Our Approach
Caring for the Whole Person
At Village Medicine in Brunswick Heads, we believe good healthcare starts with genuine connection. Our goal is simple: to listen, to understand, and to care for the whole person, not just the presenting complaint.
We combine the science of modern medicine and the wisdom of natural and lifestyle-based approaches with compassion and creativity, creating a balanced style of care that helps our patients achieve long-term wellness.
A Balanced Approach to Modern Medicine
We understand that every person’s health story is unique, as is their healing journey, and effective care requires both evidence and empathy. That’s why we integrate traditional and natural medicine, drawing from both disciplines to find what works best for each individual.
Our approach blends:
- Evidence-based general practice and preventive medicine
- Nutritional and environmental medicine
- Mind-body and lifestyle medicine
- Natural and allied health therapies where appropriate
By combining these perspectives, we support the whole person — encouraging healthy, low-toxin living, balanced nutrition, and mindful approaches to both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Meet Dr Cat Quinn
I’m Dr Cat Quinn, the principal General Practitioner at Village Medicine in Brunswick Heads. My background in both natural health and conventional medicine has shaped the way I practise - with a strong focus on integrative, evidence-informed care that treats the whole person.
My training across medicine, child and emergency care, nutrition, homeopathy, and remedial therapies allows me to combine the science of modern medicine with practical, natural, and lifestyle-based strategies. This approach helps uncover the underlying causes of illness and supports long-term health and wellbeing.
For me, good medicine is collaborative, built on listening, understanding, and empowering patients to take an active role in their care.
