The initial consultation is a comprehensive session where we gather information about your overall health. We delve deep into your health history to identify the underlying root cause of your condition. During this session, I will ask you a series of questions regarding your presenting complaint, personal medical history, family medical history, diet and lifestyle.
At the end of the consultation, we will discuss your treatment options and decide on a plan of action together. If necessary, I may recommend additional tests, and you will receive a treatment plan via email within 24-48 hours. The treatment plan will outline your goals, provide dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and include any relevant testing and/or supplementation suggestions.

Acute consultations are done over the phone for new and existing clients. These appointments are useful for those experiencing acute conditions such as colds/flus, minor injuries, urinary tract infections, etc, or if you need a prescription refilled.
They're also great if you need supplementation for an upcoming overseas holiday (Bali belly anyone?!).
Please note that a written treatment plan will not be provided following this consultation. For more comprehensive support, please book an initial consultation.

In some cases, I may write a referral letter for you to take to your GP, who can then order tests for you under Medicare (bulk billed). I can also refer you for pathology testing, however, it will not be covered by Medicare.
I can also refer you for functional testing, such as hair testing, stool testing, gut/vaginal microbiome mapping and/or hormone testing if required. Please note that these tests involve out-of-pocket expenses which are usually not rebatable, and I will discuss these costs with you before ordering.
If functional testing is required, I will refer you to the laboratory. They will send you a testing kit with detailed instructions to collect the sample at home and return it to the pathology company. You will directly pay the laboratory when sending back the sample, and the results will be sent to me for evaluation during our next consultation.

I utilise a variety of online prescription services, which grant us access to a wide range of prescription-only products, including herbs, nutritional supplements, and medicinal foods. Having such variety allows me to tailor the treatment specifically to you, rather than being limited to the stock on my shelf.
After the consultation, you will receive an email with a link that takes you to your personal account to order your prescribed products. You can review and purchase the prescribed products at your convenience.
These online dispensaries deliver your order within a few business days, depending on your chosen shipping option.
Liquid Herbs
Herbal tinctures are personalised blends of liquid herbs that I create specifically for you, based on your condition and treatment goals.
If herbal tinctures are required as part of your treatment, we will discuss them during the consultation.
I provide the treatment protocol and prescription that will benefit you the most. Ultimately, the choice of how much you invest in the prescribed products is entirely up to you.
My Approach
“You can lead a horse to water,
but you can’t make it drink.”
Naturopathic medicine sets itself apart from Western medicine by focusing on uncovering the underlying causes of your symptoms, supporting your body's natural healing abilities.
Unlike traditional approaches that often involve a short course of antibiotics without significant lifestyle changes, naturopathic treatment plans offer more than just symptomatic relief. They emphasise educating clients to prevent future illnesses. This means that my clients are required to be open-minded about potentially modifying aspects of their diet and lifestyle to facilitate healing.
Naturopathy recognises that each individual is unique, and therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is not suitable. As a naturopath, my goal is to establish realistic expectations for my clients. What may work for one person may not yield the same results for another. It's important to acknowledge that some individuals may require more time than others to experience positive outcomes. Please be patient and be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I embrace the Doctor as Teacher philosophy in my practice, recognising that my role is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to enhance your health. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the responsibility for implementing these strategies lies with you. Together, we form a collaborative partnership where I guide and educate, and you take proactive steps towards improving your well-being. By fostering this dynamic relationship, we can work towards achieving optimal health and wellness.
I’m here to support you every step of the way
