep, stress and any test results. Merridy looks for what is driving your symptoms rather than treating each one on its own.
Treatment combines nutrition, herbal medicine, targeted supplements and practical lifestyle changes. Merridy has access to a wide range of pathology tests, but only recommends testing when it is needed, and she talks through the tests and their costs with you first. Follow-up appointments track your progress and adjust the plan as your health changes. She is happy to work alongside your GP or specialist.
Merridy sees clients for a wide range of concerns, with particular experience in:
“I have always enjoyed working with people, from young children to the elderly. I enjoy working as a detective to discover the causes and reasons why people present with various health conditions, and I enjoy the challenge of resolving these issues.”
After two decades in the classroom, becoming a naturopath was a natural next step.
Merridy grew up near the beach in Adelaide and still spends as much time there as she can, walking, swimming, surfing and fishing. Weight training is a priority, and so is a good thriller.
