Services

Naturopathy can include assessing and advising around your nutrition, food choices, and lifestyle - think movement, sleep, stress, and general environment). It may also include recommending herbal and/or nutrient supplements, depending on your specific case and needs.

My focus is using food as medicine, with herbs, nutrients and lifestyle to support you along the journey. I am all about working with where you are at and what is manageable for you to achieve.

If you tell me you’re a busy exhausted mum, I’m not going to give you 20 massive changes to make before our next appointment! Instead, I will help you with realistic tips and tricks that will have you/your child feeling good again. We are aiming for consistent improvements over time (not perfection and overwhelm!)

The first appointment is when I put on my ‘health detective’ hat. Together, we will look through your health history, your symptoms, any pathology or testing you have had, and put the puzzle pieces together. My goal is always to start working on your health before it becomes a major health condition.

When it comes to your initial appointment, the more accurate information I have, the better I can help you. I’m not here to judge you – I’m here to meet you where you’re at right now and help you achieve better health long-term.

The main areas of health that my clients fall into are:

• Preconception and pregnancy – from the start of your conception journey and throughout your pregnancy
• Post-partum care – offering support and space when you are depleted, tired, not sleeping or just not coping in general
• Mums & bubs nutrition – ensuring that both of you are getting adequate nutrition
• Paediatric cases (age 0-6 years) – giving you the tools you need to encourage long-term wellbeing in your little one

This depends on the supplement, the dose, and their specific health concerns. I generally don’t recommend going down to the pharmacy or supermarket and picking up a supplement from there – they are usually low-quality and can have some added ingredients that aren’t a healthy option for your little one!

Your best bet is to work directly with a naturopath or nutritionist. We are able to look at your child’s needs, age and weight, and tailor a recommendation that will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

I hear you – fussy kids can be tough when it comes to taking their supplements! Luckily, I have a host of tricks up my sleeve around how to get supplements into picky eaters and those with sensory issues. During your appointment, we can discuss ways to dose your child that won’t have you tearing your hair out with frustration!
