Dr. Paul Stevens
About
Paul is an experienced registered Medical Practitioner, a registered Naturopath with Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia and a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, a recognition of his experience and qualifications in a holistic approach to wellness. Following his medical training Paul completed a Naturopathic degree at Southern School of Natural Therapies in 2007 which opened his eyes to a more holistic functional and individualised approach to health, including the use of herbal medicine and the activation of each persons self healing capacities. Since this time he has gone on to study Yoga and Meditation practice and science extensively. Paul has been practicing medicine for 28 years and Integrative and Naturopathic medicine since 2007 and has worked as a Yoga and Meditation teacher, registered with Yoga Alliance and Meditation Australia respectively. Paul has also been employed as a teacher of Clinical medicine at both Victoria University and Think University and of Meditation Neuroscience at the Australian Yoga Academy. Paul's inspiration to practice and teach reflects his own journey on the path of self-empowerment and realisation from within a moving feeling human body, a journey of healing and living more fully from one's heart centre, drawing on evidence based modalities from the Mind-Body medicine field, western medicine, naturopathic medicine, and the contemplative and psychological sciences. Initial appointment times are typically an hour to focus on each client's individual needs, exploring what are often complex health matters, and ways in which a collaborative partnership toward self-determination and a 'growth mindset' in health and wellness can be created.
