A couple of weeks ago, I did a lovely interview with Inner West Mums about the work I’m doing with MamaCare Health, and more generally about my life as an Inner-West Mama here in Sydney! You can see it on their website, but also read the full text below. __________ Tell us about yourself I’m […]

Winter Cleanse
This time of year brings with it, for many people, a feeling of hibernation… when everything tends to slow down and go inward. During the colder months, your body’s natural processes of digestion, detoxification and elimination can become sluggish – and not helped by the stodgy food and rich meals that many of us favour […]
Nourish the Mother
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
A couple of months ago, we ran a workshop in the clinic on home remedies and health tips for keeping kids healthy. It was great!… if I do say so myself. This week I recorded the information covered in that workshop into a 20 minute video presentation, which you can watch at any time! Naturally […]

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 […]
