Hello, I’m Steph!
I’m a Naturopath, wife and mother of two boys.
I provide a mobile service to families within the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle region to eliminate the need for a babysitter and reduce the stress that often comes with trying to entertain kids during appointments! This way, they can be in their own safe space, play with their own toys, or even sleep in their own bed while we talk.
I’m passionate about helping parents, especially mothers, to reclaim their health. The way we do this is by finding the root cause(s) of your health issues and utilising naturopathic methods of healing to address them. These methods include herbal medicine, nutritional medicine (dietary changes and supplements), lifestyle modifications and, sometimes, homeopathy.
The reason I’m so passionate about this is because after I had my second child, I spent so much time looking after everyone else that I forgot to look after myself too. I completely burnt out. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed, depleted and eventually ended up with postnatal depression.
I know there are so many other mothers out there who are in the same position as I was, and whilst there are certain factors we can’t change (like more time in the day, more hands! etc.), there are things we can do to make sure your body is getting all the things it needs to heal and function well.
Reclaiming my own health has been a journey for me and one I continue to learn more about, but I hope I can help others begin their journey to better health as well.
As a mother, I am also passionate about children’s health - keeping them well, supporting them when they get sick and providing natural therapies for chronic childhood conditions.
I graduated from the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in 2018 with an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy. I am an Accredited Member of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS) which is Australia’s largest national professional association for natural medicine practitioners.
