Wynnum Newbies – Heidis Herbal Remedies

This is the first in a short series of articles introducing you to some of the new businesses that have chosen Wynnum central as their new home.

Our first newbie, Heidi Pamminger from Heidi’s Herbal Remedies, based in the arcade in Edith Street where With Relish cafe is, has in fact been based in Wynnum central for a while. You might not have noticed though, as Heidi’s Herbals is a little hidden away at the back of the arcade.

Heidi has worked in the natural health field for over 15 years, and is a qualified naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist, as well as holding a Bachelor of Business (which proved useful when she opened her very first healthfood store in Wynnum 14 years ago – maybe not such a newbie then!).

Heidi’s mother was very ill when she was a child, and after many visits to conventional doctors and hospitals, no improvement was in sight. It was a herbalist and mineral therapist who in the end, was able to help restore her mother’s health and from then on, her interest in natural therapies never waned and she went on to gain formal qualifications.

Heidis Herbal Remedies specialises in liquid herbal remedies, tailor made for each client. During a consultation, Heidi aims to gain an understanding of the emotional, mental and physical components involved in each case or condition.

She also gives nutritional and lifestyle advice to facilitate long term health and includes various flower essences to address the mental and emotional aspects involved. Vitamin and nutritional supplements may be offered if required.

Heidi’s regular clients include mums and their children (of all ages!) and families. The most common ailments she sees are digestion, sleep and nervous system disorders, such as depression, anxiety and learning difficulties. Long term healthy diet and wellness advice is also frequently sought. Lack of energy and stress are some more common problems people put a name to in consultation.

Heidis Herbal Remedies also have a remedial massage therapist and reflexologist to attend to muscular conditions, and stock Dr. Hauschka skin and body care products, plus, last but not least, the clinic has ISoft facilities, which allow health fund claims to be processed straightaway.
