Hello my friends, Firstly, I hope you are well and taking care of yourselves as best you can through this challenging and stressful time. Like most of you, over the past couple of weeks I’ve had some unexpected challenges thrown my way and have had to significantly adjust my personal and professional life. This week, […]

Sydney & Clinic Return
Well, it’s just about time for me to return to Sydney! Three months have flown by and while we’ve been based in Oxford for the majority of our stay, we’ve also travelled around the UK and done a couple of short trips to Europe… making the most of being on this side of the globe! […]
Autumnal eating
As we begin moving into cooler weather here in Sydney, it’s a good time to look at what and how you’re eating. Different seasons bring with them different foods and flavours – which, interestingly, tend to match our nutritional needs. For example, throughout Autumn and into Winter, we see an abundance of fruits high in vitamin C […]
New Year. New Hours!
Now that my Masters is finished, and I’ve returned (refreshed!) from an end-of-year break, my full attention has turned back to clinical practice. This means I’m able to be *much* more available for appointments this year, offering naturopathy AND acupuncture… or a combination of both! So, you can now come in to see me on any of the […]
Refresh and Reset
Throughout September and October, we are running a Spring Cleanse program at the clinic, to help our patients transition out of the ‘hibernation’ period of Winter and into the warm sunshine of Spring! During the colder months, many of us can relate to feelings of sluggishness… and may have health complaints related to this: extra weight, […]
Drink. Up.
*yawn* I’m doing it again. Hustling people to drink more water. But seriously though, are you drinking enough? When you don’t drink enough, you will become dehydrated. Seems obvious, right? But did you know that EVERY system in your body depends on water. It is vital. Water carries nutrients out of your cells, it flushes […]
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 […]
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 […]
