What can I expect during my first 1:1 consultation?

Your initial consultation is a thorough review of your health history, diet, and lifestyle. We focus on finding the root causes of your symptoms and provide a personalised plan including nutritional advice and herbal support.

How does naturopathy help with perimenopause symptoms?

Naturopathy uses evidence-based nutrition and herbal medicine to balance hormonal shifts, helping to reduce hot flushes, improve sleep, and manage mood changes during the menopausal transition.

Can nutrition really improve my gut health and IBS?

Yes. By using advanced testing to assess your microbiome, we identify specific triggers and create a plan to restore balance, reduce bloating, and support overall gut function.

Is it possible to prevent osteoporosis if I have osteopenia?

Absolutely. Through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted nutritional supplements, we can enhance calcium absorption and promote bone formation to maintain bone density.

How do you support mental health concerns like anxiety?

We address physical drivers like gut-brain connection and nutrient deficiencies. Our approach is complementary and we often collaborate with GPs and psychologists for comprehensive care.

Do I need to stop seeing my regular doctor?

No. Our practice is designed to work in harmony with conventional medicine. We encourage collaborating with your existing healthcare team for the best results.

How long does it take to see results from a naturopathic plan?

Many clients see improvements in energy and digestion within weeks, though hormonal and bone health changes typically require a longer-term approach for lasting results.

Are the supplements and herbs you prescribe safe?

Yes. As degree-qualified practitioners, we use high-quality supplements and screen for interactions with any medications you are currently taking.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause — the transitional phase leading up to menopause — is a time of significant hormonal shifts that can bring a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and irregular cycles (read more about perimenopause here).

Perimenopause can last for up to a decade before you officially reach menopause. Most women reach menopause sometime around ages 51-52, but the age varies. This means you can start experiencing perimenopause symptoms shortly after you turn 40.

Some of the perimenopause symptoms can certainly be very disruptive to everyday life. This is where nutrition and naturopathy can make a difference. Getting the right nutrition will help your body move and function so much better. Herbal medicine can regulate many symptoms, including hot flushes, insomnia, anxiety, mood disturbances and so many more.

Osteopenia & osteoporosis prevention

Osteopenia, and osteoporosis, are closely linked to menopause. During perimenopause, estrogen levels begin to decline. Estrogen is a key hormone for maintaining bone density, as it:

Inhibits bone breakdown (resorption)
Promotes bone formation
Helps calcium absorption and retention

As estrogen drops, the balance tips toward greater bone loss, leading to reduced bone mass. Osteopenia is the precursor to osteoporosis, as this is a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal but not low enough to be called osteoporosis.

The good news is that there is plenty we can do to prevent osteopenia and certainly osteoporosis from happening. This includes dietary and lifestyle changes, as well as the right nutritional supplements. Book for a 1:1 consultation here to see how naturopathy & nutrition can help.

Struggling with IBS or Gut Symptoms?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common and often frustrating condition. Symptoms vary from person to person but frequently include abdominal pain, bloating, excess gas, and changes in bowel habits — such as constipation, diarrhea, or both. These symptoms can be unpredictable and significantly impact daily life.

But IBS isn’t the only issue we see. In fact, gut health plays a central role in most conditions we treat. As Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut.”

By using advanced testing to assess your gut microbiome, we can uncover the root causes of your symptoms. From there, we develop a personalised treatment plan to restore balance and support your overall health and wellbeing.

Anxiety/depression

Naturopathy can support people experiencing anxiety and depression by addressing underlying causes and promoting whole-body balance. While it doesn’t replace psychological therapies or necessary medication, naturopathic strategies can complement conventional treatments effectively.

We look for drivers such as hormonal imbalances, poor gut health (think gut-brain connection), chronic stress, inflammation, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic illness that could be underlying mental health challenges.

We address underlying issues by suggesting dietary and lifestyle changes, and also often provide herbal and nutritional support in the form of liquid herbs and supplements.

Naturopathy should be considered complementary, not alternative, to conventional mental health care, especially for moderate to severe cases. We like to collaborate with psychologists, GPs, and psychiatrists to ensure safety and comprehensive care. Book a 1:1 consultation to explore how we can help you uncover and address the underlying causes of your mental health issues.

FAQ’s

During your consultation, we explore your health from multiple angles, including:

Your current concerns – from sleep issues and brain fog to bone density changes, weight shifts, mood fluctuations, digestive symptoms, hormonal patterns or whatever you are currently experiencing
Your medical history – including previous diagnoses, medications, family health history, and any overlooked details that may be influencing your symptoms.
Nutrition and metabolic health – what you’re eating, how you’re absorbing nutrients, your blood sugar patterns, appetite changes, and gut function.
Lifestyle and emotional wellbeing – sleep quality, stress load, movement habits, energy, work demands, and mental health.
Environmental and life-stage influences – including perimenopausal hormonal shifts, metabolic changes, or osteopenia/osteoporosis risks.

This big-picture perspective helps us connect the dots and uncover the “why” behind your symptoms—not just the “what.”

If you have recent blood tests, we’ll review them together, and I may suggest additional testing if it is likely to provide meaningful insight.

Naturopathy may help support women through perimenopause and menopause by addressing some of the underlying factors contributing to symptoms such as hot flushes, poor sleep, mood changes, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low energy.

A naturopathic approach typically combines evidence-informed nutrition, lifestyle strategies, stress management, and personalised herbal and nutritional medicine to support hormonal, metabolic, nervous system, and bone health during this transitional stage of life.

Yes. Since gut health is central to your overall wellbeing, we use advanced testing to look at your microbiome. By identifying specific triggers and imbalances, we can create a food and supplement plan to reduce bloating, regulate bowel habits, and repair the gut lining.

Yes — in many cases, it is possible to slow, stop, or significantly reduce the progression from osteopenia to osteoporosis, particularly when it is identified early.

Osteopenia is a stage of lower-than-normal bone density, but it does not necessarily mean osteoporosis is inevitable. Bone is living tissue that continuously remodels itself, so lifestyle, nutrition, hormonal health, exercise, and medical management can all influence future bone strength.

A collaborative approach that includes a naturopath and nutritionist, a physiotherapist, a personal trainer and a GP is ideal to prevent osteopaenia from turning into osteoporosis.

We look at the physical drivers of mental health, such as gut-brain communication, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic stress. Our approach is complementary, meaning we often work alongside your GP or psychologist to provide a holistic support system using herbal and nutritional medicine.

No. Our practice is grounded in evidence and designed to work in harmony with conventional medicine. We value collaboration with your healthcare team to ensure you receive the most comprehensive and safe care possible.

Every person is different, but many clients notice improvements in energy and digestion within the first few weeks. For deeper issues like hormonal regulation or bone health, a longer-term approach is usually needed to see lasting physiological changes.

As degree-qualified practitioners, we only prescribe high-quality, practitioner-only supplements and herbs. we carefully check for any potential interactions with your current medications to ensure your treatment plan is both safe and effective.
