I am a qualified Naturopath (BHSc) and the founder of Amerald Naturopathy. My approach to health is holistic, individualised and grounded in the understanding that the body is an interconnected system. Rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms, I look more deeply at the factors that may be contributing to a person’s health concerns, including nutrition, digestive function, hormones, nervous system health, immune function, lifestyle, environment and emotional wellbeing. I believe the body has an incredible innate capacity to heal, regulate and restore balance when it is given the right conditions and support. Sometimes, however, it needs a little extra guidance. My role is to help identify where support may be needed and work alongside my clients to create a realistic, personalised path forward. My practice combines traditional naturopathic principles and the healing properties of food, plants and natural medicines with current scientific research, pathology and functional testing where appropriate. Treatment may incorporate nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, nutraceuticals, dietary and lifestyle support, nervous system regulation and other complementary approaches. I am a mother of four and have always had a deep connection with nature, plants and natural healing. Even as a child, I was fascinated by the natural world and felt there was something incredibly powerful in the way plants, food and our environment interact with the human body. This connection ultimately led me to naturopathy and continues to influence the way I practise today. I work with people across all stages of life, from babies and children through adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy, postpartum and healthy ageing. I particularly enjoy working with complex or long-standing presentations where multiple systems may be involved, taking the time to explore the bigger picture rather than viewing symptoms in isolation. My areas of particular interest include brain and nervous system health, hormonal and endocrine health, digestive and microbiome health, immune health, allergies and intolerances, mental wellbeing, children’s health and supporting people experiencing complex or interconnected health concerns. I value an integrative approach to healthcare and believe naturopathic and conventional medicine can work alongside one another. Where additional investigation, diagnosis or care is required, I encourage collaboration with GPs, specialists and other appropriately qualified health professionals. Education is also an important part of my work. I want my clients to leave with a better understanding of their own bodies—not simply a list of things to take or avoid. My aim is to provide a supportive and nurturing space where clients feel heard, understood and empowered to take an active role in their health. Amerald Naturopathy offers naturopathic care for babies, children, adolescents and adults. Special interests include: • Babies, toddlers and children’s health • Adolescent health • Women’s health • Men’s health • Hormonal and endocrine health • Fertility and reproductive health • Pregnancy and postpartum support • Brain and nervous system health • Mental and emotional wellbeing • Digestive and microbiome health • Allergies, intolerances and histamine-related presentations • Immune health • Thyroid and autoimmune conditions • Metabolic health • Cardiovascular health • Skin, hair and nail health • Nutritional deficiencies • Detoxification and elimination support • Healthy ageing • Supportive care alongside complex and chronic health conditions • Complementary support during conventional cancer care

I support women in midlife experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, hormonal changes, digestive concerns, disrupted sleep and difficulty managing weight. I also work with metabolic health concerns and symptoms that remain difficult to explain—even when standard test results appear “normal”. My approach is investigative and personalised. I look at the connections across your symptoms, health history, digestion, hormones, metabolism, stress load, nutrition, lifestyle and genetic tendencies where relevant. The aim is to identify meaningful patterns, clarify your priorities and develop practical next steps suited to your individual needs. Every new client begins with a two-part Comprehensive Health Assessment. Your Health Story Consultation allows time to explore the wider picture, while your following Personalised Health Strategy Consultation brings the information together into clear priorities, initial recommendations and suitable care options. Further support may include a personalised Care Pathway, Continuing Care Consultations, nutrigenetic profiling or functional testing where clinically appropriate. I am a degree-qualified Clinical Naturopath, Fitgenes Certified Practitioner and GEMM-accredited clinician, with professional membership through ANTA. Consultations are provided online via Telehealth to women throughout Australia.

Nutritional Medicine is founded on the principle that nutrients, including essential micronutrients, are vital for the functioning of all the biochemical processes within our bodies. I like to focus on food as medicine first, alongside lifestyle choices and supplements only if required. When we are focussing on treating symptoms or diseases, we constantly search for any underlying causes, which can be genetic but are often related to nutritional, environmental and lifestyle factors. I like to focus on the mind, body and soul for optimal health. By focusing on each clients mind, body and soul, only then can we truely improve our health and wellbeing. I work with many health issues: Endometriosis - Founder of 'The Freedom From Endo Pain Process' - a 12 Week Program PCOS Menopause Heart health Sports Nutrition High cholesterol High blood pressure Diabetes Autoimmune diseases Digestive health Weight management Liver health Systemic inflammation Functional Blood Analysis NDIS support for plan or self managed funds I also offer Smart DNA testing and GUT microbiome testing.

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.
