Find a Practitioner

I'm a Queensland based Naturopath/Nutritionist (BHSc) & certified Women's Strength & Nutrition coach with a passion for perimenopause, metabolic health & sustainable weight loss. I specialise in women's health & perimenopause; I also work extensively with chronically stressed individuals who are finding gut, mental & cardiovascular health is beginning to suffer under the pressure. Conditions I regularly treat include: Weight management, menstrual cycle irregularities & perimenopause, gut issues (bloating, reflux, IBS, SIBO), anxiety & stress. During your initial consultation, a full health history & review of available pathology will be used to direct your individualised treatment plan & prescription. To assist your wellness journey, evidence based herbs, nutraceuticals, nutrition & lifestyle strategies are used; additional functional testing may also be used to assist in getting to the root cause of symptoms / diagnoses. It's time to put your health first...it's time to thrive.

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.

I have been practicing Naturopathy for more than 26 years and hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Complementary Medicine. I am passionate about treating patients using functional medicine and have a specific interest in womens health . Using evidence based approach the goal of functional medicine is to help prevent illness by taking care of imbalances early on. Using advanced pathology techniques we can find the underlying probelms and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. This testing examines digestion, gut, adrenal and hormonal imbalances and can include sophisticated urine, stool and saliva testing. Based on the findings lifestyle and dietary advice will be offered together with appropriate vitamin, mineral and herbal synergistic supplements.

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.
