Bringing new life into the world is the biggest creative work of our lifetime. At WellNatal, we help you optimise your health and grow your family. We offer support across three significant seasons: PREPARATION & PRECONCEPTION CARE Preconception care is about “stacking the deck in your favour” for a healthier pregnancy, a well-nourished baby and a better postpartum experience. Optimising nutrition and overall health in both partners can have a lasting positive impact on the pregnancy and beyond. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - What should I do to be at my healthiest before conceiving? - Are there any natural ways to improve fertility? - How can I find out if I have nutrient deficiencies? - I have endometriosis, PCOS or amenorrhea, can nutrition help? - What should I do if I’ve stopped or want to stop contraception (e.g. “the pill”)? - I’m still exhausted from my last pregnancy, how can I revitalise my health before conceiving? - How can I decrease my risk of gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications? - Which blood tests or other testing should I do? - Which prenatal vitamin should I take? Key focus areas: - Optimising fertility - Improving egg & sperm quality - Identifying & treating nutrient deficiencies that could impact pregnancy & postpartum - Improving reproductive, menstrual & hormone health - Identifying & removing barriers to healthy conception - Improving metabolic health PREGNANCY CARE Pregnancy care naturally supports the mother’s physical changes during pregnancy, healthy foetal development and supports birth to postpartum. Unfortunately, much of the advice around pregnancy nutrition and lifestyle is outdated or incorrect. With specialist training in this area, we relieve the stress and overwhelm by giving you research-backed and holistic prenatal nutrition advice. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - Which foods are “safe” to eat in pregnancy? - Which foods should I eat for a healthy pregnancy? - How can I eat to support healthy growth of my baby? - How can I manage my blood sugar naturally? - How can I have more energy and less swelling? - Which prenatal vitamin should I be taking, if at all? - My iron supplement makes me constipated, what should I do? - Which kind of exercise is safe in pregnancy? - I’m having twins, how can I support my pregnancy? Key focus areas: - Emphasising intake of foods and nutrients that help grow a healthy baby - Minimising foods that impede a healthy pregnancy - Navigating pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue and swelling - Navigating food cravings and aversions - Managing gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications with a real food approach - Supporting multiples - Supporting appropriate exercise and movement - Treating iron deficiency and other nutrient deficiencies - Preparing for birth and postpartum planning POSTPARTUM CARE Postpartum care focuses on the mother’s (often-overlooked) recovery from birth and supports healthy, nutrient rich breastmilk to nourish and sustain the growing newborn. Compared to often rudimentary and short-lived conventional postpartum care, we support mother’s for as long as they need. Postpartum is forever and supporting the mother’s recovery can help prevent compounding health issues over multiple pregnancies. - What should I eat in postpartum if I am breastfeeding vs bottle feeding? - Why am I so hungry? - Does my diet affect my breast milk? - When should I get blood tests done? - I was told my blood test are “normal” but I don’t feel normal, what can I do? - How can I eat to support my energy and mood? - Can certain foods help my body recover from labour and birth? - Is my hair loss normal? - I think I might have post-natal depletion, what can I do? - How can I fix my iron deficiency? Key focus areas: - Nutritional support for breastfeeding - Supporting post-birth recovery and healing - Identifying and treating nutrient deficiencies - Supporting healthy hormones and reproductive function - Nervous system and energy support - “Post-natal depletion” treatment SERVICES 1:1 Consultations – online, Australia wide TESTING - Blood test/pathology scripts - DUTCH testing - Co-Biome GI mapping - Others as needed PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE Many providers offer rebates.

At Hawkes bay skin Clinic we take the time to understand the impact your skin condition is having on your physical and emotional wellbeing. With the use of natural clinically proven products, tailored specially for you. We will guide you to understand the triggers causing your skin condition and provide you with long term results. If you want to get to the root cause of your skin condition and are over using “band aid” and potentially harmful products, Hawkes bay Skin Clinic is here for you.

My approach to health is both science-informed and deeply human. I believe the body is intelligent, symptoms are messages, and true healing happens when we address the whole person. In clinic and online, I combine evidence-based naturopathic medicine with a grounded, holistic lens. That means looking at your nutrition, nervous system, hormones, digestion, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing as interconnected — because they are. I’m particularly passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels supportive rather than restrictive. Health shouldn’t feel overwhelming or rigid. It should feel sustainable, empowering, and aligned with your real life. My consultations are thorough and thoughtful. I take the time to deeply understand your story, your patterns, and your goals. From there, we create a personalised plan that may include targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, nutraceuticals and lifestyle strategies, — always tailored to you. Solara Holistic Health was created as a space where clinical knowledge meets warmth. A place where you feel heard, supported, and guided — not judged. Because healing isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about restoring balance and building resilience from the inside out — bringing warmth, clarity and light back to your health.

Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history which I take in the Initial (First) appointment (including medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results).

I also offer FREE email support in between consults for essential treatment plan or consult queries. I may recommend additional pathology laboratory testing (Conventional &/or Functional- Gut Microbiome, Genetics, hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) or sensitivities) to gather other health information. I may recommend supplements for extra health support (optional extra costs for supplements & functional lab tests). Therefore, for New Clients: 1. Book an INITIAL (First) consult (75 min or 90 mins) or COACH BUNDLE depending on individual circumstances. Or book a Discovery call to discuss which consult session is best for your circumstances. 2.
