My story

My journey into naturopathy began in my teenage years when my mum took me to see a naturopath for problematic skin. That experience sparked a deep interest in natural health and planted the seed for what would eventually become my career.

Becoming a naturopath was always a goal of mine. While it took time to get there, I’m incredibly grateful I followed that path. Along the way, I also studied Kinesiology from a holistic perspective, which further deepened my understanding of the body’s intricate balance and introduced me to concepts from traditional Chinese medicine.

I now run a home clinic in Mount Evelyn, nestled in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. I also practice at Ginkgo Health Care in Ferntree Gully and offer online consultations, making naturopathic care accessible wherever you are.

My Passion for Health

I love exploring the interconnected nature of health, especially the relationship between the gut, brain, hormones, immune system, and nervous system.

Gut health is a particular passion of mine, especially the gut-brain connection and the profound influence digestion can have on mood, inflammation, immunity, and overall wellbeing.

I also have a strong interest in epigenetics, methylation, and environmental health.

Epigenetics explores how lifestyle and environmental factors influence gene expression. While we cannot change our genes, we can influence how they are expressed through factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress management, toxin exposure, and lifestyle choices. Understanding these connections helps us create meaningful and sustainable changes in health.

I also have a special interest in supporting women’s health, particularly hormonal balance, thyroid conditions, fatigue, metabolism, and healthy ageing.

My Approach to Health

I often say that I am a “why” person.

I am naturally curious and love solving problems. When someone comes to me with complex symptoms, my mind immediately starts asking questions:

Why is this happening? Why now? What could be driving these symptoms?

I don’t believe symptoms happen in isolation.

Fatigue, digestive issues, thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalances, skin conditions, inflammation, stress, and mood changes are often interconnected. My role is to help join the dots and uncover the bigger picture of your health.

I am a systems-based naturopath who helps people make sense of complex health issues so they can finally understand the why behind how they feel.

My approach is evidence-informed, combining current scientific research, pathology interpretation, clinical experience, and systems thinking with the traditional wisdom of herbal medicine and holistic healthcare.

I value both modern science and traditional natural medicine.

Science helps us understand mechanisms, pathways, and physiology. Traditional wisdom reminds us to look at the whole person — not just lab results or isolated symptoms.

By bringing these perspectives together, I help translate complex health issues into clear, practical understanding.

My goal is not simply to recommend supplements or herbs. I want you to understand what your body may be communicating, so you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your health journey.

Because when you understand the bigger picture, meaningful change becomes possible.
