“My ultimate goal is to empower people, to put responsibility for their health into their own hands. By providing the necessary tools, knowledge and support in the clinic, I believe my clients can continue to maintain optimum health” – Rita Tarvydaite
Rita's main focus is on supporting people through personalised Western herbal medicine, diet/nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine testing. Additionally, Rita utilises concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurvedic medicine, to provide an all encompassing and individually tailored naturopathic health plan to each of her clients.

​
As a holistic approach is taken with each client Rita works with, most health conditions can be supported or addressed.
In taking the approach that the person be treated, rather than the condition, Rita highlights the most significant aspect of holistic herbal medicine & naturopathy; it is important to understand that every individual is different, therefore no condition is the same, and therefore there are different reasons why certain ailments might affect us. Therefore, a personalised and bespoke approach is used for each client.​​​​​​​​​​​
