Areas of Interest

Navigating health challenges on your own can be confusing — as a degree-qualified naturopath, I take guesswork out of the equation and equip you with the tools to manage your wellbeing. You’ll receive a practical, deeply individualised plan to help you get where you want to be, covering everything from nutrition and herbal medicine to the right tests and supplements. I am particularly interested in infertility and recurrent thrush.

  • Fertility and preconception care with Sunday Naturopathy provides you with personalised insights into many aspects of your wellbeing and how they affect your fertility. You’ll also receive a clear and actionable plan to assist you on your fertility journey.

    Clients often report feeling more informed, empowered, and supported on what can sometimes be a lonely and confusing journey.

    As I am firmly committed to providing high quality fertility care, I regularly pursue additional training in this area.

    I offer one-one-one fertility care for men and women, as well as couples appointments.

  • 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. Conditions I can help you with include:

    • Thrush/recurrent thrush

    • Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

    • Painful sex

    • Vaginal dryness

    • Aerobic vaginitis

    • Recurrent UTIs

  • Skin conditions usually run more than skin deep. I help you regain confidence in your skin through a highly personalised ‘root cause’ approach.

    The aim of a root-cause approach is to create lasting change — it's important to remember that it's not always a quick fix. The greatest benefits come from fully committing to your treatment plan and attending regular appointments.

    You’ll receive a tailored skin heath plan that targets the underlying cause, learn about your skin and how to maintain its health long-term, and receive support every step of the way.

  • Your menstrual cycle is an important reflection of your overall wellbeing (think of it as your fifth vital sign). A great deal of my time with clients is spent investigating and finding solutions for reproductive issues, including:

    • PCOS

    • Endometriosis

    • PMS

    • Heavy or irregular periods

    • Painful periods

    • Transitioning off the pill

  • I provide holistic, patient-centred care to support you through every stage of pregnancy, through to postpartum.

    Through herbal medicine, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle support, I help you to find relief from common pregnancy discomforts, feel stronger and more energised, and prepare your body for birth - all the while promoting better lifelong health for your baby.

  • Persistent gut issues like IBS, reflux, abdominal pain, bloating or chronic constipation/diarrhoea almost always require further investigation.

    I will take you through a comprehensive health assessment and help you to identify triggers and drivers of your condition. Your health plan will consist of targeted symptom relief in addition to long-term gut health strategies.

    In some cases, I’ll refer you for microbiome testing to help you to understand your digestive health on a deeper level.

I know what it’s like to know something isn’t right, but not know where to turn for help - because I’ve been there. I remember feeling like there was nowhere left to turn, and that my concerns weren’t being taken seriously, let alone properly investigated!

If you relate to any of that, you’re in the right place — I consider it my personal mission to get answers for my clients, just as a naturopath once did for me.

While working with me, you’ll be empowered you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your health (because you deserve it) - and I’ll be your #1 cheerleader on your wellness journey!

Client Feedback

  • 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. Not only did she address my skin concerns, but she also helped tackle my sugar cravings, which had been a persistent challenge for me.

    Hannah

  • 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 💛
