I‘m passionate and dedicated to the world of fertility, IVF support, gynaecology, women’s and men’s hormonal health, children’s health and emotional/mental health. I want you to be all you can be; the very best version of you. I am an expert Naturopath and Dr TCM (Acupuncture) with 20 years experience treating 20,000 patients. I am a University lecturer having lectured Nutritional Biochemistry (and just about every other nutrition and food as medicine subject) at both Souther School Natural Therapies (SSNT) now Torrens, and Endeavour for the last 15 years. Through my love and skill for teaching, I was seconded to create and write the very first Nutritional Biochemistry course for SSNT which remains in use today. Having had my own fertility issues, and going through IVF, I get it. I get the disappointment, of every period coming. I get the stress and anxiety, anger and fear. I get that it seems everyone around you is suddenly pregnant, in your office, your friends (even the ones that never wanted kids!), women in your neighbourhood, and in the streets everyone is walking a pram! I had my own individual journey, and now I am a very proud mum of two beautiful children created using donor eggs from not one but 3 donor egg angels. I have my own podcast where I tell my story. I hope this inspires other intending parents to think outside the box in your endeavour to create your unique family. I am also an author, contributing 5 chapters (B1, B2, B3, B5 & Soy) to the highly regarded Herbs and Natural Supplements: An Evidenced Based Guide by Lesley Braun and Marc Cohen. Currently I am writing my own The Fertile You Diet, a clinically proven 100 day preconception diet to help you feel at home in your body and conceive more easily. Due for release 2022. I established my private naturopathy and acupuncture practice in 2002 and I uniquely combine an integrated approach to health through multiple disciplines. As Founder, Director and entrepreneur, I developed one of Melbourne’s leading natural health and fertility treatment clinics for women, men and children Carlton Natural Health, now The Fertile Project .
