BROOKE KLOWER
Brooke Klower is the owner and a naturopathic practitioner at Balanced Beings. Brooke started Balanced Beings when a large gap was seen among the lack of natural treatments and practitioners treating pediatrics and mothers. Brooke Klower is a naturopath but first and foremost a mother. Through her own health journey and her children's she realised more holistic options need to be available to mothers.
What Brooke treats
Brooke has special interests in an array of paediatric conditions from autism spectrum disorder, histamine intolerance, pyrrole's disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder to food intolerances, eczema, colic, reflux, diarrhoea, nutritional deficiency's, constipation, vaccination support, sleep issues and eating support.
Brooke Klower also understands that the health of children starts from breastfeeding, postpartum, preconception and pregnancy and therefore she loves focusing on this area. Brooke also commonly sees sexual health and women's conditions such as thrush, urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, erectile dysfunction, herpes simplex, HPV, infertility, libido, hormonal irregularities, amenorrhea, endometriosis and PCOS.
Brooke uses naturopath tools such as client education, nutrition and nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, hydrotherapy and flower essences within treatments.

More about Laura
Favourite herb: chamomile, my forever favourite. One to soothe the nervous and the digestive systems – two of my favourite areas to treat. Children are also highly receptive to treatment with chamomile.
favourite nutrient: magnesium. Again, another great one for the nervous system, as magnesium will often become depleted in individuals under chronic stress and is commonly deficient in those with anxiety and adrenal fatigue. Magnesium can also be used to relieve muscle cramps and tension headaches. It is a fantastic nutrient that is also beneficial in treating PMS and painful periods. The list goes on!
favourite food: Dark Chocolate. A soul food that also has shown some therapeutic benefits. Good quality dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids which are antioxidants. Studies have shown moderate consumption can help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. It is also a source of my favourite nutrient Magnesium!
