Iridology & Terrain Mapping
Iridology and terrain mapping offer a way of understanding health that looks beneath symptoms and diagnoses, toward the conditions in which illness arises — and healing becomes possible.
This is not about prediction or labelling. It is about recognising patterns, capacity and direction.
What is iridology?
Iridology is the study of the iris — the coloured part of the eye — as a reflection of constitutional strengths, susceptibilities and long-term stress patterns within the body.
Each iris is as unique as a fingerprint. It does not show disease, but it can reveal:
Areas of resilience and inherited vitality
Where the body tends to hold stress or inflammation
Patterns relating to digestion, elimination, liver function, immunity and the nervous system
How life experiences and emotional load may be imprinting on the body over time
Iridology gives us a map, not a verdict — helping us understand how your system responds, rather than focusing only on what is going wrong.
What do we mean by “terrain”?
Terrain refers to the internal environment of the body — the soil in which health or illness develops.
Rather than asking “What is the diagnosis?”, terrain mapping asks:
Is the system depleted or over-stimulated?
Hot, cold, dry or congested?
Reactive or sluggish?
Resilient, or running on empty?
By understanding terrain, we can make sense of why certain symptoms keep repeating, why some treatments haven’t helped, and what your body actually needs in order to repair.
Why combine iridology and terrain mapping?
Together, they allow us to:
See the long view of your health, not just the current flare
Distinguish between root causes and secondary symptoms
Work with your constitution rather than against it
Choose herbal and lifestyle support that your system can tolerate and respond to
This approach is especially helpful for people with complex, long-standing or “unexplained” symptoms — and for those who sense their health story is bigger than a single label.
What happens in an iridology & terrain session?
During your consultation:
We take high-quality images of the irises
I explain what I see in clear, grounded language
We explore how these patterns connect with your symptoms, history and current life pressures
We identify healing priorities — not everything at once, but what matters most now
After your session, you receive:
A detailed written report explaining your constitution and terrain
Clear insights into physical and emotional patterns
Practical guidance to support recovery
Optional personalised herbal recommendations
Nothing is rushed. Questions are welcome. Understanding is part of the medicine.
What this approach is — and isn’t
It is:
Observational and interpretive
Constitution-led and preventative
Supportive of medical care, not opposed to it
Grounded in herbal tradition, modern insight and clinical experience
It is not:
Diagnostic in a medical sense
Predictive or deterministic
A substitute for medical investigation when needed
Who this is particularly helpful for
People with ongoing digestive, skin, immune or inflammatory issues
Those who feel sensitive, reactive or easily overwhelmed by supplements or stress
People recovering from illness, burnout, surgery or emotional strain
Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of their body’s patterns and capacity
Working with this information
Iridology and terrain mapping can be a standalone insight session, or the foundation for longer-term herbal support through The Deep Reset or Annual Plan.
