Let’s connect the dots together so you can start feeling like yourself again. The Balance – Energetic Healing Sessions Alongside her clinical naturopathic practice, Katie also offers The Balance, a gentle energetic healing session designed to help restore harmony within the body, mind, and nervous system. This work supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or energetically out of alignment and are seeking a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and flow in their lives. During a Balance session, muscle testing is used to identify energetic imbalances within the body’s meridian system. These imbalances are connected with sacred numerical patterns that reflect areas where energy may be blocked or out of balance. Once identified, specific energetic corrections are applied to help restore balance and support the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal. Clients lie comfortably on a treatment table while the balancing work is performed. Many people naturally enter a deeply relaxed or meditative state during this process. After a session, clients commonly report: • Deep nervous system relaxation • Emotional release or clarity • Improved focus and decision making • A sense of energetic lightness • Feeling that life begins to flow more easily Each Balance session works with what the body and energy system are ready to shift at that time. Sessions typically run for approximately 60 minutes. Distance (Surrogate) Balance Sessions For clients who are not local, The Balance can also be performed remotely using a surrogate session. In this process, another person acts as the physical body for muscle testing while the session is energetically tuned to the client. The balancing work is directed toward the client regardless of where they are located. Once your session is booked: You will receive a message when the session is about to begin. If possible, take this time to rest, relax, or meditate. The Balance session will be completed remotely. After the session, you will receive a message and a short follow-up summary. Many clients report experiencing similar shifts and relaxation with surrogate sessions as they do with in-person sessions. Suggested Starting Point For most people it is recommended to begin with two Balance sessions, with the second session occurring approximately one week after the first. This allows the body time to integrate the initial corrections and deepen the balancing process. Further sessions can then be scheduled depending on your goals and what arises during the work. Important Note The Balance is an energetic healing modality designed to support wellbeing and personal development. It is not intended to replace medical or psychological care where required.

BHSc Naturopath I’m a naturopath with a deeply holistic approach to health, focused on supporting the whole person rather than just individual symptoms. I work with a wide range of health concerns, with a particular interest in women’s health, fertility, and preconception care. My approach is shaped both by clinical experience and my own lived experience with chronic health conditions, which has given me a strong understanding of what it’s like to navigate ongoing health challenges. It’s something that’s made me especially passionate about creating care that feels realistic, supportive, and sustainable. I work collaboratively with my patients to help them better understand their health and feel empowered in their healing journey.

I’m a Naturopath and GAPS Practitioner with over 22 years of experience, specialising in gut health and its impact on the rest of the body — particularly skin health, food intolerances, and immune function. My interest in digestive health grew out of my own experience. I lived with long-term fatigue and health issues that worsened after the birth of my son. I was eventually diagnosed with autoimmune low thyroid function, linked to increased intestinal permeability (commonly referred to as "leaky gut"). I now support my digestion as part of managing my health — a challenge that’s given me firsthand insight into how difficult dietary changes can be in real life. Because of this, I go beyond identifying the underlying cause in my clinical work. I provide practical support — including recipes and strategies for gut health while managing food sensitivities. I aim to make dietary changes feel realistic and sustainable. I hold a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine), an Advanced Diploma of Health Science (Naturopathy), a Diploma of Health in Nutrition, a Diploma of Health in Herbal Medicine and I am a certified GAPS practitioner. Alongside clinic work, I’ve worked in the health food industry and have provided education to pharmacy assistants, fellow practitioners, and the general public across Australia.
