What to look for in a prenatal multivitamin:

✔️ Therapeutic doses that meet pregnancy needs
✔️ Nutrients in active, bioavailable forms e.g. activated folate
✔️ Low excipients - no unnecessary binders, fillers or additives

Practitioner-only formulations are created with these principles in mind, so you can feel confident you’re supporting both yourself and your baby in the safest way possible.

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes (the microbiome) that influence immunity, hormones, mood, skin and energy.

When the gut is out of balance you might notice symptoms like bloating, constipation, reflux, brain fog, fatigue or skin issues.

✨ Through naturopathy we can work to restore balance, support digestion and identify underlying drivers such as stress, inflammation and food triggers.

Your gut health matters and supporting it can improve many other systems in the body 🤍

Thinking of seeing a Naturopath but not sure what to expect?

The goal of working with a naturopath is to understand the why behind your symptoms and create a plan designed with your goals in mind.

🧩 In your first appointment we’ll discuss your concerns, health history, nutrition and lifestyle factors to help us understand the bigger picture and explore potential underlying contributors.

📝 From there we’ll discuss dietary strategies, lifestyle shifts and evidence-based treatment options to support you in moving toward your health goals.

✨ Please bring along any medications, supplements and test results (where relevant) so we can get the clearest picture possible.

A healthy gut microbiome supports so much more than digestion - it plays a role in immunity, mood, inflammation and how well you absorb nutrients.

It also contributes to hormonal balance. Certain gut bacteria are involved in the production and clearance of hormones, especially oestrogen. When the microbiome is out of balance it may lead to hormone-related symptoms such as:

* Irregular cycles
* Painful and/or heavy periods
* Headaches or migraines
* PMS symptoms (e.g. bloating, mood changes, breast tenderness)
* Fatigue

🌿 Understanding the connection between your gut health and hormones is a key step towards feeling more balanced in your body.

Perimenopause can be a challenging time to navigate, with hormone levels fluctuating unpredictably in the lead up to Menopause.

Naturopathic treatments aim to regulate the hormones and reduce the severity of symptoms using a combination of dietary changes, nutritional support and tailored herbal medicines.

I’m often asked for guidance about iron supplements as they are notorious for causing digestive upset.

Poorly tolerated forms have been shown to increase inflammation in the digestive tract, further impairing iron absorption.

When working with Clients to increase their iron stores (ferritin) I use a 3 tiered approach:

❇️ Increasing iron rich foods in the diet.

❇️ Utilising gentle forms of iron that effectively increase ferritin stores, often in combination with nutrients that hold iron in the body. Lactoferrin is particularly useful for this action.

❇️ Improving digestive function as your gut microbiome plays an essential role in iron absorption. Specific probiotic strains have been shown to reduce inflammatory markers in the digestive tract and enhance iron absorption.

Living in Melbourne we experience the highest pollen counts during hay fever season compared to anywhere else on earth. We have definitely earned the title of being the allergy capital of the world!

☀️🌧️ Our rapidly changing weather patterns further disperse these pollens, leaving 1 in 3 of us experiencing hay fever symptoms each year.

Naturopathy offers a number of effective treatment strategies to support allergy sufferers throughout this season.

Regulating immunity via the digestive system is key to addressing the root cause, while herbs and nutrients with natural anti-histamine activity play an important role in symptom management 🌿
