Hi, I'm Zoe, a naturopath and herbalist who takes a compassionate, holistic approach to health. My aim is to help you restore balance and harmony in your body, mind and spirit, and to encompass all aspects of life where there may be imbalance. ​My focus is not just on symptom relief but on understanding the bigger picture, answering the questions, running the tests and most of all, educating my clients on what may benefit their bodies and often, how their bodies work. Always in collaboration with you. Often, recommendations will be herbal medicine, targeted natural supplements, and dietary and lifestyle adjustments to support the body’s innate ability to heal. Many times I will refer to other specialists for further support. My aim is to empower you and your own autonomy in your health journey. My biggest clinical passion is to support women through their changing cycles, particularly with hormone and cycle dysregulation, and preconception/pregnancy and post-partum journeys. Helping women understand the reasons for miscarriage and investigate for future success, whilst managing grief, is of particular interest to me. With that also comes supporting men or partners also in achieving the best outcomes of pregnancy and family planning. I have a strong focus on postpartum care, supporting women after childbirth in recovering their mental, physical and emotional health through optimising their nutrition, and healing the body with traditional herbal medicines. After struggling with multiple health issues throughout my life, including dysbiosis, food intolerances, fibromylagia, acne, menstrual irregularities, miscarriages, PMS, PMDD, iron deficiency and so much more. I found my journey of health firstly through food. I connected the dots of food triggers, with symptoms and changed my diet forever. I gradually learned to be more in tune with myself, and through Naturopathy, the impact that diet, stressors, exercise and our thoughts can have on our overall health. My greatest passion and past-time is growing medicinal plants and food, and teaching others how to do the same through workshops and talks. I am a grass roots herbalist, I encourage local foraging, sustainable herbalism, and community centric, hands-on, creative learning, sharing values and experience with others, like our ancestors did. I am an ally and supportive of the queer community and respect and welcome all individuals in my practice.

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.
