Areas of Focus:
-
Vaginal disorders (particularly those that are recurrent) tend to be poorly managed with conventional treatments, leaving you stuck in a frustrating cycle of remission and recurrence.
Because of the multifactorial nature of vaginal disorders, they are well suited to a holistic approach. I work with everything from recurrent thrush to bacterial vaginosis (BV) and recurrent UTIs.
I work with you to:
Identify the root cause – Whether it’s bacterial vaginosis (BV), thrush, aerobic vaginitis, or recurrent UTIs, together we’ll uncover what’s driving the imbalance.
Restore microbial balance – A healthy vaginal microbiome is key to preventing infections. I help you support beneficial bacteria, address overgrowths, and strengthen your natural defenses.
Reduce recurrence naturally – I provide long-term strategies to keep symptoms from returning based on your root cause.
Improve comfort and confidence – Whether you’re dealing with dryness, pain, or discomfort, I help you find solutions that prioritise both symptom relief and long-term wellbeing.
-
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Because PCOS presents differently in each person, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. Instead, I focus on:
Identifying your unique drivers – PCOS has multiple underlying causes, from insulin resistance to inflammation to adrenal dysfunction. Understanding your specific triggers is key to effective treatment.
Restoring hormonal balance – Whether your cycle is irregular, absent, or unpredictable, I work with you to support ovulation and improve menstrual health.
Managing symptoms naturally – Acne, weight changes, hair loss, and fatigue can all be part of PCOS. I help you navigate these concerns with evidence-based, practical solutions.
Supporting fertility (if that’s your goal) – If you’re trying to conceive, I can help optimize ovulation, egg quality, and overall reproductive health.
A sustainable, whole-body approach – PCOS is more than just a reproductive condition; it’s connected to metabolic and gut health. I take a holistic approach to ensure long-term results.
-
Hormonal and reproductive health issues like PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, or painful and heavy periods can take a significant toll on your well-being, leaving you feeling frustrated and uncertain about where to turn for help.
I offer a personalised, root-cause approach to help you get to the bottom of these issues and provide you with the tools and guidance to manage them long-term. My goal is to empower you with a clear understanding of what's happening in your body and how to restore harmony, so you feel your best.
I work with you to:
Uncover the underlying drivers – Whether it's thyroid concerns, poor detoxification, or the impact of stress, we’ll identify what’s driving your symptoms and create a practical, actionable plan to address it.
Create a tailored treatment plan – Your unique needs and health goals come first. Together, we’ll integrate evidence-based therapies, including herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments, to support your specific concerns.
Support long-term health and well-being – Rather than quick fixes, I focus on sustainable improvements that help you achieve lasting results and avoid future issues — ultimately saving you time and money.
Offer ongoing support – I’m with you every step of the way, adjusting your plan as needed and providing continuous support to ensure you stay on track toward long-term health.
-
Whether you're planning to conceive, navigating fertility challenges, or expecting, I provide holistic, patient-centred care to support you through every stage of your journey.
I work with you to:
Enhance fertility and preconception health – Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, undergoing IVF, or experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, I help you identify and address the factors that impact your fertility.
Create a personalised plan – Together, we’ll develop a clear, actionable plan to optimise your health, combining herbal medicine, supplementation, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments tailored to your needs.
Support your pregnancy and postpartum journey – I provide ongoing care during pregnancy to help you manage discomfort, feel more energised, and prepare for birth, with a focus on long-term health for both you and your baby.
Clients often report feeling empowered, informed, and supported throughout what can be a challenging and sometimes isolating experience.
With my commitment to high-quality fertility and pregnancy care, I continually pursue further training to provide the most up-to-date and effective support for individuals and couples.

Clinical Naturopath & Nutritionist
I know what it’s like to feel unheard and stuck. When I was diagnosed with POTS nearly 10 years ago, I spent years searching for answers when I found that medications addressed things only on the surface, and not for long.
That experience fuels my mission to ensure my clients never feel the same. You deserve real answers, practical solutions, and a practitioner who truly listens to your concerns. Specialising in vaginal and reproductive health, I’m dedicated to helping you navigate these often misunderstood areas with confidence and care.
With me, you won’t just receive a treatment plan — you’ll gain the knowledge, tools, and ongoing support to make lasting improvements in your health. Life is too short to feel anything less than your best.

Gemma is welcoming and creates a safe and serene space which made it easy for me to open up about my health concerns. Gemma has a vast knowledge and understanding of holistic health practices.

After just a few months of implementing a good quality supplement regime & herbal blend I have gone over a month without any symptoms - something I thought could never happen. I’m finally wearing the jeans I stopped being able to fit, am losing weight without trying to, not using steroid cream for my skin & am finally going the whole day pain free. Worth every penny 💛
