A naturopath takes a holistic approach to your health, looking at the whole picture rather than just isolated symptoms. We explore your lifestyle, diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, and more to uncover what may be affecting your health - sometimes in ways you might not even realise!

Through a combination of tools including herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, personalised diet and lifestyle strategies, and careful health assessment - a naturopath helps support your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

I have a particular interest in gut health, cardiometabolic health, mental wellness, and skin conditions, but I work with a wide range of health concerns. The focus isn’t just on relieving symptoms; it’s about uncovering the root causes, restoring balance, and empowering you with the knowledge and tools to regain control of your health and feel your best.

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health that focuses on supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and maintain balance. A naturopath works with you to identify the root causes of your symptoms, rather than just managing them, and creates a personalised plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, supplements, and other natural therapies.

Naturopathy can help with a wide range of health concerns, including digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, stress, sleep problems, immune support, and chronic conditions. By addressing the underlying factors affecting your health, naturopathy aims to improve your overall wellbeing, energy, and quality of life.

An initial consultation is a comprehensive deep dive into your health. During this session, I will ask detailed questions about various aspects of your health to gain a clear understanding of what’s happening in your body. We’ll also review your diet and lifestyle habits to see how they may be affecting your well-being.

I will gather information about your current symptoms, personal health history, and family history, as well as discuss any medications or supplements you may be taking. Where necessary, I may perform a gentle physical examination. Together, we will collaborate to create a personalised roadmap for your care, designed to support your health goals and address the underlying causes of any concerns.

I am a degree qualified naturopath with a 4-year Health Science (Naturopathy) Bachelor degree from Torrens University.
I am also a register member of the Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA) (membership no. 159999).

It is often beneficial to work with a naturopath alongside your GP or other healthcare providers. Naturopathy focuses on supporting your overall health, addressing root causes, and promoting your body’s natural healing abilities, which can complement conventional medical care.

As a qualified clinical naturopath, I am trained to understand how natural therapies, supplements, and herbal medicines may interact with prescription medications. I will carefully assess your health history and current treatments to ensure any recommendations are safe, and I will advise when certain therapies may not be appropriate.

Collaboration is a key part of my approach. With your permission, I can communicate with your GP or other healthcare practitioners to coordinate care, monitor progress, and ensure your treatment plan is safe and effective. This integrated approach allows you to benefit from both natural and conventional therapies, while keeping safety as the top priority.

No. You don’t need to organise any new testing before your first appointment.

If you have any recent pathology results, imaging or other relevant reports, I encourage you to send these through prior to your consultation so I can review them as part of your health history. We can then discuss whether any additional pathology or functional testing may be appropriate based on your individual presentation.

Not necessarily. Recommendations are individualised and may include changes to diet, lifestyle, nutritional supplementation or herbal medicine depending on what is appropriate for you.

My approach is grounded in the foundations of health, with supplements and herbal medicines used where they may provide additional support rather than being an automatic part of every treatment plan.

Yes. Pathology and functional testing may be recommended where appropriate and where the results are likely to provide useful information to guide your care.

Testing is considered on an individual basis following your consultation rather than routinely recommended for every client.

Yes. Consultations are available both in person at Aēsara Health in Northcote and via Telehealth.

Telehealth appointments allow you to access your consultation remotely and follow the same individualised approach to care as an in-person appointment.

The frequency of follow-up appointments will depend on your individual health concerns, treatment plan and progress.

At the end of your consultation, we’ll discuss when a follow-up may be appropriate for you. As your needs change, the timing between appointments may also change.
