Care That Meets You Where You Are
Whether it's your gut, your hormones, your skin or your energy that's asking for attention, here's how we can work together.
WHAT WE OFFER:
-
Your first appointment is a thorough deep-dive into your health goals, symptoms, medical history, diet, lifestyle and any current supplements or medications.
If functional testing would genuinely help us get clearer answers, we'll discuss it here.
Afterwards, you'll receive a personalised treatment plan by email - covering dietary advice, lifestyle recommendations, referrals and any herbal medicine or nutritional supplement prescriptions.
-
A 45-minute appointment for children 12 years of age and younger. We will go through symptoms, health history, diet, lifestyle and discuss any investigations that may be recommended.
This is a shorter appointment for little ones who usually have less health history to explore. We keep this appointment light and fun!
-
These appointments are where we review your test results, check in on how you've responded to treatment, and answer any questions along the way. Your plan gets adjusted as needed - based on your progress, your results, and what your body's telling us - so it keeps evolving with you rather than staying static.
-
For mild acute illnesses - think colds, influenza, COVID-19, gastro, or a HSV1/HSV2 outbreak.
We'll go through your history and symptoms, and you'll receive a treatment plan by email with recovery advice specific to your illness, plus any herbal medicine or nutritional support you need.
-
Sometimes the clearest way to understand what's really going on is to look under the hood. I may recommend:
Stool testing — gut microbiome mapping, parasite screening
Vaginal swab — vaginal microbiome analysis
Urine testing — complex UTI screening, thyroid cofactors, hormone metabolism testing (DUTCH)
Blood testing — general health markers (white cells, red cells, liver and kidney function, iron, B12, thyroid function), allergy testing
Hair sample — heavy metal exposure, tissue mineral analysis
Saliva testing — hormone profiling (female/male hormones, stress hormones), methylation testing
Pricing ranges from $70–$500 depending on the test. We'll only discuss testing options that genuinely align with your needs and your budget.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
-
Your first visit is a relaxed conversation about your health. I take the time to really listen - to your history, symptoms, lifestyle, diet, energy levels, gut health, stress and sleep, and what you've already tried.
Together we explore where things may be out of balance and create a personalised plan that feels supportive and realistic for you. This often includes nutrition guidance, herbal or nutrient support, lifestyle suggestions, and further testing if it will genuinely help.
-
Your initial consultation is approximately one hour.
That gives me the time to properly understand your story so we can build a plan that feels meaningful and sustainable - not rushed.
-
No referral needed - you're welcome to book directly.
If you're already seeing a GP or other practitioners, I'm always happy to collaborate with them.
-
Yes - I offer video and phone consultations for Australian and New Zealand residents.
Telehealth follows the same thorough, personalised approach as in-clinic visits, so you get the same level of care from home.
-
It depends on your health fund and level of extras cover.
Since July 2025, private health insurers have been able to include naturopathy benefits again - check directly with your insurer to confirm whether your policy offers a rebate.
-
Sometimes, yes. I may suggest functional or pathology testing - blood, stool, urine or other assessments - when it will genuinely help us understand the root cause more clearly.
I only ever recommend tests that are actually useful to you.
-
Not at all. Diet and lifestyle guidance always come first.
Targeted supplements or herbal medicine are added only where they'll make a real difference - never as the whole plan.
-
Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, naturopathy looks at the whole picture - how your digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, immune system, movement, mindset and environment all interact.
The goal is to understand why you're feeling the way you are, and support your body toward lasting balance rather than just managing symptoms.
-
Yes. Appropriately qualified naturopaths complete a university science-based degree.
My approach is grounded in current scientific evidence combined with a whole-person perspective, so recommendations suit your unique body and circumstances.
-
It varies from person to person. Some people notice meaningful shifts within one or two sessions; others benefit from ongoing support for longer-standing concerns.
We'll map out a realistic pathway together and only schedule follow-ups at a pace that feels right for you.
-
You're not alone - so many people come to me after trying different practitioners, diets, supplements and tests without much improvement. Often the missing piece is seeing the bigger pattern - especially around gut health, stress or hormones - and building a clear, step-by-step pathway that actually feels manageable.
-
Yes - it's one of the areas I work with most. Whether it's bloating, IBS-type symptoms, food sensitivities, reflux, constipation, or just a general sense that your digestion isn't quite right, we'll look at the underlying drivers and build a practical plan to address the cause, not just the symptom.
-
A list of your current medications and supplements
Recent test results — pathology, scans, reports
A food/symptom diary, if you have one
A list of your main health concerns and priorities
-
Safety always comes first. I'll review your current medications and health conditions before recommending anything.
If adjustments or monitoring are needed, we'll discuss it clearly - and I'm always happy to communicate with your GP or other practitioners where it's helpful.
-
Yes. I support children (with a parent or guardian present), and I work with women through preconception, pregnancy and the postnatal period. Care is always tailored carefully to each stage of life.
-
No. As a naturopath, I work with food, lifestyle, herbal medicine and nutritional support.
I don't prescribe pharmaceuticals, but I'm very comfortable working alongside your GP or specialist so your care feels complementary and well coordinated.
KIND WORDS FROM NICKY"Zoe completely changed how I think about my health. Within a few months of working together, my bloating and fatigue improved more than I thought possible. She's incredibly knowledgeable but never makes you feel like just another patient - I always leave feeling heard and genuinely cared for. Highly recommend!"
