Vis medicatrix naturae: The healing power of nature.
Naturopathy is founded on the principle that the body possesses an innate intelligence and capacity to heal when given the right conditions.
Rather than viewing disease as something to suppress, naturopathic medicine seeks to understand why symptoms have developed in the first place. Every symptom is part of a larger story—one that reflects your unique physiology, genetics, environment, lifestyle and life experience.
As naturopaths, we don't simply treat a diagnosis; we treat the person living with it. By understanding the interconnected patterns that have shaped your health, we work to restore balance and create the conditions for long-term healing and vitality.
Functional Testing
When clinically indicated, functional testing can help us look more deeply into what may be contributing to persistent, complex or unexplained symptoms.
Rather than testing for the sake of testing, I use it selectively to investigate patterns across hormones, digestion, nutrient status, metabolism and other areas of physiology, helping to create a clearer and more individualised picture of your health.
Testing may include:
Comprehensive pathology interpretation — looking beyond individual markers to understand patterns across your results
Comprehensive stool and microbiome testing —
DUTCH hormone testing — assessing sex hormones, hormone metabolites and adrenal patterns
Organic Acids Testing (OAT) — providing insight into nutrient needs and aspects of cellular and metabolic function
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) — assessing mineral patterns and potential imbalances
Nutritional and micronutrient assessment — investigating nutrient status where deficiencies or increased requirements are suspected
Testing is never a prerequisite for care. Recommendations are made based on your presentation, health history and whether the results are likely to meaningfully inform your treatment.
Areas of Clinical Interest
I have a particular interest in supporting women and individuals with persistent, complex or interconnected health concerns.
My clinical interests include:
Women’s hormonal health — including PMDD, endometriosis, adenomyosis and menstrual concerns
Eating disorer recovery and rebuilding a supportive relationship with food and the body
Fatigue, burnout and reduced resilience
Acute and chroninc skin conditions
Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
POTS, MCAS and nervous system dysregulation
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility-related presentations
Functional digestive concerns
Mould-related illness and environmental sensitivities
