I am a University Qualified Nutritionist who specialises in getting your body to function optimally. I do this by searching for root causes of your health issues, with functional testing, rather than just treating the symptoms.

I address the whole person, including your hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification and intestinal barrier systems. In order to restore balance to the systems of the body, I help you find the right healing diet, establish a healthy sleep routine, add in exercise & stress reduction recommendations, as well as prescribing natural supplementation protocols.

I work with you to address symptoms that often originate when the systems of the body are not functioning optimally. These include: Pre Menstrual Symptoms, Lack of or irregular periods, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Bloating Candida, Parasite & Pathogen Infections, Food Intolerances, Fatigue and / or Adrenal Dysfunction, Small Intestinal Overgrowth (SIBO). Other symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea.

This will differ from client to client, and depends on the severity of your symptoms, your individual protocol, test results and what recommendations were given. I will assess this on an individual basis to make sure it suits your situation.

Generally, I will see you for an initial consultation, then for a extended consult around a month later – after testing. From there, we typically catch-up monthly for a 3-6 monthly period of follow-up support. Everyone is different in their healing, how ever for Gut Health, usually there is a removing stage (3- 6 months) where we address pathogens in the body, and then there is a healing dysbyosis / bacterial overgrowth stage. The second stage (any where from 3-12 months) focuses on restoring balance to the different systems within the body. For Dutch testing and hormonal based healing protocols, we generally working within a 6 -12 month time frame.

All consultations are completed through Zoom Online Meetings (Voice and/or Face). This allows you to have the consultation in the comfort of your own home. It also allows you to show me any supplements your are taking, for flexibility around your work and family schedule and access to my support in a online capacity that cant be done in clinic.

Prior to your appointment, you must fill out your health questionnaire, have your video / voice function set up and be ready for my call at your appointment time. I prefer clients to be on their computers, this way you can access any documents, labs or protocols I have sent to you andwe can share screen when we delve into your lab results.

Most of our testing (besides blood tests) is able to be done at home and after your initial consult, I will organise for the test kit to be sent to your house.

Once we receive your results from the pathology lab, we will arrange a extended appointment to discuss your results and recommendations. If supplements or other products are required, these can all be ordered online and sent to your address.

A Dutch test takes 6-8 weeks, and a GI MAP takes 2-3 weeks.

Your health history & symptoms will guide which lab(s) we choose to run and how we develop the right protocol for you. The most common labs I run are:

GI Map by Nutripath and the Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones (Dutch)

How much do they cost? Labs are sold at wholesale price and cost between $200 – $400, this is paid directly to the lab. For more information please see the linked websites.

I use a combined approach that looks at the following areas when developing your protocol:

• Nutrition Recommendations to suit your healing stage. This may include diets such as low Fodmap, AIP, SCD, Paleo

• Stress Reduction Strategies

• Exercise Recommendations to suit your healing stage

• Sleep Habits to encourage healing Supplements – Herbal based, natural supplements to support digestion, healing, removing & repair

• Protocols such as – Anti Parasitic, Anti Bacterial, Anti Yeast
