Naturopath with a focus on thyroid health. I have been in private practice since 2012, both in Melbourne and rural Victoria (Woodend, Gisborne). I also spent 3 years as the resident naturopath at a rehabilitation centre near Daylesford, treating patients with an array of mental health issues. I will listen, and work with you to develop an achievable treatment plan, encouraging you along the way. Simple and gradual changes to diet, lifestyle and habits, along with individualised herbal and/or nutritional supplements, will allow you to reach your full potential, both physically and emotionally. I am used to working alongside other health professionals (GPs, specialists, psychologists, osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, personal trainers) for best patient outcomes. I am committed to continual professional development, and am a member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association.
