Holistic & evidence-based approach to healthcare for a better life

Based beachside in Coffs Harbour, NSW

1:1 naturopathic consultations

A holistic, evidence-based approach to healthcare. I consider your entire health history, diet, lifestyle, & environment in order to understand the root cause of your health concerns. I strive to uncover physical, emotional, and spiritual factors contributing to your current state of health. Information is gathered to create a unique prescription and treatment plan tailored to your individual needs utilising herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, food as medicine, and lifestyle advice. I work alongside your GP, specialist, psychologist, acupuncturist, and other health professionals to create a health team for holistic care.

Functional Testing

Abundance prioritises comprehensive functional testing to investigate underlying dysfunction. I assess for various biomarkers appropriate to your presenting health issues.

Common functional tests include: Organic Acids Test (OAT), Comprehensive Stool Analysis, SIBO testing, DUTCH hormone test, Cardio metabolic profile, Comprehensive thyroid panel, Genetic and Methylation testing. Routine pathology assessing for general health markers, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and organ or system specific testing are also invaluable to practice.

In person consultations

Book a face-to-face consultation at Shala Wellness, Coffs Harbour NSW. Currently taking consultations on Saturdays only.

Gut & Mental Health Focus

Gut-Brain Connection

I believe that gastrointestinal tract (GIT) health is paramount to one’s overall health & wellbeing. The state of our gut dictates digestion, nutrient absorption, energy & hormone production, immune function, and importantly, mental health outcomes. New research highlights the profound effects of gut health, & microbiome diversity on various health conditions such as depression and anxiety, as well as prevention/treatment of neurodevelopment (ADHD, ASD) disorders. I am interested also in how gut health affects female hormones, skin health, children, and immune health.

common areas for treatment

IBS, IBD, Coeliac Disease, SIBO, GERD, Chronic bloating, Food allergy/intolerance, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, ADD/ADHD, ASD, Endometriosis, PCOS, UTI’s, Acne, Chronic thrush, Menopause, Musculoskeletal disorders, Children’s Health, Pre-Natal & Post-Natal Care.

What is NMN? I work part time in a health food store, and have noticed a surge in people asking for NMN, noting how good they feel while supplementing. So let’s talk about it. NMN is absorbed and converted to NAD+ in the body (a coenzyme present within all living cells). An increase in NAD+ triggers shifts that enhance survival such as boosting energy production, and up regulating cellular repair. By middle age, our NAD+ levels plummet to half that of our youth resulting in epigenetic shifts, genomic instability, altered nutrient sensing ability, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, stem cell exhaustion, and decreased cellular communication. Taken orally, studies show that NMN increases NAD+ biosynthesis, suppressed age related adipose tissue inflammation, enhanced insulin secretion and action, improved mitochondria function, and neuronal function in the brain. Healthy aging comprises a vast range of factors. Supplementation is not a substitute for the real, honest work that you do to maintain health such as through diet, exercise, and mental health care. Be sure to discuss supplementation of any kind with a Naturopath or your healthcare provider. Click the link in my bio if you are interested in healthy aging practices, or supplementation.

Propaganda I’m not falling for (as a Naturopath) 1. Period pain is COMMON but it is not NORMAL. Period main ranging from minor to extreme suggests underlying dysfunction. 2. Bloating after everything you eat because “it’s always been that way”. Again, COMMON but not NORMAL. Bloating may be due to food intolerance, allergy, underlying digestive disorders, dysbiosis, poor stomach acid, poor bile flow, liver dysfunction, inadequate physical activity, inflammation, stress etc etc. 3. Herbal medicine “won’t fix my chronic health condition”. Herbal medicine is the traditional medicine. All of the herbs I use in clinical practice have been clinically trialled for efficacy and safety. Many are comparable to pharmaceutical medications/drugs, others are the original source for drugs. For example: Metformin, a popular modern drug for diabetes was originally developed from Galega officinalis (or commonly known as; Goats Rue) due to its proven effects on lowering blood glucose levels. 4. Only testing TSH on a thyroid panel. Argh! So frustrating. Testing TSH only, does not give us a whole picture of your thyroid function. It cannot diagnose conditions such as autoimmune thyroiditis, or if there is proper conversion of thyroid hormones happening. 5. Taking random probiotics or supplements off of the shelf. Particularly in supermarkets 😮‍💨 These products are full of CRAP!! Synthetic vitamins and minerals, poor forms that aren’t bioavailable, as well as additives, sugar, food colours etc etc. These products are not doing you any good at all, and I often see clients who are MUCH worse off because they decided to self diagnose. And of course, 6. Supplements made by influencers. Seeing as though I am constantly checked for my credentials, I am insured, and registered, so they should be too. Ask yourself, where did this person get their information? Do they have a health science degree alike a clinical naturopath? What are they benefiting from this? Influences want your money, and to continue an image for their career. Be careful with their propaganda! #healthpropaganda #naturopath #naturopathicmedicine #clinicalnaturopath #onlinenaturopath

A diet & lifestyle checklist if you have been diagnosed with endometriosis 🩵 Having endo is HARD, it is PAINFUL, and DEBILITATING. You often miss out on good things because you are in pain, the bloating is unbearable, and your anxiety just won’t allow it. You may be stuck in bed all day, or week, or month making up for the majority of a year, of a life. 1 in 7 women are estimated to have endo in Australia. This is based on those diagnosed in their late 40’s 🙄. It takes approximately 6-8 years for a diagnosis, with surgical intervention taking even longer. Hospitalisation rates have doubled in the last decade with women searching for help. What can a naturopath do? Naturopathic medicine is a wonderful adjunct in endo care, with a variety of treatment options. We use herbal and nutraceutical medicine, as well as diet and lifestyle interventions as described in the post to support the body’s healing processes, and treat the ROOT cause of your endo. As a naturopath, I am committed to working alongside your GP, gynaecologist & surgeon to create a supportive healthcare team. #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #naturopath #healingfromendometriosis #naturopathicmedicine #australiannaturopath #onlinenaturopath #abundance
