A naturopath looks at your health as a whole picture, not just the symptoms. Instead of masking issues, we aim to find the root cause—whether that’s stress, diet, lifestyle, or something deeper. We use natural tools like nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle strategies to help your body do what it’s designed to do: heal and thrive. Think of me as your health detective and cheerleader rolled into one.

Dieticians focus on food and how it affects your health, and dietetics often works within hospital or clinical settings. Naturopathy or Clinical Nutritionists goes broader—we combine nutrition with herbal medicine, stress management, and lifestyle changes to treat the whole person, not just a condition. It’s like having a toolkit with extra tools for natural healing.

We work on six main principles:

First, do no harm (gentle, safe methods).

The healing power of nature (your body is incredible!).

Identify and treat the cause (not just symptoms).

Treat the whole person (mind, body, emotions).

Doctor as teacher (I educate you, so you’re empowered).

Prevention is the best cure (stay well before you get sick).
It’s a mix of science and nature working together.

A naturopath works with a wide range of health concerns by addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. Some of the common areas we help with include:

Digestive issues: bloating, constipation, IBS, gut inflammation, and food sensitivities

Hormonal imbalances: PMS, menopause, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue

Stress and mental health: anxiety, low mood, burnout, and sleep problems

Immune support: frequent colds, low immunity, and post-illness recovery

Skin conditions: acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin issues

Weight management: healthy, sustainable weight loss or gain

Chronic fatigue and low energy: boosting vitality naturally

Cardiometabolic health: blood sugar balance, cholesterol support, and heart health

Nutritional guidance: creating personalised food plans to prevent deficiencies and optimise health

We also focus on prevention and long-term wellbeing, so even if you feel “mostly healthy,” a naturopath can help you stay that way. It’s all about supporting your body’s natural ability to heal through nutrition, lifestyle, and gentle natural therapies.

Yes, a lot of what we do is supported by research—especially around nutrition, herbal medicine, gut health, and stress management. While not every traditional remedy has large-scale studies, many do, and we always use evidence-based approaches where possible. Plus, nature’s been around for a few million years—pretty solid track record!

Conventional medicine is amazing for emergencies and acute care. Holistic health looks at the bigger picture—what’s causing the issue and how can we prevent it long-term? We blend science, nutrition, and natural therapies to support your body’s healing without just relying on medication.

Because your gut and brain are in constant conversation via the vagus nerve and your microbiome. In fact, about 90% of serotonin (your feel-good hormone) is made in your gut! When your gut is inflamed or out of balance, it can affect your mood, focus, and stress levels.

First, we figure out why you’re bloated—maybe it’s food intolerances, stress, gut bacteria imbalance, or even how you eat. Then we create a plan that could include gentle herbal teas, probiotics, and tailored nutrition. No harsh cleanses—just restoring harmony to your digestive system.

Start with the basics: balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and slow-release carbs to keep your blood sugar steady. Stay hydrated (even mild dehydration can make you tired!), and don’t underestimate quality sleep and movement—even a 10-minute walk helps circulation and energy. Herbs like ginseng or adaptogens (think ashwagandha, rhodiola) can also support resilience and vitality. But the biggest tip? Listen to your body—if fatigue is constant, dig deeper for the root cause.

Yes! We use tools like herbal medicine (calming herbs such as lavender, passionflower, or lemon balm), magnesium-rich foods, and breathing techniques to calm your nervous system. We also look at sleep, gut health, and lifestyle stressors because anxiety isn’t just “in your head”—your body plays a big role. The goal is to help you feel grounded without relying solely on medication.

Foods rich in magnesium (dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds) help relax muscles and nerves. Tryptophan-containing foods (like turkey, pumpkin seeds, and oats) help your body make melatonin and serotonin. Avoid big heavy meals or caffeine too late in the day. A warm herbal tea before bed—like chamomile or passionflower—can also work wonders.

Absolutely! Your hormones love stable blood sugar, healthy fats, and stress management. Herbs like vitex (chaste tree), maca, or ashwagandha can support balance, depending on your needs. But the real magic comes from a whole-person approach—looking at sleep, gut health, stress, and liver detox pathways, because they all influence your hormones.

Think whole, colourful foods:

Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds

Fibre-rich foods like oats, legumes, and vegetables

Antioxidant-rich fruits (especially berries) to protect your arteries

Omega-3 fats from fish or chia/flax seeds to reduce inflammation
And of course, less processed foods, sugar, and trans fats. Your heart loves kindness in food choices—and in lifestyle too.
