my philosophy
let me explain my approach and promises that I will make to you...
I will always strive to create a heartfelt connection with my patients - offering them a caring and nurturing wellness experience.
I believe in proven and tested therapeutic approaches, that have been researched and shown to provide positive health outcomes.
I utilise the appropriate pathological and functional testing through quality laboratories when it is going to provide valuable insights into my patients' health and direct the most beneficial treatment plan.
I value the collaboration between myself and other health professionals - I will always put my patients' health as the priority and will seek to find them the best treatment options.
I always keep up-to-date with the latest research so that the treatment approaches I offer my patients are current. I do not believe in relying on old methods - health is constantly changing and we are learning more and more about the best way to tackle various health conditions.
services i offer
I offer a comprehensive range of natural therapy services to ensure that I can provide you with the best personalised care and support.
All of my services are available via telehealth - online or over the phone.
naturopathic consults
This is where most people start.
The first time we meet, I will be gathering all the information we need about your current health symptoms and past medical history (including family history). Be prepared for us to talk about the nitty-gritty details of your health - including the necessary 'poop' talk. It is very possible that you have never had a health practitioner spend this much time going over as much as we will go over in our first hour together. It's vital that we do this so that I can successfully pull together these facts and direct you towards the best possible treatment approach. If I require more investigation to be done, then testing can be ordered - which could involve either blood, saliva, urine, or hair mineral analysis testing.
Consultation structure is:
Initial Consultation - 1 hour - $205
Extended Follow-Up Consultation - 45 mins - $155
Standard Follow-Up Consultation - 30 mins - $130

I am able to run a variety of pathology testing depending on your requirements.
The pathology labs I use are only the best - they meet a high standard.
The range of tests include, but are not limited to:
- Food intolerance testing
- Stool analysis - complete microbiome mapping for reflection of gut function, parasite detection and microbiome exploration
- Hormonal testing - including adrenal function screening and female/male hormonal profiles
- Blood testing - anything from Thyroid, Liver, Blood Sugar, Inflammation and Nutritional status
- Urine testing - including Iodine, metabolic testing, and comprehensive hormone investigation
- Biotoxin detection
botanical medicine
This is my craft…my ability to personalise and blend the perfect combination of liquid herbal extracts. These magical amber bottles provide a temporary home to traditional remedies that are endorsed by generations past – who used the powerful healing properties of each herb to end suffering and restore health.
The bespoke formulation of a liquid herbal tonic allows me to get personal and target the treatment right where it needs to be to get you results you desire.
Once I have listened to you, dived deep into your symptoms, foraged through your medical history and uncovered the drivers, I am then able to design the perfect fitting herbal concoction that is your very own – I don’t need to rely on products that have been made for the masses.
Quality is everything! Each bottle that sits on the shelves in my clinic contains a single extract of an herb that has been sourced and prepared using time tested, specialised processes to ensure that its therapeutic actions are preserved. This is vital to the success of the treatment.
NUTRITIONAL PRESCRIPTION
The way you eat will have a huge impact on your health. Being able to dive deep into the foods you are choosing and the way that they are impacting your body needs to be a personal prescription that is done with careful consideration.
Investigating and identifying any food triggers and adjusting the way you eat to encourage optimal health is a rewarding part of my practice.
Let food be thy medicine.
exercise & lifestyle coaching
I have over a decade of experience as a personal trainer and I continue to offer this support to my clients through the personalisation of exercise routines and advice on what movements are going to be best suited to their individual situation.
Exercise should be enjoyed and when you do it right, your body will thank you for it.
what is naturopathy?
Naturopathy is the combination of various 'Natural Health' modalities, that all aim to identify the true cause of a patient's ill health and facilitate healing by supporting the body's innate healing ability. By combining botanical medicine, nutritional science, and lifestyle strategies we can create optimal health and the prevention of disease.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A NATUROPATHIC CONSULT?
The first time we meet, I will be gathering all the information we need about your current health symptoms and past medical history (including family history). Be prepared for us to talk about the nitty-gritty details of your health - including the necessary 'poop' talk. It is very possible that you have never had a health practitioner spend this much time going over as much as we will go over in our first hour together. It's vital that we do this so that I can successfully pull together these facts and direct you towards the best possible treatment approach. If I require more investigation to be done, then testing can be ordered - which could involve either blood, saliva, urine, stool or hair mineral analysis testing. I also have the ability to carry out iridology and body sign diagnostics as necessary.
It is always valuable to come along to your first consult armed with any recent test results (generally from the last 12 months) and a record of your food choices (ideally the past 7-14 days) with any related symptoms - a template for recording this can be downloaded from the 'RESOURCES FOR YOU' section of this website.
