What clients arrive saying

Your symptoms get a label, not a question. Your gut, your hormones,
your sleep, siloed. You leave with a script,
not a plan.

It isn't bad medicine. It's medicine asked to do too much in too little time, in a system designed for ten-minute consults and single-cause answers.

That's where I start.

I read the whole picture before I touch any of it.

How I work

I read the whole picture. I test before I treat. I write a plan you can live.

01

Read before prescribe

I take a 75-minute intake before I write a single recommendation. Symptoms read in context. Lifestyle read alongside biochemistry. The whole picture, before any of it.

02

Test, don't guess

Pathology and functional testing where it adds clarity. Bloods, hormones, GI mapping. Coordinated through local labs. The body tells the truth when we ask it the right way.

03

A plan you can live

Diet shifts, key supplements, lifestyle anchors. Written, explained, and pace-matched to your actual life. Most plans run 3 to 6 months. Adjusted, not abandoned.

About

I read the whole picture before I touch any of it.

Trained at Endeavour College Sydney. Bachelor of Health Science, Naturopathy. Five years in two multi-practitioner clinics watching clients shuffle between specialists who never spoke to each other.

Went solo in 2022 to build a practice where the body gets read as one system, not five separate ones. Marrickville base. Home visits in the Inner West for postpartum clients. Pathology referrals through local labs.

Honest about what naturopathy can and can't do. Chronic conditions need a team, and I'll tell you when GP or specialist is the right next step. The clients who do best with me are the ones who want a slower, deeper kind of medicine.

How a course of care actually goes

From first intake to protocol that holds.

Step 2
Pathology + testing

Where it adds clarity. Bloods, hormones, GI map. Coordinated through local labs. Results back in 2 to 3 weeks.

Step 3
Personal protocol

Diet shifts, key supplements, lifestyle anchors. Written and explained, pace-matched to your life.

Step 4
Follow-ups, 3 to 6 weeks

Real questions

The stuff clients ask first.

Do you take health insurance?
Most major Australian private health insurers cover naturopathy under extras with a rebate per consult. I provide a HICAPS-compatible receipt for you to claim. Specific coverage varies, so check with your fund. Pathology testing is a separate cost, paid directly to the lab.
What conditions do you actually treat?
Most of my work is women's hormonal health (perimenopause, cycle concerns, postpartum), gut and autoimmune presentations, and general wellness coaching. I'm not the right practitioner for acute mental health crises, eating disorders requiring multidisciplinary care, or conditions that need urgent medical intervention. For those I refer to a specialist team.
How is naturopathy different from a GP?
GPs are trained to diagnose and treat acute and chronic disease, often through medication. Naturopaths look at the whole system: nutrition, lifestyle, biochemistry, sleep, stress. We work alongside GPs, not against them. The best outcomes happen when both are involved.
Do I need pathology testing? Is it extra?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If existing bloodwork is recent and covers the right markers, we may not need more. When testing adds clarity (hormones, GI mapping, micronutrients), I'll explain why and what it costs before we order. Pathology is paid directly to the lab, not to me.
How long until I see results?
Most clients feel a shift in 4 to 6 weeks. Sustained change usually takes 3 to 6 months. Chronic presentations can take longer. I'll be honest at intake about what's realistic for your specific situation.
Do you work with my GP or specialist?
Yes, with your permission. I write a clear summary letter for your GP if you'd like, and I refer to specialists when symptoms warrant it. Naturopathy works best as part of a coordinated team, not in isolation.
