Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) - Balancing Body Chemistry
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an analytical test that measure the mineral composition of hair. It is regarded by many doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care. I use this test regularly with my clients both in clinic and online as HTMA gives a personalized interpretive test report that assesses your current mineral status, highlights areas of concern and recommends dietary changes based on your results. -
Lets make 2024 the year to embrace wellness
For most of us 2023 has been a year of surviving and not thriving as we have come out of our COVID years with a lot of uncertainty, fear and caution. What used to serve us in the past no longer cuts it for us now.
Most of us have embraced our rediscovered freedom and have travelled again, enjoyed celebrating with our friends and family at restaurants and live concerts. Some of us have already begun rebooting our health journey and searching for more in the natural health space to satisfy their curiosity.

Does your liver need some love?
I thought that January is the perfect time to celebrate our livers and show it some love as our livers really do work overtime especially during the holiday season and throughout the year.
There are many health conditions that are liver related that I treat on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Fatty liver disease, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, constipation, diarrhoea, tummy issues, insomnia, brain fog, itchy skin, acne, PCOS viral flare ups and cardiovascular health are some of the conditions that I work with in clinic.

Are you tired of being tired?
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.

What is Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects up to 1 in 10 girls and women in their reproductive years. PCOS is an endocrine disorder. There are four types of PCOS - Insulin Resistance, Post Pill PCOS, Inflammatory PCOS and Androgen PCOS. If you have symptoms of PCOS and it's not PCOS this can be due to Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea due to undereating.
