"The body is innately designed to heal itself. Naturopathy can help this happen. I’ve seen it in myself, I’ve seen it in my clients, and I want you to see it in yourself.”
What I believe
Like you, I’ve had my share of hormonal health challenges (which is a polite way of saying I’ve been through hell, too).
I’ve also experienced firsthand how naturopathy can help heal.
I’ve made it my mission to break down the barriers around hormone and vulvo-vaginal health. I’m passionate about helping women be in tune with their bodies; to understand the benefits of their hormones, and to love their menstrual cycles. Yes, it is possible!
As a qualified practitioner, I combine clinical research with traditional naturopathic principles to help you nail those hormonal issues. For good.
This may mean diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, mind-body care - or a combination of things.
Every woman is unique, and every woman needs a personalised, practical treatment plan that works.
Together, we’ll figure out what’s going on with your hormones and how you can feel happy and healthy - just like you deserve to be.

My story
From adolescence, I hated my period and my hormones. I experienced painful and heavy periods, painful bowel movements, and bloating. In my 30's, after multiple misdiagnoses, infertility, and generally being dismissed, I fought for answers. I was diagnosed with endometriosis.
My personal health journey led me to holistic medicine and sparked my passion for naturopathy. I’ve since learned to appreciate my menstrual cycle and the innate wisdom of my body, and I’ve turned my experience into something that can help other women.
I'm now an advocate for women's health, the benefits of hormones, natural menstrual cycles, and period education.
The fun stuff
I'm wife to Leigh, a dog mum, avid traveller, ocean lover, book-worm, foodie, nutrition and health nerd, and self-proclaimed period queen.
My values
An integrative
approach
I consciously combine traditional naturopathic principles with the latest clinical research and functional testing.
Practical and considered
I take a unique approach to every client because personalised, practical, and realistic plans create sustainable results.
Educate to empower
Long-term results come from empowering women with knowledge so they are the expert of their own body.
A holistic, personalised, evidence-based approach that achieves results
Initial online consultation and plan.
We begin by exploring your whole health and reviewing recent test results. I dig deep into your situation and make realistic and achievable recommendations that you can start right away.
Apply naturopathic remedies and lifestyle changes.
After the initial consultation you'll have a detailed treatment plan for diet and lifestyle changes, a prescription for naturopathic supplements, and potentially a referral for further testing.
Follow-up review and holistic plan for ongoing treatment.
After 3-4 weeks we will meet again to talk about these first steps, review any test results, and discuss your ongoing goals. By this time we will have a good idea of how long it will take to see results.

What to expect in a consultation
The first step
When you book a consultation, I’ll send you some preliminary health assessment forms to complete. You’ll send these back to me before our first meeting, along with the results of any recent medical tests. This provides me with a basic understanding of your health.
The initial consultation $249 AUD (1 hour)
This is where we dig deep into every aspect of your health. We’ll talk about your diet, your menstrual cycle, digestive health, immune function, mental health, medications - everything. The more detail, the better: this allows me to make realistic, achievable recommendations.
Right away, we’ll begin creating a detailed plan that works for you. You'll leave the appointment with some nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to get started on.
Initial consultation includes:
- Complete health assessment
- Detailed personalised treatment plan
- Functional testing recommendations if necessary*
- Prescription of nutritional, herbal and therapeutic supplements*
Follow-up consultation $129 AUD (30 to 40 minutes)
Depending on your circumstances two to four weeks later, we will meet for your first follow-up consultation.
By now, you will have implemented some of the diet and lifestyle changes and started on naturopathic supplements. We’ll have the results from any pathological tests I’ve recommended, so we’ll discuss those and your progress so far.
We may need to adjust your prescription, set new goals for your treatment, and schedule future appointments. I’ll also give you an idea of how long it will take to see results.
Follow-ups may include:
- Reviewing or modifying the next stage of your plan
- Motivational coaching and education
- Adjust or repeat prescription of supplements
- Implementing your next goals
I generally recommend at least three follow-up appointments over 4-6 months, but many of my clients continue to work with me for longer as their health improves.
* Pathology hormone testing and supplements not included in consultation price.

If you would like a more structured package, I offer a customised 4-month hormone rebalance package that includes regular 1:1 consultations, functional and routine pathology, supplement allowance, exclusive pricing and access to my dispensary, ongoing support and guidance outside of consultations and loads of additional resources.
Typical steps:
- initial consultation

- three weeks later follow-up consultation, then
