Karinda is a degree-qualified Naturopath, Certified Teacher in Natural Fertility Education, Menstrual Cycle Awareness Coach & Naturopathic Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA) member. Her passion is supporting women in resolving their period problems & hormonal imbalances, getting to the root cause of symptoms and bringing bodies back into balance -- naturally & holistically. PCOS, PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, hormonal acne, cycle-related symptoms, fertility & support in coming off hormonal birth control are some of Karinda's specialities. Working with these common ailments also involves working with your overall metabolism, nervous system, emotional health, digestion - Karinda is truly holistic in how she approaches you & your health. As a Natural Fertility & Menstrual Cycle Awareness Educator, Karinda can also help you avoid or achieve pregnancy naturally & support you on your fertility journey. Being a naturopath means that she looks at your whole state of health, present and past, and focuses on where you want to be. The focus is on you as a whole person, rather than just the disease. Karinda aims to discover what’s causing your current health problems and treat that cause, instead of suppressing symptoms and potentially causing long-term harm. An initial consultation involves thorough case history where Karinda gets to know you and your health journey. Using a holistic and trauma-aware approach, multiple factors that aren't conventionally addressed will be explored, including your physical, mental & emotional health; the social, cultural and environmental context of your life; as well as genetics, stress, inner work, spirituality, family history and more. During your health journey, Karinda may use holistic blood test analysis, physical examination, health questionnaires, comprehensive hormone testing & other functional tests to uncover clues in your unique case. These help us hone-in on the treatment targets that will encourage your body back into balance and help resolve symptoms. Naturopathic treatment & prescriptions may include herbs, holistic nutrition advice, nutritional supplements, customised compound powders/ protocols, lifestyle advice, mindfulness, energetic and mindset work to guide your healing journey. These are always individualised to suit you and ensure you can sustain progress & prevent ill-health in the long run. Karinda is committed to ongoing training & development in the areas of holistic herbalism, women's health, psychoneuroendocrinology, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed practice, somatic embodiment and prometabolic/intuitive nutrition for hormone health. With many years of clinical experience, Karinda has had great success helping many people discover empowered health, using her holistic and tailored-to-you approach. She looks forward to working with you to help you achieve you health & hormone goals.
