MY STORY

My path to becoming a naturopath began with my own health struggles. In my early career as a chef in Melbourne, long hours, a poor diet, and constant stress left me burnt out and dealing with chronic digestive issues. After working with a naturopath and transforming my health, I felt compelled to dedicate my career to helping others do the same.

Now I work with clients around the world to help them restore energy, improve digestion, balance hormones, support brain and cardiovascular health, and build long-term wellness.

How I Can Help

I combine in-depth functional testing with tailored diet and lifestyle strategies to uncover root causes and support healing in the following areas:

  • Digestive issues – IBS, SIBO, leaky gut, IBD
  • Hormonal imbalances – thyroid, PCOS, fertility, menopause
  • Fatigue & burnout – including post-viral fatigue and CFS/ME
  • Autoimmune conditions – including early detection and lifestyle-based management
  • Cognitive and mental health concerns – memory, focus, brain fog, mood
  • Cardiovascular and metabolic health – lipid markers, inflammation, insulin resistance
  • Longevity and healthy aging – improving mitochondrial health, metabolic flexibility, detoxification, and genetic expression to support a longer healthspan

Whether you’re looking for answers to ongoing symptoms or want to optimize your health as you age, I’ll help you cut through the noise and build a clear, personalized path forward.

What You Can Expect

  • Comprehensive health review: diet, history, symptoms, and lifestyle
  • Advanced functional testing to uncover hidden imbalances
  • Personalized treatment plan based on your results and goals
  • Ongoing education and support to help you reach lasting improvements in energy, digestion, mood, metabolism, and more
