How a Naturopath Can Support Your Skin Journey

A naturopath looks beyond the surface to understand the bigger picture of your skin health. Through a thorough, holistic assessment — and where appropriate, comprehensive testing — we uncover the underlying causes of imbalance.

From there, you’ll receive a personalised plan tailored to your needs. This may include nutritional guidance, herbal medicine, and carefully selected supplements designed to support your body’s natural healing from within.

Education and empowerment are at the heart of this approach. You’ll gain the knowledge and practical tools to better understand your skin, make lasting changes, and enjoy healthier, clearer skin for the long term.

Healthy skin starts from within. Let’s find your glow.

Your va**na has its own ecosystem!

It’s called the va**nal microbiome – a community of good bacteria (mostly Lactobacillus) that protect you every single day.

A balanced va**nal microbiome means:
✨ Fewer infections & thrush
✨ Better fertility outcomes
✨ Natural pH protection

But things like antibiotics, stress, hormonal changes & harsh products can disrupt that balance.

The good news? You can support your microbiome naturally with nourishing foods, gentle care, and lifestyle habits.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Digestion 🦠

Did you know that a splash of apple cider vinegar before meals can be a gentle digestive?

From a naturopathic perspective, ACV may:
🌿 Support stomach acid for better protein + mineral absorption
🌿 Reduce bloating and gas by improving food breakdown
🌿 Encourage digestive enzyme and bile flow
🌿 Provide “mother” cultures for a healthier gut environment
🌿 Help balance blood sugars after meals

👉 How to use: Dilute 1–2 tsp in a glass of water 10–15 mins before meals.

⚠️ Not suitable if you have ulcers, severe reflux or gastritis. Always protect your teeth by rinsing afterwards.

Small changes = big support for your gut

Big News for Natural Health in Australia! 🌿

I’m thrilled to share that private health insurance rebates for naturopathy (and other natural therapies) will be coming back!

This is a huge win for our community and means that soon, many clients will once again be able to claim rebates for naturopathic consultations under their extras cover.

It’s been a long time coming, and but so grateful to see natural therapies recognised again for the value they bring to holistic health and wellbeing.

What this means for you:
✔️ More affordable access to naturopathic care
✔️ Recognition of evidence-based natural therapies
✔️ A stronger step toward truly integrative healthcare in Australia

Stay tuned as private health insurers roll out the details—i will keep you updated as soon as rebate claiming becomes available.

✨ Let’s talk period care options ✨

Every body is unique — and so is the way we choose to care for ourselves during our cycle.

From pads & tampons - the traditional go-to’s,
to menstrual cups & discs - eco-friendly, reusable choices,
to menstrual un**es -comfortable and low-waste,

There’s no one-size-fits-all. The best option is the one that feels right for YOUR body, lifestyle, and values.

As a naturopath, I encourage you to:
🌱 Choose products that are gentle on your body - fragrance-free, non-toxic where possible.
🌱 Explore sustainable options if that feels aligned for you.
🌱 Remember — comfort and confidence come first.

🩸 Which period care option do you currently use? 👇🏽

✨ The Gut–Hormone Connection ✨

Did you know your gut and your hormones are deeply linked?
When your gut is out of balance, it can show up as more than just bloating… it can affect your cycle, fertility, skin, and even mood.

Here’s how:
🌿 A sluggish gut can mean excess oestrogen isn’t cleared properly → leading to heavy periods, PMS, or sore breasts.
🌿 Poor digestion reduces nutrient absorption → leaving your body without the building blocks for hormone balance (think iron, B vitamins, zinc, magnesium).
🌿 Gut inflammation can trigger stress hormones → making perimenopause symptoms, mood swings, and fatigue worse.

When you support your gut, you support your hormones too. Simple steps like:
✔️ Eating plenty of fibre (veggies, wholegrains, legumes)
✔️ Including fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir, miso)
✔️ Managing stress + sleep

… all lay the foundation for steadier cycles, smoother transitions, and better fertility outcomes.

✨ Your hormones don’t exist in isolation — they’re always listening to your gut.

Your Body is Always Talking — Are You Listening? ✨

Your body has a beautiful way of sending you messages long before things become a bigger problem.
Fatigue, bloating, headaches, breakouts, mood swings, restless sleep — these aren’t “just part of life,” they’re little whispers from your body asking for support.

