Naturopath Consultations
Personalised support for IBS, SIBO, persistent digestive symptoms and women’s health concerns
MAROOCHYDORE · FOREST GLEN · SUNSHINE COAST · AUSTRALIA-WIDE TELEHEALTH
Many people arrive after trying several diets, supplements or treatment approaches without gaining a clear understanding of why their symptoms continue.
You may have been told that your results are normal, received a diagnosis such as IBS, or found that improvements never seem to last.
A consultation provides time to look at the full sequence of your health history, identify the patterns that appear most relevant and establish a practical place to begin.
My primary clinical focus is digestive health, including IBS, SIBO, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux and food-related symptoms. I also support women experiencing concerns such as PMS, painful or irregular periods, PCOS and perimenopausal changes.
Appointments are available in Maroochydore, at Kunara Marketplace in Forest Glen and by telehealth throughout Australia.
What happens during your initial consultation
Your first consultation is an in-depth review of your current symptoms, health history and treatment priorities.
Your consultation may include:
when and how your symptoms began
bowel habits, digestion and food reactions
previous illness, infections or antibiotic use
current medications and supplements
sleep, stress and nervous system influences
menstrual and hormonal patterns where relevant
previous blood tests, investigations and diagnoses
what you have already tried and how your body responded
The order in which symptoms developed often matters.
A digestive problem that began after gastroenteritis may need to be considered differently from symptoms that developed gradually during prolonged stress, after repeated antibiotic use or alongside a change in menstrual health.
The purpose is not to find an elaborate explanation for every symptom. It is to determine what appears clinically relevant and where treatment is most likely to be useful.
Why Work With Me?
Evidence-informed clinical reasoning
I draw on current evidence, naturopathic clinical assessment and the information contained in your individual history.
Not every symptom requires another diagnosis. Not every patient requires testing. Not every abnormal result is clinically important.
The value lies in deciding what information is most likely to change treatment.
Individualised, practical care
Recommendations are tailored to your health history, symptoms, goals and capacity.
You will not be expected to change everything at once. Treatment is prioritised so the most important steps are clear.
Consultation Options
Initial Consultation | 75 minutes
For new patients requiring a detailed assessment of their symptoms, history, previous investigations and treatment priorities.
Your initial consultation includes the development of an individualised treatment plan.
Follow Up Consultation | 45 minutes
For reviewing progress, discussing your response to treatment and adjusting recommendations as your presentation changes.
Treatment should not continue unchanged simply because it was part of the original plan.
Brief Review | Up to 30 minutes
Available for existing patients where a shorter appointment is clinically appropriate, such as a focused pathology review, prescription adjustment or brief progress review.
Functional testing
Functional testing may be considered when it is likely to clarify the presentation or meaningfully influence treatment.
Depending on your symptoms and history, this may include SIBO breath testing or comprehensive stool analysis.
Testing is not automatically required. In many cases, a careful clinical assessment provides enough information to begin with a focused initial plan.
Where testing is being considered, its likely value, limitations and cost will be discussed with you first.
I do not recommend a test simply because it is available.

Is this approach likely to suit you?
This may be a good fit if:
your symptoms are persistent or keep returning
you have tried several approaches without lasting improvement
food restriction is increasing without giving you clear answers
you want a detailed, structured assessment
you value testing being recommended selectively
you are prepared to work through treatment in stages rather than look for a single quick fix
