I truly believe in a holistic healthcare philosophy that treats both the body and the mind.

To me, it's common knowledge that our body and mind are deeply interconnected. For instance, have you ever heard of the saying 'I have butterflies in your stomach'? That feeling arises from an intricate dance of hormones, chemicals, neurons, blood cells, and organs, all of which are influenced by our thoughts, actions, nutrition, and daily practices. So, in my view, if we address a physiological issue like irregular periods, acne or gut issues, we must also consider the mind - its habits, thoughts, nourishment, and overall well-being.

My focus is on optimizing physiology, not just avoiding disease.

Sure, it's vital to do our best to prevent conditions like CVD, Diabetes, and Atherosclerosis, but what about those of us who are just ‘moderately healthy’? Our blood tests may be ‘normal’, but we still don't feel entirely well. We might have messy cycles, struggle with fertility, experience chronic pain, stress, or frequent infections. I believe in living a truly healthy life, not settling for just being "healthy enough".

In my practice, I embrace integrative medicine, recognizing that no single healthcare provider can be an expert in all areas.

I appreciate the value of various health professionals, be they psychologists, physiotherapists, naturopaths, doctors, acupuncturists, etc. I will always refer my clients to the appropriate specialists when necessary.

I've witnessed a gap in traditional healthcare.

When dealing with my own challenges of PCOS, hormonal acne, and other debilitating symptoms, I felt frustrated by hearing the same generic advice from my health providers, such as "Just lose some weight", "If your mum had it, you will too" or “It just is”. It wasn't until I visited my Naturopath, Holistic GP, and Psychologist that I truly understood the importance of holistic care, especially for treating hormonal issues.
