Your Story Deserves More Than a Quick Fix
The naturopathic approach is different. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, I look at the whole picture: hormones, digestion, sleep, energy, mood, and the rhythms of daily life.
By listening to your story and considering every layer, we uncover the root causes of imbalance — and create a plan that restores health in a way that is sustainable and deeply personalised.
I know that it is possible to rebuild vitality.
I also deeply know that you can feel like yourself again.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I combine naturopathic foundations, Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, and functional medicine insights to create plans that are evidence-informed, compassionate, and tailored to you.
Functional Medicine Testing
Functional Testing vs. Standard Blood Tests
Regular blood tests (the kind you get from your GP) are designed to look for disease — things that are already outside the normal range, like anaemia, thyroid disorder, or diabetes. They’re essential for diagnosis and medical safety, but they don’t always explain why you feel unwell when everything “looks normal.”
Functional medicine testing takes a deeper, more holistic view.
It looks at how your body’s systems are functioning — not just whether something is broken. These tests can reveal patterns, imbalances, and early changes long before they show up on a standard blood test.
For example, they might explore:
How well you’re absorbing nutrients
Inflammation levels and detox capacity
Hormonal rhythm throughout your cycle
Gut microbiome health
Adrenal and stress hormone balance
Instead of simply saying “everything looks fine,” functional tests can show why you’re feeling fatigued, bloated, moody, or hormonally out of sync — giving us the insights to create a personalised, root-cause plan for your health.
A range of functional tests are available through the clinic. Interested? Book a free focus call.
Standard Tests
Working with your GP is one of the best ways to access a starter comprehensive set of blood tests.
GPs can order the full range of standard investigations (such as thyroid function, iron studies, blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney health, hormone checks, and immune markers), many of which are covered under Medicare in Australia.
This makes testing more affordable and ensures results are documented in your medical file. Another benefit is that most GPs are happy to provide you with a copy of your results if you ask politely, so you can share them with your naturopath or keep them for your own records.
That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. Some GPs may only order tests they feel are clinically necessary, which means certain functional or in-depth hormone or nutrient markers may not be included. Medicare also won’t cover every test — advanced or specialised ones (like DUTCH, stool analysis, or extended nutrient panels) are usually paid privately.
For this reason, many people combine GP testing for the essentials with naturopathic functional testing for deeper insights. This blended approach gives the most complete picture while keeping costs and accessibility in balance.
DUTCH Test (urine hormones & metabolites)
This test measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and their metabolites using dried urine samples collected over a 24-hour period. It’s used to give a detailed picture of hormone balance, stress response, and how the body is metabolising and clearing hormones — making it especially useful in fertility, PCOS, perimenopause, and adrenal fatigue assessments.
Female Hormone Panel
This is a blood test that a includes an oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone test, as well as an LH and FSH test. These sex hormones (in conjunction with adrenal and thyroid hormones) exert powerful effects on the body. Knowing the function and levels of these hormones is a positive step in creating hormone balance and achieving wellbeing.
The CDSA test (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis)
This is a detailed stool test that looks at digestion, absorption, gut bacteria, yeast, parasites, and inflammation markers. It’s often recommended for people with symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, food intolerances, or unexplained fatigue, since gut imbalances can drive not only digestive problems but also hormone issues, immune weakness, and skin flare-ups.
Day 3 Fertility Hormone Test
Testing on Day 2–4 of your cycle provides a baseline picture of your fertility hormones. This panel usually includes FSH, LH, and Estradiol, sometimes with AMH and Prolactin, to assess ovarian reserve, egg quality potential, and whether your hormones are in balance for healthy ovulation.
Comprehensive Thyroid Test
This advanced panel looks at thyroid function from multiple angles to give a complete picture of how well your thyroid is working. It includes:
Reverse T3 (rT3) & FT3:rT3 ratio – shows whether active thyroid hormone is being blocked, which can cause hypothyroid symptoms even when T3 and T4 look normal.
Thyroid Function Tests (TSH, FT4, FT3) – the key hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and energy.
Thyroid Antibodies (TPOAb, TGAb, TSI/TRAb) – screens for autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease that may be affecting thyroid health.
Well Woman Check
This is comprehensive blood test suitable for women of all ages.
This blood test establishes base levels of important biomarkers which can be actively tracked for changes.
It covers the essential blood tests to gauge overall well-being including a comprehensive female hormone screen, full blood count, cholesterol check, liver and kidney function analysis, vitamin D and iron levels, and a diabetes screen..
Tests you may not get with your GP
These are just some of the tests I often recommend — there are others we can explore if needed.
Your ToolBox
Nourishment as Medicine
Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing. The right nutrition plan doesn’t just fuel your day — it provides the raw materials your body needs to restore balance at the deepest level. Through thoughtful, evidence-based choices, we can calm inflammation, stabilise blood sugar, and support the delicate hormonal systems that govern energy, mood, and fertility.
Together, we’ll craft a way of eating that feels both restorative and realistic — one that works with your rhythms, not against them. This isn’t about rigid rules or deprivation. It’s about learning how food can help you think more clearly, sleep more deeply, and move through each day with greater steadiness and vitality.
Because when nourishment becomes intuitive, your body finally has the space to do what it was designed to do: heal, rebalance, and thrive.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine works in partnership with your body — not to override its symptoms, but to restore the balance it’s seeking. Each plant carries its own intelligence — a quiet, biochemical wisdom shaped by both nature and centuries of traditional use. Across cultures and generations, herbs have been used to calm the nervous system, support digestion, regulate cycles, and strengthen resilience. These traditions form the foundation of modern herbal practice, now supported by scientific research that continues to confirm what nature has long taught us: that the body heals best when supported, not suppressed.
Within each leaf, root, and flower are compounds that communicate directly with your body’s own systems — easing inflammation, modulating hormones, and gently guiding the body back into rhythm. This is where herbal medicine becomes both art and science: aligning the body’s innate capacity for balance with the subtle intelligence of plants.
The Right Supplements
Supplements can be powerful, but only when used correctly. Too often, women spend money on products that don’t work, or worse, cause harm.
In your plan, supplementation is carefully chosen using both testing and clinical expertise. That means the right form, in the right dose, for the right reason. Magnesium for sleep and stress, zinc for hormones, omega-3s for inflammation, or methylated B vitamins for detoxification — each chosen with purpose, not guesswork.
By combining professional insight with real data, your supplement plan becomes strategic rather than experimental — designed to correct deficiencies, enhance energy, and gently rebalance the systems that need the most support. Over time, this means fewer bottles on the shelf, better results, and a body that begins to respond with clarity and ease.
Emotional Healing
True healing doesn’t come from nutrition and supplements alone. Your nervous system, mindset, and daily rhythms all play a critical role in restoring balance.
That’s why I also weave in soft tools to support whole-body healing:
Meditation and breathwork to calm cortisol and reset your nervous system
Journalling and mindset prompts to process emotions and shift perspective
Acupressure and TCM-inspired practices to restore balance and flow
Gentle rituals and routines that help you feel grounded and supported
These practices are not “extras” — they’re what make healing sustainable.
