I help women uncover and address the root causes of gut, hormone, fertility, and vaginal health concerns.

Through personalised naturopathic care, I’ll help you understand your body and create lasting change.

Hi, I'm Jess

I’m a degree-qualified Naturopath and Medical Herbalist with a special interest in gut health and women’s health.

My approach is holistic and evidence-based – I aim to uncover and address the underlying causes of my clients' health concerns through comprehensive case-taking, functional and pathology testing, and individualised treatment plans.

Since graduating, I’ve supported hundreds of women across Australia and New Zealand and have had the privilege of receiving mentorship and advanced training from leading practitioners in the natural health field.

My clinical areas of focus include gut health, hormonal balance, thyroid and reproductive health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, and vaginal microbiome health.

My personal health journey is what led me to become a naturopath – learn more about how it shaped my approach.

Your gut impacts your whole body — not just digestion

Brain fog, low mood, fatigue, sugar cravings, joint pain, skin issues, frequent colds, and poor sleep can all be signs your gut is out of balance.

I see this so often with clients who feel like they’ve tried everything. Many of their symptoms improve once we uncover and address the root causes with personalised care ☺️

Just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it’s normal.

These symptoms can signal that something deeper is going on - they may point to conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS, thyroid imbalance, or nutrient deficiencies 💊

If you’re struggling with any of these, know that you don’t have to just “put up with it.” The right practitioner will take your concerns seriously and investigate further 🔎

If you think these gut symptoms are normal, you might be missing what your body is trying to tell you 👋🏽

1. Bloating after meals - suggests poor digestion, bacterial overgrowth, or food sensitivities.

2. Heartburn or reflux - can signal impaired digestion, low stomach acid, or an H. pylori infection.

3. Excessive or smelly gas - often caused by fermentation of poorly digested foods and an imbalanced microbiome.

4. Bad breath - often linked to imbalances in oral or gut bacteria, poor digestion and can be a sign of an H. pylori infection.

5. White tongue coating - may indicate microbial overgrowth in the mouth or gut, or sluggish digestion.

6. Food sensitivities - often linked to intestinal permeability/“leaky gut”, poor gut immunity, and low microbial diversity.

7. Low iron and other nutrient deficiencies - can indicate gut inflammation, leaky gut, or microbial overgrowth interfering with absorption.

8. Sugar cravings - certain gut microbes and yeasts thrive on sugar and can drive cravings when overgrown.

9. Skin issues (acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis) - gut inflammation and dysbiosis often show up on the skin.

10. Anxiety, depression, low mood - gut microbes communicate with the brain, influencing thoughts, emotions, and behaviour through the gut-brain axis.

These symptoms are common, but not normal - your body may be signalling that your gut is out of balance 🦠

Here are some hidden disruptors of your gut microbiome 🦠

Gut dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome. This can look like an increase in “bad” microbes, a reduction in beneficial bacteria, or a loss of overall microbial diversity.

This imbalance can disrupt healthy gut function and is linked with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and conditions such as IBS, IBD, obesity, diabetes, immune dysfunction, skin issues, mood imbalance and more.

Common causes of gut dysbiosis include frequent antibiotic use, long-term medication use, alcohol and a poor diet - but there are also less obvious factors too.

When I work with clients, I consider the whole picture - diet, lifestyle, environment and daily habits. This leads to long-term, sustainable improvements 😌

As a naturopath, I’ve learned the importance of building a consistent daily routine. Here are some simple habits that optimise health and well-being:

🏋🏽‍♀️ Starting the day with movement improves mood and mental clarity

🥣 Eating a protein-rich breakfast regulates blood sugar and sustains energy levels

🍵 Tailored supplements and herbal medicine can help fill nutritional gaps and optimise health

🍽️ Balanced meal prepping reduces stress and frees up time for other things

🥑 Whole foods are nourishing, minimise inflammation and optimise gut health

☀️ Sunlight exposure and time outdoors helps improve energy and mood

🛌 Watching the sunset helps to reinforce a healthy circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality
