Naturopathic Consultations

Investment: $200
This is where we begin your healing journey.
The initial consultation is a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. I review any existing pathology results you have and recommend any further functional or pathology testing if clinically indicated.
Within 1-2 days of your initial consultation you will receive
- A clear, structured initial care plan, or
(For more complex cases) initial symptom support strategies and detailed instructions for the next steps, while we gather more information through testing.
Investment: $115
In return consultations, we review your progress, adjust your care plan if needed, discuss any new symptoms or concerns, and analyse any test results received.
Typical return consultations are scheduled:
- 4–6 weeks after your initial consult
Every 6–8 weeks thereafter, depending on your treatment plan
Investment: $175
For more detailed follow-ups, such as:
- Discussing complex microbiome test results (e.g., Co-Biome gut microbiome analysis)
- Reviewing multiple new pathology reports
- Revisiting and updating care plans after a longer break from treatment - usually 12 or more months
Investment: $135
Focused, gentle consultations for children with gut or general health concerns.
My approach with children is low-intervention, supportive, and evidence-informed, with a strong focus on nutrition and lifestyle. (Nb. children with complex chronic health challenges and those over the age of 15 usually require a 60 minute initial consultation.)

Evidence-Informed Care, founded in Compassion

When you've been navigating complex health challenges, you deserve a practitioner who listens, thinks critically, and tailors care precisely to you.

At every stage, my goal is simple: to help you uncover the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide you toward sustainable, lasting wellness.

I offer professional naturopathic consultations both in person at Peninsula Herbal Dispensary (Mornington, VIC) and via telehealth across Australia

Functional Testing Services

Functional testing can provide vital insights into what's driving your symptoms.
I only recommend tests that are scientifically validated and clinically appropriate for your case..

Available testing includes (but is not limited to)

Hydrogen and Methane Breath Testing:
To assess for the presence of SIBO or IMO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, Intestinal Methane Overproduction).
Co-Biome Gut Microbiome Analysis:
Advanced assessment of your gut microbiota health, imbalances, and diversity.
Intestinal Permeability Testing:
To assess for increased intestinal permeability in appropriate cases. (Aka “Leaky Gut”).
Juno Bio Vaginal Microbiome Testing:
Cutting-edge analysis of the vaginal microbiome to support chronic BV, UTIs, and genitourinary symptoms.
MicrogenDX UroKEY Urine Microbiome Testing:
Comprehensive assessment for recurrent or persistent urinary symptoms.
Advanced cardiometabolic health markers such as HOMA IR & ApoB

Testing is always discussed transparently, with full consent, and only recommended when it will meaningfully impact your care plan.

My Approach: Why It’s Different

Underlying Cause Focused:

We look beyond the surface symptoms to understand and address the true underlying imbalances.
Evidence-Based Testing:

I use only validated, reliable functional tests - no hype or unnecessary expenses.
Low-and-Slow for Sensitive Systems

Gentle, supportive care designed for highly sensitive or complex systems.
Personalised Care Plans

Every recommendation - from supplements to diet advice - is tailored specifically for you.
Respect for Conventional Medicine

I work collaboratively with existing healthcare teams when needed, and carefully review and consider pharmaceutical interactions.
Sustainability Matters

I prioritise ethically sourced herbal medicines and minimising environmental impact.
