When it comes to health, there is a lot of information (and misinformation) that can be extremely difficult to navigate. I’m here to guide and support you to better health using evidence based nutritional medicine practices. I will look into your diet and lifestyle and use functional testing if necessary to come up with a plan to help you to become your healthiest you. My philosophy is food first, supplements second. Supplements are a really important tool to correct any deficiencies that are holding you back in your health goals. But often we tend to lean on supplements without correcting the reason why we were deficient in the first place. Nutritional deficiencies can lead to a whole range of serious health ailments and disease, including anxiety, depression, eczema, poor digestion and so much more. I can help you to: - lose weight - boost your immune system - have healthier skin - fine tune or completely overhaul your diet - reduce pain and inflammation - improve gut health - improve the overall health of you and your family - reduce stress and anxiety - balance hormones I love working with all ages and have a special interest in Gut Health and Paediatric Nutrition, including assisting with asthma and reactive airways, eczema, allergies and food intolerances. Appointments are available online or over the phone. After our consultation you will receive your personalised health plan via email including a prescription for any supplements and herbal medicines if needed.

Hi I’m Stephanie Malouf and I’m dedicated to helping people create healthy relationships with food in order to live a healthy and happy life. Whether it be after years of forming bad eating habits or establishing good ones early on in life. After healing my own body through diet and experiencing first hand the incredible healing powers of food, it wanted to educate others on how to do the same. This led me to completing a Bachelor of Health Science; Nutritional Medicine and setting up my own private practice. Having worked with hundreds of clients particularly with weight loss, I have come to understand there are two key parts to having a healthy relationship with food; education and a healthy relationship with yourself with a positive mindset. Food is one life’s greatest pleasures and whilst this can be a positive thing, it can also be used to fill a void and as a distraction from less pleasurable emotions. Your physical health is a direct reflection of how you think, feel and nourish yourself. I have undertaken further studies in the field of psychology in order to help my clients achieve a positive mindset, overcome limiting beliefs and break negative habits. This is often the missing link to an effective long term weight loss and health program and a key driver of stress and emotional eating as well as poor digestion, energy and chronic health issues.

My philosophy is simple: Nourishment can be achieved with ease and joy. Balance and flexibility are key to enjoying life's pleasures. As a nutritionist, I enjoy helping individuals reconnect with the pleasure of eating well and cultivating a healthy relationship with food. I approach disease prevention and management through a multidimensional lens, taking into account the whole individual—body, mind, and soul—to help you achieve optimal health and navigate chronic conditions with greater ease. I also apply the latest evidence-based nutritional medicine and scientific research to ensure a holistic, individualised, sustainable, and patient-centred approach. Areas of health that I would love to support you with: - Gastrointestinal Conditions: Irritable bowel syndromes (IBS) with symptoms such as bloating, reflux/ heartburn, indigestion, abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhoea, food allergies and intolerance. - Women’s Health Conditions: Premenstrual syndromes (PMS) such as painful periods, fatigue, breast soreness, hormonal acne; menstrual irregularities; fertility, preconception care, pregnancy care, and postnatal support. - Nervous & Endocrine System: low energy, chronic fatigue, stress management, anxiety disorder, depression and sleep disorders - Sustainable Weight Management: gentle and sustainable weight loss, liver support - Metabolic Syndrome: abnormal blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, insulin resistance - Immune Support: autoimmune conditions, low immunity, and frequent cold & flu Ready to nourish with ease and joy? Let's connect and start this journey together! I am here to listen, guide, and support you. Together, we will explore the foods, habits, and mindsets that bring you not just your health, but happiness and a new sense of freedom!

Over the years working as a pharmacist, I became increasingly aware of the heavy burden that preventable, lifestyle-related chronic conditions place on individuals. This experience led me to expand my understanding of health beyond prescriptions - completing a bachelor’s degree in naturopathy (with distinction), followed by further training in lifestyle and environmental medicine. Today, I integrate both pharmaceutical insight and holistic care to support clients as a natural medicine practitioner. My approach combines evidence-based tools like functional testing and detailed case reviews with a deep understanding of medication interactions, nutritional needs, and lifestyle factors. By identifying imbalances across medications, diet, habits, and health history, I develop personalised care plans - using herbs, nutraceuticals, and supportive education to help you feel more energised, resilient, and in control of your health. My clinical focus includes: • Metabolic health: support for cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, insulin resistance, and healthy body composition • Digestive health: addressing gut dysfunction and improving overall digestion • Fatigue and energy support • Women’s health: including vaginal microbiome balance, candida, BV, PCOS, endometriosis, hormone-related symptoms (PMS, PMDD), fertility, perimenopause, and menopause • Mental wellbeing: stress, anxiety, OCD, and sleep optimisation • Children’s health: supporting the growth and development of young minds and bodies • Integrative medication reviews: Minimising medicine-related nutritional deficiencies, side effects and making recommendations to your GP to safely get you off your medications. When we work together, you’ll not only receive a tailored health plan - you’ll gain clarity on what your body needs and why, so you can build long-term wellbeing with confidence and clarity.
