Empowering you to take control of your health through Naturopathic philosophy and Natural medicine

As a Degree qualified Naturopath with 20 years clinical experience, Amazon International No1 Bestseller Author, and the founder of EmpowerU Natural Health clinic in Lambton - Newcastle NSW
I have helped thousands of people like you regain their energy, health and happiness. It has been through my own healing journey with asthma, allergies, digestive problems, anxiety, addictions and autoimmunity that led me to natural medicine. In every client I work with I use cutting edge tools such as cellular health analysis, live blood screening, iridology, genetic testing and other functional pathology to develop a personalised plan tailored specifically for you to maximise your health. This also helps you achieve a greater understanding of your own body, your own needs and your own patterns and empowers you to make the right choices for your health. In my practice I help people create Optimal Health across the Lifespan all the way from optimising fertility naturally with preconception health, creating naturally healthy kids to creating longevity as we age using food, herbal medicines, quality supplements and lifestyle advice.

Rethinking Cholesterol

Most people think cholesterol is either good or bad, but there’s a lot more to the story.

When I review blood tests, I’m not just looking at your total cholesterol number. What really matters is the balance between your HDL (the “good” cholesterol) and your triglycerides.

Ideally, your HDL should be higher than your triglycerides.
When that balance shifts, it can be an early sign of insulin resistance, long before blood sugar issues or metabolic symptoms appear.

Functional blood test analysis helps us see these early patterns and understand how your metabolism, hormones, and cardiovascular system are working together.

Because your blood work isn’t just about what’s high or low, it’s about what your body is trying to tell us.

And when we listen closely, we can prevent problems before they start.

Homocysteine is a blood marker that doesn't get a lot of attention, but it should!

It rarely gets tested because there’s no drug for it, but it’s one of the most valuable markers for heart and brain health.

It shows how your body uses B vitamins, detoxifies, and protects your blood vessels.

If it’s too high, we fix it naturally with targeted nutrition, not medication.

It's a simple test with big insights, that have an even bigger impact on your health. Ask me about it next time you are in clinic!

08/10/2025

When you get a blood test with your doctor, they check if your results are in or out of range. It doesn't often go beyond that.

When you get a blood test with me, a Naturopath, I look at what’s really going on.

Patterns in your blood results can show what’s coming years before a diagnosis — like raised insulin that can appear 7–13 years before diabetes.

It’s not about treating overt disease; it’s about preventing it before it becomes disease.

Your blood work tells a story. Are you reading the whole thing?

03/10/2025

Blood tests aren’t just about finding disease — they’re one of the most powerful windows into how your body is functioning every single day.

The difference lies in how we read them.
Instead of scanning for “red flags” and ticking boxes, I take a functional and holistic approach.

That means I’m looking for:

Patterns before problems — maybe your blood sugar is creeping up, or your thyroid is sluggish, even if you’re still “in range.”

Nutrient interactions — like how iron, B12, and folate work together to support energy and mood.

The why behind your symptoms — fatigue, headaches, anxiety, poor sleep — all of these can leave little “breadcrumbs” in your blood work.

Your body isn’t a collection of random numbers; it’s a connected system. When we put those pieces together, we can move from just managing symptoms to truly understanding what your body needs.

This is where functional analysis shines, it helps us catch imbalances early and build a plan to restore energy, balance hormones, support immunity, and keep you well long-term.

If you'd like your blood test read this way, please contact me today for an appointment!

Iron Studies – A Bigger Picture

When it comes to iron, most GPs will check your ferritin level and stop there. If it falls within the “normal” range, you’re often told everything is fine.

But iron health is so much more than one number.
As a naturopath, I look at the whole story your blood is telling:

Ferritin (your iron stores)

Serum iron (how much is circulating right now)

Transferrin saturation (how well iron is being transported)

Red blood cell health (how your body is actually using the iron)

Why does this matter? Because symptoms like low energy, brain fog, poor concentration, hair loss, or restless legs don’t always show up in ferritin alone. You could be told you’re “fine,” while your body is still struggling.

