Susan Toohey BHSc N.D.

My name is Susan Toohey and I have the privilege of working at the North Albury Herbal Centre. The Centre is a group of caring, compassionate people who believe in patient centred care.

I am a Naturopath with a Bachelor Degree in Health Science, and an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy. The modalities I practice include Iridology, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy and Massage with a focus on laboratory testing.

I have a passion for assisting people to improve their health and lifestyles. Being a mother, I particularly enjoy working with children as well as women's health issues.

I believe it is important to focus on the whole person, examining the phyiscal body through Iridology, symptomatology, history taking and diagnostic testing, as well as diet, lifestyle, exercise routines and nuturing a positive attitude to life.

As a Naturopath, I feel it is important to work together with the orthodox medical profession to give our clients the best of both worlds. To me, health is not an absence of disease, it is feeling great about life and the body you live it in, most of the time.

Nicole Heenan
For Nicole, the decision to study herbal medicine came from an interest in improving the health and well being of her horses. Then, having used herbs and foods as medicine for her animals and seeing the benefits of a more alternative approach to health care, it was a natural progression to complementary health care for people.

Nicole studied at Dorothy Hall's College of Herbal Medicine in Mittagong, NSW and completed her advanced diploma in 2003. Dorothy Halls Inspirational Teachings from Generations of Experience ( her Grandfather was a Government Botanist and her Mother an avid herbs grower ) have served to increase Nicole's desire to explore the uses of Natural therapies in health care and a healthy lifestyle.

Nicole is available for consultation at the Herbal Centre and is also pleased to provide Natural Health Care services for animals and particularly Equine Health Care.