From a naturopathic perspective, these signs are your body’s language — telling you something is out of balance, whether it’s your digestion, hormones, stress levels, or nutrient needs.

Instead of pushing through or masking the symptoms, pause and ask:
💬 What is my body trying to tell me?

By tuning in and addressing the root cause, we work with the body — restoring harmony, vitality, and long-term wellbeing.

🌿 Remember: Symptoms are not the enemy, they’re the guide.

✅ Why Liver Support Is Important from a Naturopath POV

The liver is your body’s main filter and metabolic powerhouse, processing everything from:

• Hormones (especially oestrogen)
• Environmental chemicals (pesticides, pollutants)
• Alcohol and medications
• Food additives
• Metabolic by-products

When the liver is overloaded or sluggish, symptoms might include:

• Fatigue
• Hormonal imbalance (PMS, acne, irregular cycles)
• Digestive issues (bloating, constipation)
• Skin conditions (eczema, acne)
• Brain fog
• Trouble losing weight

🌿 How Naturopaths Support the Liver

1. Dietary Foundations
• Focus on whole foods: vegetables (especially bitter greens like rocket, dandelion), good-quality proteins, and healthy fats.
• Reduce processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, and refined sugar.
• Increase sulfur-rich foods: garlic, onions, cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower).
• Add lemon water or apple cider vinegar before meals to stimulate digestion

2. Herbal Medicine
• Milk Thistle - antioxidant-rich, helps protect and regenerate liver cells.
• Dandelion root – supports bile flow and digestion.
• Turmeric – anti-inflammatory and supports liver detox enzymes.
• Schisandra – helps with liver function and stress resilience.

3. Nutritional Supplements
• B vitamins, especially B6, B12, and folate – support detox pathways.
• N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) – boosts glutathione, a major liver antioxidant.
• Magnesium – supports energy and detox
4. Lifestyle Practices
• Regular movement to support circulation and lymph flow.
• Dry body brushing to aid detox pathways.
• Infrared saunas.
• Prioritizing sleep for overnight liver repair.
• Minimising chemical exposure (plastics, synthetic fragrances, etc.).

✨ When Liver Support is Especially Important
• Postpartum recovery (especially after hormone shifts)
• Hormonal imbalances (acne, PCOS, PMS, menopause)
• Skin breakouts or eczema
• After long-term medication use
• Post-alcohol or overindulgence periods

Your liver works hard for you — give it a little love 💚

Studies have shown that altered gut microbes have a direct influence on the levels of this chemical which can subsequently alter mood and behaviour. Furthermore, a damaged gut leads to inflammation, far reaching effects for your body, including your brain:
🧠 Brain fog
🧠 Anxiety and depression
🧠 Mood swings and irritability
🧠 Poor memory and concentration
🧠 Cognitive dysfunction

Physical, mental and emotional stress can directly affect your gut. Your body perceives stress as a potential threat – whether it’s real or imagined doesn’t matter - and it responds by activating your sympathetic nervous system’s ‘fight or flight’ response.

In doing so, it switches off the parasympathetic nervous system that’s required for normal gut function – including blood flow, motility and gastric secretions.

Digesting your food is not considered a priority for your body at this time. The main concern is conserving and redirecting energy to those functions required to deal with the stress at hand. Think faster breathing, heart rate and heightened sense of awareness and muscle tension.

When you experience stress – including low-grade chronic stress – your body also produces and releases hormones from your adrenal glands. The two main stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, make the body alert and prepared to face the threat. When they’re being constantly pumped around your body, they can also negatively impact the composition of your gut bacteria!🦠

Have you ever heard common expressions such as, a “gut feeling” or “gut instinct”; or having “butterflies” in your stomach when you’re nervous? These are more than just a figure of speech. The gut and brain are constantly in communication with one another – connected via the two-way superhighway of the vagus nerve, also known as the gut-brain axis. Along this pathway, messages are relayed from the depths of your digestive tract up to the highest regions of your brain.

The vagus nerve is part of your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, associated with ‘rest and digest’ – as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system responsible for the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response.

Did you know that gargling, singing, left nostril breathing and slow, deep belly breathing can all improve the function of your vagus nerve?!

If you’re experiencing digestive disorders, it’s not unusual to experience disruption to your mood and mental cognition too. Stress and mental health can affect your gut, and vice versa – the health of your gut can affect your state of mind.
