This image captures my why 🤍

Why I chose naturopathy.
Why I keep studying, learning, refining.
Why I sit with women when they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck or unheard.

I do this work because I genuinely believe the body is intelligent — not broken.
And when we understand what it’s asking for, everything changes.

My “why” isn’t about fixing people.
It’s about supporting them back into balance.

It’s about:
• helping women reconnect with their bodies
• supporting the nervous system when life feels relentless
• using food as nourishment, not punishment
• looking deeper than “your bloods are normal”
• honouring both the science and the human experience

I’ve seen firsthand what happens when stress, hormones, digestion and mindset are treated as separate issues — and I’ve also seen how powerful it is when they’re supported together.

As a naturopath, wife and mum, I understand how easy it is to put yourself last.
And I also know how life-changing it can be when you finally feel supported, understood and guided — not rushed or dismissed.

This work lights me up because it’s not about quick fixes.
It’s about sustainable health, resilience, and helping people feel at home in their bodies again.

If you’ve ever felt like:
“You should be coping better”
“You’ve tried everything”
or “this can’t just be how it is now”

Please know — there is another way.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone 🤍

Collagen isn’t just about skin and hair — it’s a foundational protein for joints, ligaments, tendons and gut health.

This is the collagen I used to support my son during his non-surgical ACL repair, alongside the right rehab, nutrition and load management.

Collagen provides key amino acids that support connective tissue repair and the integrity of the gut lining, which is often overlooked during injury recovery.

Quality matters when you’re asking the body to heal — not all collagen is created equal.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, supporting gut repair, or wanting to protect your joints long-term, choosing the right collagen makes a difference.

I throw mine into my sheep yoghurt!

Now available in a marine option as well.

The first day back at school can feel like a mix of relief, emotion, logistics… and already being “on”.

So if you’re telling yourself you should do more for yourself today — pause.

Self-care doesn’t have to be an hour alone or a weekend away.
Some seasons (like this one) call for micro self-care.
And that still counts.

Today, that might look like:

5 slow breaths before you turn the car on

A short walk after drop-off, even if it’s just around the block

Eating lunch without multitasking

Saying no to one extra thing that doesn’t actually need to happen

Nothing fancy.
Nothing Instagram-perfect.
Just small moments that help your nervous system exhale.

You don’t need more time — you need less pressure.

And if today feels big (for you or them), that’s ok too.

From one Mum to another,

Back to school this week!
Lots of meal prep to ease the week.
Thermomix GF zucchini quiche
Fruit and veg sticks
Buckwheat bars I made the other week.
So great having supplies in the freezer.

Sunday Reflection 🌿

You don’t need a full reset.
You just need a pause.

A moment to slow down before the week begins again.

Not to judge yourself.
Not to plan perfectly.
Just to notice.

Ask yourself:

What worked this week?

What felt heavy or draining?

What can I simplify next week?

Keep it gentle.

A simple Sunday ritual:

10 quiet minutes

Pen + paper

One intention for the week ahead

That’s it. No big overhaul required.

Because growth doesn’t always look loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like choosing ease where you can.

You’re doing better than you think.

One of our family favourites 🍪

This is Mia’s go-to gluten-free biscuit recipe, adapted at home from a Cookidoo classic and given a little naturopathic tweak.

We love using:
• coconut sugar (lower glycaemic impact than white sugar and contains trace minerals like potassium and zinc)
• aluminium-free baking powder
• quality dark chocolate

Coconut sugar still behaves beautifully in baking, but tends to cause less of a blood sugar spike compared to refined white sugar — which is a win for energy levels and little nervous systems.

It’s a great example of how Thermomix + Cookidoo give you a solid base, and then you can tailor recipes to suit your family, values, and health goals.

Simple, flexible, and very well-loved in our house!

Recipe adapted from Cookidoo - perfect for self-guided cooking.

Friday check-in ✨

I’ve been back in clinic since mid-January and honestly… wow.
The last few weeks have been full in the best way.

I’ve welcomed so many new clients across my services, reviewed a stack of pathology results, built personalised treatment protocols, and onboarded beautiful women into my 12-week support program.

There’s been weekly coaching calls, the delivery of my 40+ Metabolism Reset webinar, and behind the scenes I’ve also started some new studies (more on that soon 👀).

In clinic and online, I’ve supported clients through anxiety, weight loss, menopausal symptoms, gut health, hormone imbalances, pregnancy support — and everything in between. It’s such a privilege to walk alongside people as they prioritise their health and nervous systems again.

As we head into the weekend (and with the kids heading back to school 😅), I’m feeling deeply grateful… and very ready for a moment to pause, recharge, and reset before another big week ahead.

This year is already flying.
And I’m here for it.

Have the best weekend 🤍

☀️ Extreme Heat Advisory ☀️

With temperatures forecast to reach 48°C today, it’s important to take additional precautions to reduce the risk of heat-related illness.

• Maintain regular fluid intake throughout the day
• Use quality electrolytes where appropriate to support hydration (available from the clinic)
• Keep pets well hydrated and indoors or in cool, shaded environments where possible
• Check on family members, neighbours, and others who may be vulnerable to heat stress

Extreme heat places significant strain on the body. Reduce strenuous activity, seek cool environments, and respond early to signs of dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Please take care and stay safe. 💧

What’s your favourite way to stay hydrated? 👇

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal”… but you feel anything but — this is for you.
Most women don’t realise they’re dealing with early metabolic dysfunction because it doesn’t show up the way we expect.

It’s not always high blood sugar.
It’s the crashes.
The constant hunger.
The fatigue that won’t lift.
The weight that doesn’t respond — no matter how “good” you’re being.
Add hormonal shifts, rising inflammation, gut disruption, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode — and suddenly your body feels like it’s working against you.

This is why I don’t focus on quick fixes or calorie-driven plans.

Inside my 1:1 support and 12-week Metabolic Balance The Vitality Boost program, we work on:
• stabilising blood sugar without restriction
• building muscle to improve metabolic power
• calming the nervous system so your body feels safe to change
• supporting gut health to reduce cravings and inflammation
• creating sustainable habits that actually stick

Because metabolic health isn’t about willpower.
It’s about giving your body what it needs to feel safe, fuelled, and resilient again.

If this post resonated — and you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding your body — I’ve opened a limited number of discovery call spots this week.

⚠️ Prices are increasing in March, so now is the time to get started.
