What drew me to this work, and keeps me in it, is the same thing: women who have been told their results are normal, but feel anything but.
My approach is grounded in functional and integrative medicine. I look at the whole picture, hormones, metabolism, gut health, nutrients, stress physiology, and I use evidence-informed testing and treatment to find what's actually driving your symptoms.
I went through perimenopause and menopause myself. I know what it feels like to do everything right and still feel like your body is working against you. That experience shapes how I practice every day.
Areas of clinical focus
Alongside my signature hormone and metabolic programmes, I see clients across a broad range of hormonal and functional health concerns.
Thyroid Health
Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and subclinical thyroid dysfunction. Many women are told their thyroid is "fine" based on TSH alone, I look deeper.
Adrenal & Stress Health
Burnout, HPA axis dysregulation, and cortisol imbalances that leave you wired and tired, exhausted but unable to sleep, or running on empty.
Gut Health & Digestion
IBS, bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, intestinal permeability, and the gut-hormone connection that is often overlooked in women's health.
Hormonal Imbalances
Oestrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, PCOS, irregular cycles, PMS, and the biochemical factors driving symptoms many practitioners dismiss.
Immune & Inflammatory Health
Autoimmune conditions, histamine intolerance, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and chronic low-grade inflammation driving symptoms across the body.
Metabolic & Blood Sugar Health
Insulin resistance, weight that won't shift despite a healthy lifestyle, energy crashes, sugar cravings, and the metabolic drivers of fatigue and brain fog.
Mood, Sleep & Cognitive Health
Anxiety, low mood, brain fog, insomnia, and poor concentration, especially when driven by hormonal shifts, nutrient depletion, or nervous system dysregulation.
Skin & Hair Health
Hormonal acne, hair thinning, and skin changes driven by oestrogen shifts, androgen excess, thyroid dysfunction, or nutrient insufficiency.
Bone & Cardiovascular Health
Supporting bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, and long-term metabolic health through the menopause transition and beyond, when these concerns become most relevant.
A whole-person approach
- Functional testing firstComprehensive pathology, hormone testing, and functional assessments to find the actual drivers, not just treat symptoms.
- Evidence-informed practiceHerbal medicine, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle medicine grounded in current clinical research.
- Collaborative careI work alongside your GP and specialists, naturopathy complements, not replaces, your existing medical care.
- Individualised treatmentNo generic protocols. Your plan is built around your results, your history, and your life.
- Root cause focusLooking upstream to understand why your body is producing symptoms, not just managing how they feel.
- Long-term resultsBuilding sustainable health, not quick fixes that stop working the moment you stop the protocol.
Functional testing I use
Getting the right information changes everything. I use a range of functional and standard pathology testing to build a complete picture of what's happening in your body.
DUTCH Complete Hormone Testing
Dried urine testing for a comprehensive view of sex hormones, adrenal function, cortisol patterns, and oestrogen metabolism pathways, including Phase I and II detoxification.
Comprehensive Thyroid Panels
TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, giving a full picture of thyroid function beyond the standard single marker most GPs run.
Metabolic & Insulin Markers
Fasting insulin, HbA1c, lipid panels, and inflammatory markers to identify insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction before it shows up as a diagnosis.
Nutrient Status Testing
Iron studies, B12, folate, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients frequently depleted in women under hormonal and metabolic stress.
Gut & Microbiome Testing
Comprehensive stool analysis to assess gut bacteria balance, digestive function, inflammation markers, and intestinal permeability, particularly relevant to hormonal health via the oestrobolome.
Standard Pathology & Referrals
I work with your existing pathology results and can refer for standard blood work through your GP or private providers across Australia.
Why I do this work
I was drawn to holistic health through my own health challenges and those of my family. Watching the people I love struggle to get satisfying answers from conventional medicine, and going through my own health journey, made me deeply curious about what was really going on beneath the surface.
Going through perimenopause and menopause myself, experiencing the weight gain, the fatigue, the brain fog that nobody seemed to have a satisfying answer for, only deepened that commitment.
I lost 12 kg using my own programme. Not because I found a magic solution, but because I finally understood what was actually driving my symptoms and addressed it properly. That experience is in every consultation I have.
I trained in naturopathy, herbal medicine, and nutritional therapy, and I have continued to deepen my expertise in oestrogen biochemistry, DUTCH testing, and the metabolic drivers of hormonal symptoms. I'm a member of the NHAA and hold additional training in Metabolic Balance methodology.
I practice in Australia, seeing clients in person and online. Every woman who comes to see me deserves to feel genuinely well, not just better than terrible.
