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.
