“I only see a small number of women each week -so your case actually gets the time it deserves.” 🌷

This will still be the same in 2026 ✨

I am not a Naturopath whom: 👇

🌸Wants to be back to back constantly.
🌸Who can’t remember who you are.
🌸Who doesn’t take the time to work on your case.
🌸Who just sells you supplements to make money.

Your health is important to me. I know what it feels like to not feel heard or listened to or put on a protocol that doesn’t make sense. 🤷‍♀️

I am a Naturopath who: 👇

🌸Always creates a safe space
🌸Listens, empathizes and shows compassion
🌸Will only every recommend what’s needed
🌸Takes the time
🌸Who works on your case outside consults
🌸Who remembers who you are
🌸Very holistic approach with care
🌸Generally want to see you get better (mind, body & soul)
🌸 Always personal, never a generic treatment protocol.

It’s hard to find someone who gets it or cares.
It’s my mission to support you in every way I can. 🌸

I would love to work with you in 2026!

Feeling exhausted, anxious, panicky, or burnt out… but not sure why? 💛

Here’s why I like to test Cortisol & DHEA in my clinic when someone presents with exhaustion, anxiety, panic attacks, or burnout. 🩸

✨ Cortisol and DHEA are often not part of standard testing. If you’ve been to a medical practitioner feeling fatigued, burnt out, or panicky, but all your other bloods look normal, this could be the missing link.

As a naturopath, I like to look at what your body is trying to tell you. Experiencing these symptoms often means your body has adapted to a certain stress pattern and testing cortisol and DHEA helps me uncover your current stress response and guide how to support your nervous system back into balance. 🌸

But what are these hormones? ✨

✨ Cortisol (Your Stress Hormone)
• What it does: Regulates your stress response, energy, sleep-wake cycle, blood sugar, and inflammation.

⬆️• High cortisol symptoms: Anxiety, racing thoughts, insomnia, irritability, weight gain (especially around the belly).

⬇️• Low cortisol symptoms: Fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, low blood pressure, dizziness, poor stress tolerance.

✨ DHEA (Your Adrenal Hormone / Adrenal Ally)
• What it does: Helps your body cope with stress, supports hormones, energy, mood, and overall resilience.

⬆️• High DHEA symptoms: Acne, oily skin, excess hair growth in unusual places, anxiety, irritability (less common).
⬇️• Low DHEA symptoms: Fatigue, low mood, low libido, poor recovery, difficulty coping with stress.

See how important it is to figure out what these hormones are doing? 🤍

Of course, I always support you holistically. Labs are just one piece of the puzzle. Once we understand your hormones, we address and regulate them while also supporting you through lifestyle, diet, and potentially mindset, psychology, or somatic work with another practitioner if needed. I work with you to figure this all out and support you to get back to feeling like yourself! You don’t have to figure things out alone let’s get your health back on track. 🤍

Feeling tired, fatigued, or just… ‘off’… but you’ve been told everything looks normal? 🤍

Sometimes standard testing misses the subtle imbalances driving your fatigue, it just takes a different lens 👁️

As a naturopath, I dig a little deeper with labs that uncover gaps conventional medicine can often overlook-or not interpret optimally. 🩸

I also have access to all modern testing if your medical provider does not want to run these. ✅

Here are 5 labs I often like to run when a client presents with fatigue that isn’t improving, even with rest:

✔Full Iron studies
✔️B12 & Vitamin D
✔ Thyroid panel
✔ Cortisol & DHEA
✔ General bloods

When clients come to see me for low energy, brain fog, or fatigue, most have 3–4 of these labs outside the optimal range. ✅

Seeing these labs come back not in range makes so much sense-and gives us a piece of the roadmap to get you feeling like YOU again. 🌸

I support you through diet, lifestyle, mindset and personalised strategies- but because your body has been living on empty for too long, and rest alone often sometimes isn’t enough- labs are important to look into from a physiological perspective. 🌸

I’m here to listen and help you feel like you again, you won’t be rushed out the door! I help you get to the bottom of it- holistically. ✨

“Exhausted… but still showing up every day?” 🤍✨

“You’re not lazy.

You’re not failing.

You’re exhausted because your body has been holding so much for so long.. and you haven’t been given the answers or support you deserve.

Let’s sit down together and work it out! You don’t have to do this the same way next year🤍✨

For the woman who feels constantly overwhelmed -these are the truths that shifted my entire life. 🌸

1. Embrace uncertainty.
Life will never be certain- trying to control the outcome to every situation is exhausting- surrender and enjoy the ebbs and flows of life- it’s freeing.

2. Practice gratitude.
Gratitude pulls you out of the anxious future and brings you back into the present moment. It’s the emotional opposite of anxiety, and it gently rewires the nervous system

3. Seek support (a big one)
You’re not meant to carry everything alone, you weren’t put on earth alone. The right support team practitioners (Psychologist, Naturopath, hypnotherapist, energy workers) friends, loved ones, changes the entire healing journey.

4. Diet + lifestyle matter.
What you eat, how you sleep, how you move, and how you breathe all influence your hormones, nervous system and energy. Your body wants to feel supported, it’s an act of self love for yourself.

5. Self-compassion is essential.
You can’t heal from self-criticism. Speak to yourself with the same softness and patience you offer a close friend. Especially with anxiety instead of being judgmental that it’s there, accept it is there and that your inner child is wanting soothing not judgement.

6.Don’t run from your emotions.
Anything avoided gets louder. When you learn to sit and become an observer with your emotions, they move through you instead of getting stuck in your body.

7. Set boundaries.
Saying “no” is an act of self-respect. Boundaries protect your energy, your nervous system, and your healing. It’s a no when it’s not a full yes.

8. Choose people who feel safe.
Your body knows. Surround yourself with people who regulate you, not dysregulate you.

9.Invite joy back in.
Healing isn’t just about fixing what hurts -it’s also about bringing back lightness, play, and moments that make life feel full again.

10. Healing is mind, body + spirit.
You can’t separate them. True healing happens when all three are supported and working together. As a naturopath i address the physical but I always recognize the importance of the mental and energetic aspects of healing and physical symptoms.
