I am devoted to working with people who are struggling to find a solution to their Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis or Rosacea.

My approach is Holistic, meaning I consider the entire person and delve deep into uncovering the underlying factors that commonly drive skin dysfunction - such as hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, poor sleep, allergies and digestive health

the process

1. Initial Consultation

This first session is where you share your skin health story and goals.

In the 90min session, we begin to decode your current concerns by taking a deep look into current and past health history (physical, mental & emotional), analyse pathology tests and review dietary and lifestyle practices.

2. Treatment Plan

The Treatment Plan is your personalized road-map to happy, healthy skin and will be emailed to you within 1 week of the initial consultation.

It is designed to be informative and provide you with achievable and actionable steps towards your skin goals.

3. Return Appointments

The frequency of follow up’s are dependent on your needs and are an opportunity to check in on how the treatment plan is working for you.

This is the time we discuss and analyse any test results, make adjustments to current recommendations and implement the next steps of your plan.

The healing power of nature is not simply a fantasy or dedication to ‘believing’. Naturopathic Medicine has traditional roots, yes, but has been and continues to be validated by scientific research that produces gold-standard evidence. Modern pharmaceuticals also utilise the isolated constituents of medical herbs, like Salicin from Willow Bark in Aspirin.
As a medical herbalist, I consider the traditional knowledge together with current evidence-based research to inform the strategies for client treatment.
