About
My Why
After more than eight years working as a Dermal Therapist, it became clear that what shows up on the skin is often only one piece of a much bigger picture. Alongside years of working with skin professionally, a personal experience with painful, cystic acne became an important part of the journey into naturopathy.
After struggling with cystic acne as a teenager, the birth control pill was prescribed to help manage the skin. Years later, after coming off the pill at 23, the acne returned. Once again, the options offered focused on treating the acne itself, but no one seemed to be asking why it was happening in the first place.
Wanting to understand what was happening beneath the surface sparked a deeper curiosity about the body and the many factors that can influence our skin, including hormones, digestion, stress, nutrition and overall health. That experience ultimately shaped the journey into naturopathy and an approach to skin that looks beyond the breakout to understand the person as a whole.
Discovering naturopathy opened the door to looking beyond the surface and exploring the connections between skin, hormones, gut health, nutrition, stress, sleep and lifestyle. Experiencing firsthand the value of looking at the body as a whole ultimately became a driving force behind completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy).
What began with a love for skin has since grown into a genuine passion for supporting the whole person. Areas of particular interest include skin health, women’s and men’s health, hormones, fertility and reproductive health, gut health, stress, sleep and nervous system support.
At the heart of this approach is the belief that everyone deserves the time and space to feel genuinely heard. Health can be complex, and care should feel supportive, individualised and realistic, with the aim of understanding what may be contributing to symptoms rather than looking at each concern in isolation.
There is no expectation of perfection. The goal is to help you better understand your body, feel empowered in your health and make meaningful, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life.
Areas of Focus
Acne & Skin
Support is available for those experiencing acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, dermatitis, hormonal breakouts and chronic skin inflammation. With a background in dermal therapy, treatment looks beyond the surface to explore underlying factors such as gut health, hormones, inflammation and stress, so skin concerns are addressed at the root rather than just managed topically
Hormonal Health
Support for irregular periods, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause, menopause and fertility concerns, with a personalised plan for long-term hormonal health through every stage of life.
Stress, Sleep & Nervous System
Support for those experiencing chronic stress and overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, fatigue and low energy, difficulty falling or staying asleep, poor sleep quality, low resilience to daily stressors, nervous system dysregulation, feeling constantly "wired but tired," or difficulty switching off and relaxing.
Gut Health
Bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, food sensitivities, parasites, SIBO, leaky gut, dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, H. Pylori, coeliac disease, histamine intolerance and post-antibiotic gut recovery.
Comprehensive gut microbiome mapping is also available, giving detailed insight into your gut bacteria, digestive function and areas of imbalance, so treatment can be targeted with far greater precision than symptoms alone allow.
