Welcome to Vitality & Wellness Centre in Alstonville, in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.
For more than 20 years, we have helped people make informed choices about their health through naturopathic consultations, quality natural health products and practical health information.
Our approach is centred around looking beyond individual symptoms and considering the broader factors that may be influencing a person’s health, including nutrition, digestion, lifestyle, stress and other underlying imbalances.
Alongside our clinic, the Vitality & Wellness website offers our own NatroVital range, selected practitioner brands, nutritional supplements and free health information to help people better understand and support their health.
Consultations with Greg Newson are available In-Clinic, by Telephone or FaceTime.
Meet Greg Newson
Naturopath, Western Herbalist and Nutritionist
Greg is a qualified Naturopath, Western Herbalist, Nutritionist and Remedial Massage Therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping people better understand their health and the factors that may be contributing to their symptoms.
His approach is practical and investigative. Rather than looking at a symptom in isolation, Greg considers areas such as digestion, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, pathology results and health history to help build a clearer picture of what may be going on.
Greg’s path into natural medicine was not the conventional one. He originally left school in Year 10 and completed an electrical apprenticeship, working as an electrician before a major event in his family changed the direction of his life.
In his mid-20s, Greg’s father was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. Wanting to understand whether there were other ways he could support his father, Greg began researching nutrition and natural medicine. Although it was too late to change the outcome for his father, the experience sparked an interest that eventually became a new career.
Greg went on to study Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine and Nutrition at Health Schools Australia and Charles Sturt University. What began as a search for answers became a lasting interest in understanding how the body works and how nutrition, herbal medicine and lifestyle can be used to support health.
Greg has always been passionate about helping people better understand their health and natural medicine. He believes that when people understand what may be contributing to their symptoms, they are in a much better position to make informed choices about their health. This is also why education has become such an important part of his work, both in clinic and through the health information he shares online.
Today, Greg divides his time between consulting with patients and developing the NatroVital range of herbal and nutritional products, drawing on the knowledge and experience gained through more than two decades in clinical practice.
Greg is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society.
Buddy - Greeter and Clinic Companion
Buddy may be a little older these days, and now blind and partly deaf, but his personality is still very much intact.
He still likes to greet patients when they arrive, have a quick sniff to work out who has come through the door, and then settle himself nearby — usually at someone’s feet during their consultation.
He still has plenty of energy for his age and certainly considers himself an important part of the clinic. Buddy is always happy to provide a little company, supervision and the occasional reminder that pats and treats are appreciated.
