The World Health Organisation defines health as:
“a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”Hi,
Welcome to my website, I am delighted you found your way here. I am a Naturopath happily living in Bairnsdale, Victoria with my family.
Before studying Natural Medicine I worked as a Nurse. My greatest satisfaction came from sitting at the end of a patient’s bed. I often asked what a patient had understood after a doctor had visited them on a ward round.
I noticed that people often felt a sense of disempowerment around procedures, tests and medical language. Many didn’t understand what it all meant. Sometimes they didn’t even know what questions to ask. I observed that people often felt better when they understood a test or a result. This sense of empowerment can shift the axis of someone’s well being.
Whilst I value my nursing experience and have a healthy respect for western medicine, I decided to change my professional path and began studying to become a Naturopath. I know that there is so much more to being healthy and well than just the absence of symptoms.
Spirit mind and body are interconnected and all require nourishing for us to be well.
If you have any questions about my practice, please get in touch.

I identified that I would like to channel my deep caring nature and fascination of physiology in a holistic way so as to empower my clients
Is this you?
- ‘’The test results are within reference ranges but I just don’t feel like myself’’
- “I haven’t felt well since…”
- “I just don’t feel right…”
As a Naturopath I have time to listen and you have the time to talk about how you are feeling, and so very importantly, how you would like to feel.
Great health starts within.
As a Naturopath I have time to listen and you have the time to talk about how you are feeling, and so very importantly, how you would like to feel.
I identified that I would like to channel my deep caring nature and fascination of physiology in a holistic way so as to empower those who come to see me with:
- Feeling listened to in an unhurried environment
- Being equipped with information that is easy to understand
- The opportunity to participate in their own health care
- Discussing simple ways to use food as medicine
- Creating a clear coherent plan forward to improve and/ or maintain health and wellbeing in ways that are meaningful and tangibly translate into day to day life.
- An approach that is inclusive of other Health care modalities and cultural perspectives.
The Naturopathic approach I take may include the following, all individually tailored to safely support and nourish you:
- Nutritional recommendations
- Lifestyle suggestions
- Individual prescriptions for supplements including Flower essences
- Herbal medicines – I may blend a liquid herbal medicine formula for you. Sometimes tablet herbal medicines are appropriate and will be prescribed.
- Creation of a clear plan that is specific in supporting you in maintaining and/ or restoring your precious wellness of being.
- Functional Medicine tests may be requested with NutriPath. These tests can provide information about the functioning of body systems with specific testing of the gut microbiome, hormone saliva testing and more. If I consider any test is warranted, we will first discuss the kind of information a test will provide and how this will contribute to our plan for your health and wellbeing.
