I am a Naturopathic clinician and personal trainer based in Hervey Bay, with a special interest in helping women through their mature life stages to achieve optimal health. I have been in the Health and Wellness industry for the last nineteen years. I am passionate about what Naturopathy and Exercise can do to enable clients to improve their vitality and well-being. I have a previous background in Science and Education with a Bachelor of Science and a Postgraduate diploma in Secondary Science teaching specialising in Biology, Health, and Environmental studies. I have always had a fascination and respect for the natural world and our environment, and deeply believe in the interconnectedness of life and the healing power of nature. This, combined with a science-based background and years of training women to achieve physical health goals led naturally into studying for a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy. I provide holistic primary care medicine that blends traditional medicine with scientific advances and current research, guided by principles and philosophies that recognise the body's innate healing capacity, emphasise disease prevention, and encourage individual responsibility to obtain optimal health. I am excited to be able to combine and utilise my past experience and knowledge to help others find their optimal health and well-being.

Hi there, I’m Jade. I’m a mother, Nutritionist, yogi and founder of Nom Nom Nutrition, now living in Mordialloc, Victoria with my husband Jeremy and our gorgeous bubs, Tara and soon-to-be born baby boy. And I’m on a mission to inspire others to make health a priority in their lives. As a practicing Nutritionist, I have seen my patients lives change from adopting an holistic whole foods diet customised to their needs. We only need to look around our own neighbourhood to realise that chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer are reaching catastrophic proportions, and through nutritional science research, we can prove how much our modern-day dietary guidelines are to blame. I am honoured to have you join me here, to not only present you with the research but teach you the healing power of nutritional medicine. Whether you are looking to further your clinical knowledge or wanting to deepen your own health journey, remember this: food that heals comes out of the ground, off a tree, or from an animal — it is just about learning which foods are best for you!

When I began to study Naturopathy, it was to resolve my personal health challenges. I felt let down by the current medical model and lost in a plethora of information to get to the bottom of why I was feeling just terrible, despite being one of the ‘healthiest’ people I knew! I was unable to get the support I needed from our medical system, constrained by unrealistically short appointments and with no clearly diagnosed illness. Ultimately, I was compelled to look for answers elsewhere, finding them in the world of natural therapies and a wholistic approach. My commitment to all my patients is to make sure you get the support you need, to go beyond the surface level approach, understand the drivers behind your symptoms, and identify which changes can help you get back on top of your game Let’s make this life one of joy and resilience!
