I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Registered Nurse with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. My background spans both clinical and private practice settings, and I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to personalised nutrition care. I’m deeply passionate about the powerful role nutrition plays in our overall health and wellbeing — not just in preventing and managing chronic conditions, but also in supporting women through different stages of life. I love helping women understand and work with their bodies, whether they’re navigating hormonal changes, planning a family, or recovering postnatally. I also believe strongly in finding balance and enjoyment with food, without restriction or guilt. My areas of special interest include women’s health, fertility, family planning, preconception, pregnancy and postpartum care. I work with individuals and couples who are preparing for pregnancy, supporting the nutritional and lifestyle foundations that influence reproductive health and early development. I’m also the creator of the Fertility Foundations™ Method, a structured nutrition and lifestyle program designed to support the preconception window. The program focuses on strengthening the nutritional and metabolic foundations that support egg and sperm development, hormone signalling and the environment for early pregnancy. Alongside fertility care, I also support clients with chronic conditions such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I believe in meeting you where you are, and working together to create realistic, meaningful nutrition strategies that support your health and lifestyle.

I’ve always had a natural connection to the land and an interest in natural medicine from a young age. In my teenage years, I experienced ongoing health challenges and underwent extensive testing, but struggled to find answers. I often felt unheard and overlooked, even when working with trusted practitioners. This experience led me to explore alternative approaches more deeply. When I came across the idea of herbal medicine, something clicked. I felt drawn to understand the body on a deeper level and support others who may feel the same frustration. My goal is to help people feel seen, heard, and supported in their health journey.  My practice is centred on understanding the underlying drivers of your health concerns, by looking at the whole picture, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of traditional and evidence-based naturopathy to create practical treatment plans that are thoughtful, individualised and align with your life, to support lasting, realistic change. You’ll be listened to, supported, and guided with clarity every step of the way, so you can feel informed and confident in your health journey.

Hi — I’m Tara, a naturopath based in Yallingup, Western Australia, with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). I’ve always been passionate about health, wellness and the healing power of plants, and over the years I’ve lived and travelled in many places around the world. When I moved to Australia, it felt like I had come home — and here I found a way to combine my love of nature, curiosity about human biology, and desire to support others’ wellbeing. I specialise in integrative, whole-person care — blending nutrition, herbal medicine and, when helpful, functional testing (genetic, microbiome or hormone) — to support mental-health, hormonal, gut and overall wellness. A big focus of my work is with people in a 28-day rehabilitation program: clients navigating addiction recovery, trauma or complex mental-health challenges. I also welcome those seeking support for hormonal imbalance, gut health, lifestyle-related concerns, or simply a path toward better long-term wellbeing. For me, naturopathy is about more than treating symptoms — it’s about supporting the whole person: body, mind, environment and life context. I strive to create a compassionate, respectful and collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered. I aim to help you understand your body’s needs, gently restore balance, and guide you toward sustainable health over time. When I’m not working with clients, I’m raising my children, caring for our rural property (animals, garden, meal planning, household routines), and weaving nourishment and rhythm into everyday life. I believe the way we live — the food we eat, the spaces we inhabit, the routines we keep — is deeply tied to health. If you’re looking for a practitioner who values connection, gentleness, and holistic wellness — someone who sees you beyond the symptoms — I’d be honored to walk beside you on your healing journey.
