Hello! Using dietary approaches, I improve the lives of Victorians living with chronic conditions and gut issues. I can help you find food freedom and relief from your symptoms by taking a personalised, root-cause approach to what you’re eating. I am particularly passionate about building long-term health habits to prevent illness and support you throughout your life. Having my own dietary restrictions and health issues, I know when a diet approach might be too overwhelming and harmful. That’s why my service is a blended, holistic approach in combination with supplements and lifestyle. I can help adults with: • Diagnosed gut conditions such as coeliac disease, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, fatty liver disease • Gut complaints despite normal tests • Nutrition on weight loss medications (e.g. Wegovy, Mounjaro) • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes • women’s health conditions such as PCOS/PMOS, menopause, endometriosis • cholesterol management • unintentional weight gain or loss • osteoporosis and osteopenia • long-term health management • nutrition in older adults • vegetarian and vegan nutrition • suspected or confirmed vitamin deficiencies Some things to keep in mind about my approach: • I might recommend over-the-counter or practitioner-only supplements to help with your condition or control your symptoms. However, I don't advocate for using supplements long-term unless you have a health condition/requirement which means you will require long-term therapy • I take into account drug-nutrient interactions with the medications and supplements you are taking • I consider vitamin/mineral deficiencies as possible causes for your symptoms. I might recommend blood tests to look for any suspected deficiencies, and to get these bulk-billed, you will need to request the tests from your GP • I DON'T take a non-diet approach for weight loss - I will recommend a specific eating plan or food swaps to create a calorie deficit • I DON'T recommend microbiome testing. Scientists don't know yet what a healthy standard microbiome looks like

If you are a human being, you stand on the shoulders of ancestors who used medicinal plants to heal. Herbal medicine has been used since the dawn of human time, not only to treat illnesses and ailments, but to build strength and resilience. It is not an abstract, woo-woo concept to 'believe' in or not. It's a firmament of human health on planet earth; a subject of powerful chemistry, sophisticated mechanisms of action and deep nutritional complexity. Our disconnection from using plants as medicine is a very recent phenomenon; a blip in the history of humanity. I've now been a herbalist for almost a quarter of a century, and I believe that a repair, and return to, this connection represents a vital missing link in the modern health crisis. Herbal medicine serves as both an alternative and a complement to orthodox modern medicine, for a host of conditions from acute to chronic, from straightforward to complex and multifaceted. The evidence-base for medicinal herbs grows ever more robust, and the world needs this modality more than ever before. My portfolio career in the vast field of herbal medicine and naturopathy has spanned almost 25 years, in many iterations; from clinical settings to walk-in apothecaries, from high level technical practitioner support to academic curriculum writing. For the last 13 years I have worked exclusively as a senior specialist writer and researcher, working with Australia's leading brands, organisations and practitioner cohorts in the herbal medicine space. During this time, I have been deeply immersed in the studies and literature, connecting the dots between tradition and science, theory and practice, while witnessing the ongoing power of plant medicine in my life and in the lives of those I love and care for. Herbal medicine is for everyone, all the time. In my observation, it works perhaps most powerfully for those who are standing at thresholds, paused at crossroads or moving through the transitions and changes of life. The medicines are there to soothe the brand-newness of the infant and wrangled nerves of the overwhelmed parent; the nervous, teary child; the confused, angry adolescent; the crisis of midlife and the frailty of age, the vulnerability of ill health and the hopefulness of recovery. Within the herbal apothecary sit companions and remedies for every stage of life, and assistants for every human experience. It's my job to do the matchmaking. My return to private practice answers a powerful call to bridge clinical research with traditional lore, translating scientific findings and ancient wisdom into the soul work of practical herbalism. Attending to patients again is a homecoming, and I look forward to introducing you to the plants.

Hi, I'm Gali, a Sydney-based Clinical Nutritionist. I believe that food is one of the most powerful forms of medicine. Every healing journey can be supported through evidence-based nutrition, personalised lifestyle interventions, and nutritional supplementation when required. During your initial consultation, I take a comprehensive approach to understanding your health. This includes reviewing your blood test results, medical history, family health history, current symptoms, dietary habits, lifestyle, and any medications or supplements you are taking or have taken in the past. Using this information, I develop an individualised nutrition and lifestyle plan designed to address the root causes of your health concerns, support your body's natural healing processes, and help you achieve your long-term health and wellbeing goals.
