I'm a clinical nutritionist passionate about helping women break free from exhaustion, hormonal imbalances, and the stress of diet culture. I take a holistic, evidence-based approach that goes beyond just food - I focus on nervous system regulation, stress management, and lifestyle foundations to create sustainable, long-term health. I provide personalised support that meets each woman exactly where she is. My goal is to empower women to understand their bodies, make informed choices, and build lasting well-being - without guilt, restriction, or overwhelm. I don’t believe in quick fixes. I believe in real, sustainable health solutions that fit into your life - not the other way around.

My name is Mari, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Naturopathy from Endeavour College of Natural Health. Originally from Finland, I am also a qualified registered nurse, with a few years of experience working in the Emergency Department before settling in Australia. My background includes service as a nurse in the Finnish Defence Forces, along with a certification in sports massage. With over 10 years of experience in healthcare, I have developed strong practical skills and a deep understanding of patient care. While working within conventional medicine, I often encountered limitations that led me to seek a more comprehensive approach. Naturopathy has provided me with a deeper understanding of disease and the ability to support health through a truly holistic lens. Naturopathy is not only my profession but also my passion. I practise what I preach and am dedicated to empowering others through education. I believe in supporting people in taking an active role in their health—helping them understand their bodies, their needs, and how to achieve lasting well-being and prevent disease. My approach to care is holistic and individualised. I assess each person through detailed consultations, including symptoms, medical and family history, diet, lifestyle, and relevant pathology results. Where appropriate, I incorporate functional testing to identify the root causes of health concerns. From this, I create personalised treatment plans and provide ongoing support throughout the wellness journey. In practice, I utilise a combination of dietary and lifestyle modifications, herbal medicine, and nutritional support to restore balance to both body and mind. My approach is based on current scientific research, clinical experience, and traditional knowledge. My main areas of interest: - Digestive health: Gain relief from digestive issues such as reflux, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, dysbiosis, hemorrhoids, intolerances, IBS, IBD, parasites, SIBO… - Women's Wellness: Find balance and support for women's health concerns such as PMS, endometriosis, irregular, painful and heavy periods, hormonal changes, reoccurring UTI’s, thrush and BV, vaginal health and understanding your natural cycle from menarche to menopause - Nervous system regulation: Learn natural ways to regulate the nervous system, to soothe anxiety, reduce stress and improve sleep. - Gentle detoxification: Support your body's natural detox processes with gentle, effective naturopathic methods.

As a nutritionist, I provide a holistic approach to health by looking at more than just what foods you eat. Together, we will look at the quality of food, quantity, how you eat, when you eat, how your body absorbs nutrients, and how your body is functioning with those foods. It’s important to consider all these factors when trying to support your optimal health! In addition to this, nutritionists can also use functional testing to help gain a better understanding of your body and how to best nutritionally support it.
