Frequently Asked Questions

A women’s health naturopath looks at the whole picture of your health, not just one symptom or hormone. This includes hormones, digestion, stress, sleep, energy, metabolic health, nutrition, and lifestyle factors. My role is to identify whysymptoms are happening and support your body using herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and practical lifestyle strategies.

No. Many women come to see me because they don’t have a clear diagnosis, or their test results are “normal” but they still don’t feel well. Naturopathy focuses on patterns, root causes, and functional imbalances, not just labels.

Yes. I strongly believe in collaborative care. I’m happy to work alongside your GP or specialist and support you with complementary naturopathic care alongside conventional treatment.

Yes, I work extensively with perimenopause, which is often when symptoms first appear. This stage can start years before menopause and may include mood changes, sleep issues, weight gain, anxiety, heavy periods, or fatigue.

Yes. Blood tests don’t always reflect how hormones are functioning at a tissue level. Symptoms still matter. I look at hormone patterns, nervous system health, gut function, and lifestyle factors that influence how hormones behave in the body.

Yes. Naturopathic care can support women alongside MRT or the pill, helping with symptom management, nutrient support, digestion, stress, and overall wellbeing.

Herbal medicine has a long history and strong evidence base for supporting hormone balance, stress response, digestion, and nervous system health. Herbs are prescribed individually, based on your unique presentation.

Absolutely. Chronic stress plays a major role in hormone disruption, gut issues, fatigue, and burnout. Supporting the nervous system is often a key part of improving hormone and overall health.

Yes. The gut plays a critical role in hormone metabolism, inflammation, and detoxification. Digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation, reflux, or IBS-type symptoms can absolutely impact hormone balance.

Yes, particularly when weight gain is linked to stress, hormones, insulin resistance, or metabolic changes. My approach focuses on metabolic health, not restrictive dieting.

Not necessarily. I prioritise targeted, evidence-based supplementation, and always aim for the simplest and most effective plan possible.

When prescribed correctly and professionally, yes. I carefully consider your health history, medications, and individual needs to ensure safety.

Where appropriate, yes. This may include blood tests or functional testing. I only recommend testing when it adds value to your care.

Some women notice improvements within weeks, while others need more time depending on the complexity of their health concerns. Hormonal and chronic stress-related issues usually require consistent support over time.

Yes. My recommendations are grounded in traditional knowledge, modern research, and clinical experience.

Yes. Telehealth consultations are available in Australia.

Absolutely. My plans are designed to be realistic, practical, and sustainable, even for women juggling work, family, and life demands.
