Root-cause care from a Perth naturopath with 20+ years’ clinical experience

Tired all the time, even after sleep? Living with brain fog, fibromyalgia, long covid symptoms, or an autoimmune condition that conventional tests can’t explain? You’re not imagining it — and you’re not out of options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral to see a naturopath in Perth? No. You can book directly — no referral needed.

Can a naturopath help with long covid? Many people with ongoing post-covid symptoms — fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness — find naturopathic support helpful alongside their medical care. Treatment usually focuses on immune regulation, mitochondrial support and gut health.

What’s the difference between a naturopath and a functional medicine practitioner? There’s a lot of overlap. Both look for the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them. Functional medicine leans more heavily on advanced laboratory testing to guide treatment, which I incorporate into my naturopathic consultations.

Do you offer telehealth if I’m outside Perth? Yes. I see clients across Western Australia and the rest of Australia via telehealth, with the herbal dispensary posting directly to you.
