I find it fascinating that using herbal medicine and nutrition, you can improve and support your mood. I love this as it makes such a big difference to people's lives. I love supporting women particularly when they are feeling excessively irritable. But also I can help support low mood and anxiety.

Did you know Google search engine is bias and hides complementary medicine / alternative health information from you? It's outrageous they control what knowledge you are allowed to find! Use Duck Duck Go or other free non bias search engines!

Have you noticed it's becoming harder to find independent health information in your search results?

My clinic room is a safe space for you to share your burdens and talk through what is going on in your life. Naturopaths are trained in wholistic counselling, and it's a great way to reduce your stress levels by sharing your story. I love to hear about my clients' lives and concerns, and then I can choose the right herbal medicines for them. Each herb has its own energy, its own way to support your body, mind, and spirit.

Making herbal medicine mixes for my clients is one of my passions.

It allows me to pick and choose herbs based on what is going on for them at any given time. It is true personalised medicine.

This mix was put together for a lady going through menopause. I chose the herbs based on her symptoms and that is why people do really well on herbal medicine when it is prescribed by a qualified practitioner.

Where you can find me and what does a Naturopathic consultation with me look like ❤️

This is my home-based clinic located in the gorgeous Avoca Beach on the Central Coast NSW. I have been practicing in this space since 2022, when I first opened my own practice. It's quiet, peaceful and welcoming to anyone that needs support with their health.

During our initial consultation I spend about one hour taking a very detailed health history and some physical examinations. I will assess and question every body system and build a clinical picture of your body and your illness. This allows me to qualify the problems and decide what is the priority for you.

I will then prescribe dietary advice and sometimes dietary changes and determine which supplements are really important for your healing. I may make and send you home with a personalised herbal medicine for you to take.

There are also an extensive number of tests available to Naturopathic patients. Testing is very helpful but not necessary for me to treat you. Some people are happy to pay for tests for the value and health information they give while others would prefer just to get on with the treatment. We can discuss this during your consultation.

I strive to do the best for my clients and always work with you and your budget. My aim is to make Naturopathy as affordable as possible so it's accessible to everybody.

Why see a Naturopath? A short story of a recent client and uncovering their gut issues.

What’s two thing everyone is missing when it comes to gut health?

I hear a lot of people out there talking about gut health. They talk about probiotics. They talk about prebiotics. They talk about gut healing. They blame the gut microbiome for everything. Don’t get me wrong, these things have their place. But by far the two most important aspect of healing the gut is REDUCING STRESS and STRENGTHEING DIGESTION.
If you are stressed – your digestion shuts down. You produce less hydrochloric acid, less digestive enzymes, less of every tier of digestion that breaks your food down and most importantly, controls the microbial population. The Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners call this Spleen Deficiency. It’s when you are up in your head, over thinking, worrying and not in your body. And importantly, energy is not going to your digestion. Time and time again I see stress wreak havoc on people’s digestion. When we deal with the stress, the digestion improves, their bowels normalize, their reflux stops.
So how do we deal with stress? Well apart from the obvious – down time, time in nature, meditation, coloring in (yes coloring in has been found to be a close second to meditation), I use herbal medicines to calm the adrenals, calm the nervous system and help the body relax. This always works brilliantly and peoples wellbeing improves immensely.
The other big mistake I see practitioners making is forgetting to strengthen digestion. Within the Naturopathic and herbal world, we have an abundance of herbal medicines and nutrients that work to improve digestion. And these make a really big difference. By strengthening each tier of digestion, you improve things out of sight. We use herbs to stimulate hydrochloric acid in the stomach, some herbs for stimulating bile production, some herbs for improving the amount of bile produced, some herbs for healing the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
You see the digestive system is like dominos – each one impacts the next level. So, by working on each tier, you get great improvement. The most important outcomes from this are more bowel motions which means better detoxification of the body. It also means, very importantly, getting control of any abnormal microbes or pathogens growing in the gut. These are the most important tips I can give you to get your digestion back on track.
As a Naturopath I tailor make herbal medicines to suit each person. That is the advantage of seeing a practitioner – you are getting a personalized prescription. So I can choose herbs to suit your body and your situation.
If you would like book a consultation, please get in touch. 😃
