Herbalist (BHSc) Gut, hormones, genetics, nutrigenomics, mental health, immune, skin. Functional testing & pathology analysis.

I’m a Clinical Nutritionist (BHSc) based in the western suburbs of Adelaide, accredited by the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA). I specialise in gut health, SIBO, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with a keen interest in healthy ageing, dementia, menopause, and chronic disease prevention. With a strong foundation in evidence-based medicine, I’m passionate about using food as medicine—working collaboratively with each individual to support their unique health needs. Based on thorough assessments, I develop personalised recommendations that include targeted diet and lifestyle modifications, as well as personalised supplement prescriptions, to improve health and reduce the symptoms of various health conditions. My approach is centred around practical tools like diet diaries, helping clients identify areas for change and form sustainable, health-promoting habits. I truly believe that the small habits we form today shape our long-term wellbeing. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or aiming to prevent one, I’m here to support your journey with compassionate, personalised care.

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 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 Smart DNA testing and GUT microbiome testing.
