hi, im Kate.
your skin naturopath
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
(just to name a few!)

the process
-
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.
-
The Wellness Plan is your personalized road-map to happy, healthy skin and will be emailed to you within 1 week of the initial consultation.
-
The frequency of follow up’s are dependent on your needs and are an opportunity to check in on how the wellness plan is working for you.
Here we can make adjustments and take the next steps on your skin journey.
Naturopathic care focuses on supporting the natural healing processes of the body.
Informed by traditional knowledge and evidence-based research, I utilize Medicinal Herbs, Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine to help restore balance to your skin.
And each plan for treatment will be completely unique for every individual, considering their current health status and lifestyle.
Functional testing such as Complete Microbiome Mapping and D.U.T.C.H Hormone profiling are additional tools that can help reveal what’s going on underneath and hone our treatment strategy.
FAQs
Can I get help controlling symptoms such as itch while still addressing the root-cause?
Yes of course! While working on identifying & addressing the underlying driver/s of your skin concerns, there will also be tools to help you manage the symptoms you experience on a day to day basis. For example, many of the custom topical creams we blend and send out contain ingredients that help quickly soothe irritation and itch.
Are the custom topical creams you prepare steroid free?
Yes. All of the topical creams we custom blend for clients are free from pharmaceutical steroids and contain natural plant extracts.
Do I have to go Gluten and Dairy free?
The answer to that depends on your current state of health and history. Some individuals are more susceptible to the inflammatory effects of gluten, like those with autoimmune conditions. Some people have no issues with Dairy, while those that struggle with Acne might find it contributes to break-outs. Personally I don’t like to suggest lots of dietary restrictions, but sometimes a short period of avoiding trigger foods are necessary and can help get symptoms under control faster.
Isn’t Naturopathy just woo-woo magic?
I believe in the magic healing power of nature, but it's not 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. Did you know many pharmaceutical drugs are based on isolated herbal constituents, like Warfarin? We take the traditional knowledge and look at current evidence-based research to inform the our strategies for treatment.
