Maya -naturopathic practitioner

Hi, I’m Maya. I am a naturopath and researcher. 

My interest in medicine started at a young age. When I was 8 I was diagnosed with a heart condition, which led to my spending many hours in clinics, staring at 3D models of the heart, lungs and blood vessels. I was told I had to take antibiotics twice a day, every day, for the rest of my life. When I reached 18, I felt that I should stop.

My inner voice spoke, and I listened. I consulted my cardiologist, and was cleared to stop antibiotics on a trial basis. This trial period turned out okay, and I have been medication-free ever since. 

I suppose that then, at the age of 18, my curiosity about different ways of staying healthy was sparked. This curiosity has grown, leading me to 4 years of naturopathy study, two years studying to become a health Qi Gong instructor, countless courses, including a specialisation course in paediatric health, specialising in naturopathy for athletes, and completing an MSc in advanced complementary medicine, writing my dissertation on naturopathic interventions in the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

In practice my main focus is helping people in the management of metabolic syndrome, NAFLD, cardiovascular and other chronic and inflammatory conditions.

If there was such a thing as a Doctorate in Naturopathy – Maya would certainly qualify.
I look forward to working with you,
Maya Harish, ND, MSc ACM, mANP, mGNC
