I wrote an article recently, for Mouths of Mums, on the importance of nourishing mothers. A topic I feel very passionate about! Why? Because… Oftentimes, when it comes to self-care, nurturing and support, mothers miss out. Not on purpose, not by design, but often by default: the needs of other family members – particularly infants […]

China calling
I am deep in acupuncture study at the moment, as I’m about to head to RMIT for mid-year exams, then almost immediately off to Guangzhou for an internship at a TCM* hospital. Am excited! Am bamboozled. But, I’ll get there! Integrating all this new information into my clinical experience and existing practice is interesting. Sometimes I […]
Pyrmont drop-in baby clinic
Have a baby? Based in the inner city / inner west? This news is for you: we’ve started a free drop-in baby clinic in Pyrmont. There are very few of these in this part of Sydney, so we (me / MamaCare / ChiroHQ) wanted to offer this service for our local mums, dads and bubs. The drop-in clinic runs from 9am […]
Could you use a naturopath?
A lot of people I talk to have no idea what I do, or how it might be relevant to their life and health. They aren’t sure what naturopathy is and/or why they would see someone like me. That’s fair enough. If you haven’t experienced it before, holistic medicine can seem a bit weird. Why […]
Flu busting brew: oxymel
At last week’s Natural Immune Health workshop, we went through some of the best home remedies and natural strategies for warding off coughs and colds. One of the things I discussed, and had on hand to taste, was a garlic and ginger oxymel. This potent home remedy has ingredients that offer antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing […]
Free webinar: naturally healthy kids

Kinderling Conversation: Postpartum
Last month I went into the Kinderling studios, here in Sydney, and talked with host Shevonne about the changes women go through after birth. And the pressures many of us feel to get ourselves together – physically, emotionally and mentally – soon after the birth of our babies. Too soon, in my opinion. There is […]
Why I started MamaCare Health
At the start of this year, I launched a new business, an extension of my current clinical practice: MamaCare Health Services. You would have seen me blagging on about the launch giveaway I was doing, and I have since been sharing lots of info about MamaCare – and related mother-centric topics – on social media… but […]
Coffee and Pregnancy
Today I’m reposting this blog from a couple of years ago, because I have been talking to many people about caffeine, pregnancy and breastfeeding of late. A regular topic of conversation! ________ There are lots of ‘dos’ and ‘donts’ that you will face as soon as you fall – or plan to fall – pregnant. Lists of […]
