Your questions, answered

The Reset is a personalised naturopathic programme built on the Metabolic Balance methodology — a science-backed nutritional approach using your individual blood work to create a plan specific to your biochemistry.

I layer my clinical expertise in menopause and metabolic health on top of that framework, so you're working with someone who understands exactly what's happening hormonally and why the usual advice hasn't worked.

No calorie counting, no starvation, no fasting protocols. The programme is built around eating real food at the right times for your body — not eating less of everything.

Metabolic Balance focuses on restoring hormonal balance through targeted nutrition. Most clients find they're eating more consistently than before, just differently.

Women in perimenopause or menopause who are frustrated that despite doing "everything right," they're still gaining weight, feeling exhausted, dealing with brain fog, or struggling with sleep and mood.

You don't need a diagnosis. If your hormones are shifting and your body feels like it's working against you, this is for you.

Clients commonly experience improved energy, clearer thinking, better sleep quality, reduced hot flushes, and gradual, sustainable weight loss. Results vary by individual.

This is not a quick fix. It's a commitment to retraining your metabolism. I lost 12 kg on my own programme — but only because I showed up consistently.

Yes, blood testing is the foundation of the Metabolic Balance methodology. Once enrolled, I'll guide you through exactly what tests are needed and how to get them done. The blood test fee of $195 is paid directly to the referring laboratory. Some GPs will run the required tests at no cost.

The Metabolic Balance plan fee of $420 is separate — this covers the creation of your personalised plan from your results. Both are included in the programme pricing on the Programme page.

I'm based in Australia and see clients in person and online. The programme includes one-on-one consultations, access to educational resources, and ongoing support throughout.

Group cohort participants also have access to a private client community and weekly live calls.

Support is built into every phase. You'll have regular check-ins, access to educational materials, and a clear pathway through all four phases of Metabolic Balance.

You won't be left figuring it out alone — that's the whole point of working with a practitioner rather than a generic app.

The 12-Week Menopause Metabolic Reset is $1,895 in total. This includes a $200 deposit on booking, $600 at your first appointment (plan fee and initial consultation), and a $900 remaining balance. Full pricing details are on the Programme page.

The blood test ($195) is paid separately to the referring laboratory and is not included in the programme fee. Some GPs will run the required tests at no cost.

Yes. A flexible weekly payment plan is available for the 12-Week Reset, with admin fees included.

Flexible payment plan: $200 deposit on booking, $600 at your first appointment, then 11 × $90 weekly commencing the week after your first appointment.

Naturopathy has recently been reinstated as a recognised modality for private health fund rebates in Australia. Individual health funds are currently in negotiations to set their rebate levels, so cover will vary depending on your fund and your level of extras cover.

Some funds also offer benefits for weight management programmes under their extras cover. We recommend contacting your health fund directly to ask about naturopathy and weight management benefits under your specific policy.

Please note that the Metabolic Balance plan fee and blood test are not claimable through health funds as these are a system and laboratory cost respectively.

Absolutely. The Reset works alongside HRT, not against it. Many of my clients are already on hormone therapy and find the programme helps them get far more from it by addressing the metabolic side — insulin resistance, gut health, nutrient status — that HRT alone doesn't resolve.

I work collaboratively with your GP or specialist. Nothing in the programme conflicts with standard HRT prescriptions.

Yes — the Menopause Metabolic Reset is genuinely one of the best supports available if you're currently on a GLP-1 medication or planning to come off one.

GLP-1s suppress appetite and slow gastric emptying, but they don't address the underlying metabolic and hormonal drivers of weight gain in menopause. When you stop, those drivers are still there and the weight often returns.

The Reset rebuilds your metabolic function through personalised nutrition based on your blood values — addressing the root cause: insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, and gut dysfunction.

It's one of the things this programme does particularly well. Many women come to me wanting to stop GLP-1 medications but worried about losing ground. The Reset gives your body the metabolic framework it needs to maintain results without the medication.

As blood sugar stabilises, insulin sensitivity improves, and appetite regulation normalises through food rather than pharmacology, dependence on GLP-1 medication naturally reduces. I work closely with you and your prescribing doctor throughout.

The Menopause Metabolic Audit is a free 20-minute audit where we look at what's going on for you specifically — your symptoms, history, and what you've already tried — and identify the likely drivers behind how you're feeling.

It's not a sales pitch. It's a genuine clinical conversation. If the Reset is a good fit, I'll explain how it works. If it's not, I'll tell you that too.
