You’ve tried the food eliminations. The supplements. Even the “gut healing” powders.
But the bloating, fatigue, and reflux won’t quit.
There’s a common gut infection I had myself — and it might be the thing behind your lingering symptoms.

Winter is here—and your immune system is your first line of defence. I’ve put together a free Winter Immune Kit filled with easy, natural ways to boost your immunity (no harsh cleanses or gimmicks).
Inside you’ll find:
• Key immune-boosting nutrients
• Functional foods to add to your plate
• Daily rituals to support your immune resilience
Your body usually whispers before it screams — the immune system is no different.
If you’re feeling “off” but not technically sick, don’t wait for it to escalate.
Watch for these early signs:
• 😴 Constant fatigue, even after rest
• 🦴 Body aches or random low-level soreness
• 🤧 Frequent sniffles or scratchy throat
• 💅 Brittle nails, slow wound healing
• 🧠 Brain fog or low mood
• 😷 Getting sick more often than usual
These are not just part of “winter.” They’re red flags your body is fighting harder than it should.

Supporting your immune system this winter doesn’t have to mean fancy supplements or strict routines.
Sometimes, it starts with what’s on your plate.
These foods help fuel white blood cells, calm inflammation, and nourish your gut (where 70% of your immune system lives).
If you want to stay strong through winter, start with your food choices — consistently.

Hi all, I’m Chantel and welcome to my page. I’m a lawyer turned naturopath, wellness coach and corporate wellbeing consultant who learnt the hard way that money and success do not equal health and happiness.
Now, I use my own experience and expertise to support you (and your employer) to make the changes needed to build healthier minds, bodies, workplaces and environments, so we can all thrive. Life is too short not to live your best life.
Naturopathic Services
I know life is busy and prioritizing your health, despite best intentions, can be hard. That’s where I come in. I’m your health detective and cheerleader for change. If you’re tired, burnt out, stressed, have a health condition, or just feeling blah, I can find out way and help you heal. Perhaps you know all the ‘right’ things to do for your health, but have trouble being consistent or finding balance (don’t we all?). We are so inundated with information on health and wellness these days that it’s hard to know what will work for you. That’s why I take a 360 look at your health so we can personalize a wellbeing plan to suit the unique person you are.
We’ll look at your health history, current lifestyle and dietary habits. I may order pathology, functional tests and/or genetic tests to get a better idea of what’s going on for you. Then we treat with scientifically proven natural therapies such as diet, lifestyle, botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation and mindset coaching.
These are just a few of the health conditions I treat:
Digestive issues and gut health including IBS and food intolerances
Stress, fatigue, burnout, unstable energy
Mood irregularities including anxiety and depression
Sleep issues including insomnia
Hormone imbalances -including menstrual irregularities, menopause, PMS, period pain, skin issues and fertility
Acute conditions like cold and flu, coughs, injuries.
I know it’s important to find a practitioner that’s a good fit which is why I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation. Book online and we can have a chat before you commit to a consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit first. I’m sure we will be!
Corporate Wellbeing
I offer corporate wellbeing services to businesses. With my background as a lawyer, I know what stressed and burnt out looks like and it isn’t pretty. Poor health leads to unhappy and unproductive employees, and companies shouldn’t risk losing good employees because they aren’t supporting their health and wellbeing. Smart companies know to invest in their greatest asset - their people. I can help you design and implement a workplace wellness program to meet your company’s unique needs based on budget, culture values, your employees’ health issues and your end goals.