By looking at iron in context — and considering your diet, hormones, gut health, and overall wellbeing — we can uncover imbalances that might otherwise be missed.

That’s the difference between a standard check-up and a holistic analysis: instead of just asking “Is it in range?”, we ask “Is it optimal for YOU?”

30/09/2025

Let's chat about blood tests.

When you get a blood test back from your GP, they’ll usually say everything looks “normal.” But what does normal actually mean?

Standard reference ranges on your blood tests are based on the average of people who don’t have chronic disease — but that doesn’t mean they’re thriving or in optimal health. Most average people in western society are not within healthy ranges of most parameters, so blood test ranges leave a lot to be desired.

As a naturopath, I look at blood tests differently than your GP. Instead of just checking if you fit inside a broad range, I assess whether your levels are optimal for energy, mood, hormones, and overall wellbeing.

Because you don’t just want to be fine or normal. You want to feel your best!

If you'd like to have your blood pathology assessed for optimal wellbeing, please get in touch with me via DM,

Your Genes give us a roadmap to creating vibrant health.

When it comes to health, there’s no one-size-fits-all. That’s why I offer Fitgenes DNA profiling, a way to understand your unique genetic drivers.

With over 200 genes analysed, we can see how your body handles things like nutrition, movement, detox, sleep, inflammation and more.

This isn’t about random plans or guesswork. It’s about using your personal genetic data, so the choices you make actually work with your body. This allows us to create the changes you are seeking in your health.

If you'd like to have your Fitgenes profile done please get in touch with me via DM,

What’s actually in a Fitgenes Health & Wellbeing Report?

If you’ve ever wondered what your DNA can tell you about your health, this report gives you so much more than numbers.

With over 200+ genes analysed, you’ll receive personalised insights into areas like:

✅ Inflammation and how your body manages it
✅ Vitamin D receptors and absorption
✅ Fat & cholesterol metabolism
✅ Cardiovascular health
✅ Cell defence and repair
✅ Methylation (your body’s detox & repair pathways)
… and so much more.

These aren’t random stats that leave you guessing, they’re actionable insights. You’ll discover how your body is wired, so you can make informed choices around diet, exercise, and supplements that are tailored to you (not a one-size-fits-all plan).

Think of it as a user manual for your health, helping move you from guesswork with your healthcare to precision.

If you are curious about how the Health & Wellbeing Bundle or the Mega Bundle could support you, please send me a DM and I’ll walk you through the options,

Apologies everyone Facebook has been automatically inviting people who follow my page into my PAID private health reset program. I’ve been removing people as soon as I see it so please don’t get offended if I remove you from this group. Please if you see an invite to the health reset sep 25 just ignore. 🙏

Most of us have tried a diet, exercise plan or lifestyle change that worked for someone else but didn’t quite give us the same results.

One reason for this is that our bodies don’t all respond in the same way, and a lot of that comes down to our genes.

Fitgenes DNA profiling is a genetic test that looks at more than 200 genes and gives you detailed reports on areas like metabolism, vitamin needs, inflammation, cardiovascular health and more. Instead of guessing what your body needs, you can use this information to make choices that are more aligned with your own biology.

It’s not about predicting disease, it’s about building a personalised foundation for better health and longevity.

As a fitgenes practitioner, I love using this information to guide you on the best path forward for your body and it's individual needs. If you have any questions about the fitgenes testing, drop them in the comments section below!

The Health Reset is a kickstart, but the real magic happens when you keep weaving those practices into your daily life.

Simple, natural remedies can also become anchors for long-term health and vitality:

🍵 Herbal teas to calm the nervous system and support digestion
🌱 Daily movement that gets your blood and lymph flowing
🥗 Nourishing foods rich in micronutrients
☀️ Sunlight and grounding to keep your body clock in rhythm
💊 Targeted supplements where your body needs extra support, always with the guidance of your practitioner

These aren’t optional extras, they’re the foundation that keeps your energy steady, your immune system strong, and your mind clear as you move through the seasons of life.

If you'd love to learn more about this, my DM's are open,
