About Me

My passion for health began with a deep curiosity about the human mind, how our experiences shape the way we think, feel, and function. I initially studied psychology before realising I wanted to understand the body more broadly: how nutrition, stress, sleep, movement, and emotional wellbeing intersect to influence long-term health. That curiosity led me to naturopathy, and I haven't looked back.

What drew me to naturopathic medicine was its holistic yet evidence-informed approach, the recognition that the body's systems are deeply interconnected, and that lasting change comes from understanding the whole person, not just the presenting symptom. As my studies progressed, I developed a particular appreciation for the science behind it: nutritional biochemistry, pathophysiology, herbal pharmacology, and the growing body of research supporting plant-based medicine at a biochemical and cellular level.

I completed my Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) at Torrens University in Melbourne, a 4 year degree that included over a year of supervised clinical practice working with real patients, an experience that shaped not just my skills, but the way I listen and connect with the people I work with. I am a proud member of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA).

My own health journey has also shaped who I am as a practitioner. I have navigated my own experiences with mental health, stress, and nervous system dysregulation, and feeling firsthand how that kind of imbalance can quietly affect every corner of your life gave me a much deeper compassion for people going through something similar. It also reinforced something I now hold as a core belief in my practice: that the nervous system sits at the centre of so much of what we experience in our health. When it is dysregulated, everything suffers. When it begins to settle, people change in ways that are genuinely visible, in their energy, their mood, their sense of themselves.

Life is such a profound gift, and it genuinely moves me when people spend it weighed down by pain, exhaustion, or disconnection. That is what drives me to keep learning and keep showing up for the people I work with.

My clinical interests have grown naturally around nervous system health, mental and emotional wellbeing, gut-brain connection, neuroinflammation, hormonal health, skin conditions, and preventative care. I am deeply interested in the emerging research on the gut-brain axis and its role in neurological and mental health conditions — an area I am actively looking to further my education in, with a particular focus on mental health, sleep, and neurological conditions. Watching people close to me face conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's has only strengthened my commitment to understanding how lifestyle, nutrition, and nervous system support can protect and support brain health across a lifetime.

In practice, I have supported people navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, fatigue, ADHD, hormonal imbalances, digestive concerns, inflammatory skin conditions, and the many shifts that come with different stages of hormonal health. I have also worked alongside individuals transitioning away from certain medications under GP supervision, supporting their wellbeing throughout that process in a way that is safe, collaborative, and always evidence-informed.

I offer consultations both in person and via Telehealth. Where possible, I value face-to-face appointments, being in the room with someone allows me to build a fuller picture of their health presentation and carry out physical examinations where relevant. That said, I understand life doesn't always make that easy, and Telehealth remains a meaningful and effective option for many of the people I work with.

Above all, I love hearing people's stories. I believe good healthcare feels human, collaborative, and empowering, and that the most important thing I can offer someone is the experience of feeling genuinely heard, often for the first time in a long time.

Watching someone begin to reconnect with themselves, their energy, their clarity, their sense of hope, is the most rewarding thing I know how to do.

Outside the Clinic

When I am not in the clinic I am usually moving, creating, eating something interesting, or buried in a book.

My love of reading leans heavily toward fiction and historical fiction, there is something about being transported into another world or era that I find genuinely restorative. I am also a creative at heart: I draw, I life draw, and I find the process of making something with my hands one of the best ways I know to switch off.

Movement is a big part of my life. Pilates, yoga, and resistance training are all regulars in my week, less out of discipline and more because of how they make me feel. I think that distinction matters, and it is one I try to bring into conversations with patients too.

Food is another obsession. I love cooking, experimenting with different cuisines, and the way a meal can be both nourishing and a genuine act of creativity. My kitchen is essentially a testing ground.

I have been lucky enough to travel widely, and it has shaped me enormously, the way I see health, food, culture, and what it means to live well. Guatemala holds a particular place in my heart, and I have a trip to Sri Lanka coming up that I am very much looking forward to.

At home, I share my life with my partner and two very food-motivated companions, Winnie, a golden retriever, and Blue, a ragdoll cat, who between them have made it very clear that mealtimes are non-negotiable.
