Mindset, gut health and hormonal health are intrinsically connected.
Welcome, I’m so glad you found me…
I’m an intuitive empath, Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist offering naturopathic services for males and females, of every age and at every stage in life. I offer a place for you to receive guidance on how you CAN achieve the health outcomes and happy life that you DESERVE and desire!
I’m a strong advocate of prevention being better than cure. I set out to empower men and women by helping them to understand their body and how to decipher what it is their niggling symptoms are trying to tell them. I help motivate and inspire you to foster a mindset that allows you to push past the resistance and see it as a road block that can be overcome! I provide actionable steps (from a place of empathy and understanding) on how to incorporate and sustain new healthy habits in your life. I draw upon individualised naturopathic techniques to help ‘jump start’ these new changes, which will give you more patience, energy, stronger immunity and renewed vitality.
Both with my professional knowledge and insights from my own wellness journey, I understand the resistance you can feel when it comes to creating new healthy habits. In my late teens and early 20s as a legal secretary, I loved to party and was a smoker who mostly ate McDonald’s, pies, ice cream and any other processed food I desired daily. My health suffered, yet the doctors I went to couldn’t give me any answers. I realised I had to find another way.
Step by step I started to make changes, smoking was the first one to go. It wasn’t always easy, especially when I came up against the resistance and I would come up with all the best execuses of why I didn’t want to or felt I couldn’t make the change. What I did find though, when I did push through, was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be and was rather delighted at how much I enjoyed the benefits! I now have two young children, and I’m enjoying a mostly wholefood diet, without feeling like I have to sacrifice or that I am missing out.
I specialise in helping:-
New mothers navigate early motherhood, experiencing postnatal depletion, depression/anxiety or post-traumatic stress. Whilst throwing in a dash of baby nutrition advice.
Women balance their hormones. I help restore regular periods after being on the pill, and provide support with preconception and fertility health, IVF and pregnancy care.
Men and Women with IBS navigate their symptoms of bloating, constipation/diarrhea, irritability, abdominal pain and discomfort, anxiety/depression, skin rashes, fatigue etc.
I love Naturopathy techniques because it honours the individuality of each person and requires a detective mind which seeks to uncover the underlying cause of illness.
I offer a comprehensive range of naturopathic services including the holistic treatment of children, detoxification, weight loss, digestive system support, hormonal health for men and women and MTHFR support.
When formulating a Healing Plan for you based on your individual needs, I draw upon traditional naturopathic techniques such as herbs, nutritional advice and supplements, flower essences and homeopathy, along with modern functional medicine with lifestyle and meal planning advice.
To further help me uncover the root cause I utilise Iriodology and pulse readings, pathology and food allergy testing, hair mineral analysis, in-depth questioning and observational signs.
