Life is so busy and it can feel like a constant battle to find the energy to function when you are tired, stressed, overwhelmed or exhausted! I know it's so easy to grab a quick energy fix when you are feeling rundown, exhausted or burnt out. Most of these 'quick energy fixes' are full of sugar and are highly processed which isn't good for your digestive health, weight or your adrenals. It's important to eat a balanced whole food diet, whether you are a meat eater or a plant based diet.

Anxiety is a natural response to stress — but when it becomes chronic, overwhelming or begins to affect daily life, it's often a sign that your body and mind need deeper support.

In recent years, I’ve seen a significant rise in anxiety in women, men, and children — not just due to external uncertainty, but because of internal imbalances like nutritional deficiencies, mineral imbalances (such as copper/zinc), gut dysfunction, and nervous system overwhelm.

Through a combination of naturopathy, personalised nutrition, and my 2025 offering of Body Balance Treatments (which incorporate Muscle Testing, Reiki, Vibrational Medicine and energetic support), I help clients address both the physical and emotional root causes of anxiety — naturally and holistically.

Whether you're seeking clarity, calm, or a reset for your nervous system, I’m here to support your journey.

Stress is everywhere in our society, especially with snap lock downs and boarder closures along with the pressure to be vaccinated (I'm not anti vax) but I am seeing so much stress in regards to this with my clients and people that I meet. This is triggering so many emotions - sadness, grief, anxiety and anger.

Our skin is our largest organ and protects our internal organs from environmental toxins. The appearance of our skin is important especially for our self esteem, if you are suffering from acne, eczema or dermatitis this can cause added stress and can make these conditions worse.  Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition of the skin.

The cooler months can cause these conditions to worsen as the dry winds outside combined with warm rooms and/or electric blankets aren't kind to our skin. We also need to be mindful about what we apply to our skin as it is absorbed into our lymphatic system, blood stream and digestive system. Our endocrine system and hormones can be affected by what we put on our skin too. 

The food that we eat and what we drink also affects our skin. Have you noticed a link to what you are eating and how your skin reacts? 

There are many common presenting symptoms that both irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) have. These include - abdominal pain or cramping, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea or both, burping, flatulence, reflux and food sensitivities.

As a SIBO Naturopath I work with many people who have these symptoms as they have digestive issues. I find that it is important to be tested for SIBO, so that you are on the correct treatment plan as these symptoms are very common. Research has shown that 84% of people who have IBS and who do the SIBO Lactulose Breath Test (the most common one) test positive to SIBO.
