✨ New booking system ✨

💻 Easy online booking, cancelling & rescheduling 📦 Order supplements direct 📞 Built-in Telehealth video calls 💳 Automatic payments
📋 Simple to use questionnaires
✉️ Direct messaging with me

⏰ please note that our late cancellation and no show policy hasn’t changed however will be automatically managed through the system. This helps to keep appointment times available for others who need them and frees my time to focus on healthcare instead of admin 💚

Do you have a mystery rash? 🤕

Nickel is one sneaky unsuspecting contact allergens. It hides in jewellery, coins, zips, and even some foods like nuts and chocolate. For some people, exposure can cause eczema like rashes, itching and irritation that just won’t seem to heal.

As a naturopath and functional medicine practitioner, this is one of the many considerations I look at when supporting reactive skin and gut.

Managing nickel sensitivity isn’t just about avoiding certain metals or foods, it can also involve supporting your skin barrier, calming your immune response and optimising your nutritional status so your body is more resilient.

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained skin irritation, it may be worth exploring whether nickel could be the trigger. 💡

This kits can also be great to assess if your jewellery contains nickel too.

✨ 15 years in clinical practice… and I’ve seen many weight loss fad diets come and go ✨

But here’s the truth 👉 real, sustainable weight management isn’t about the latest trend or just cutting calories.
It’s about your whole health: 💪 Metabolic function  😴 Quality sleep 🥗 Nourishing nutrition 🧘‍♀️ Stress & hormone support
🏃‍♀️ Optimal movement 
In my clinic, I don’t do quick fixes that leave you regaining weight. I take a holistic approach to help your body thrive long-term whilst achieving your target results.

💡 Did you know there are natural ways to support GLP-1 (yes, the same pathway those weight loss meds target)? It’s just one of the many strategies I can use to help you feel your best.

📖 Want to learn more? I’ve written an article on natural GLP-1 alternatives + holistic weight management — link in bio!

🌿 How to Stop Your Supplements from Spoiling!

As someone who works behind the scenes in formulation, quality assurance, and safety for several supplement brands, I wanted to share this with you…

🔍 Did you know? In stability testing, we use 40°C and 75% humidity to accelerate shelf-life testing. This extreme environment can cut a product’s shelf life in HALF! 😱

So if you live in a warm or humid climate, how you store your supplements really matters.

👉 Are you guilty of any of these storage mistakes? Let me know in the comments!

Have you ever felt dismissed or unheard when seeking help for your health? 🤔

Too often, I hear stories like this from clients—feeling like their concerns aren’t taken seriously. But when you know something is wrong, you deserve to have it thoroughly investigated, without being made to feel difficult or challenging. 🩺

The burden on the healthcare system shouldn’t determine whether you receive the care you need or not. ⏳

This is where functional medicine can step in, helping uncover answers that might otherwise go unnoticed. At the very least, you’ll have someone in your corner, advocating for you. ⚕️💪
