Areas of speciality:
-
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, we uncover what’s driving the imbalance, from microbiome disruption to hormonal shifts to lifestyle factors.
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.
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.
-
Your gut health is the foundation of your overall wellbeing. Persistent digestive issues - whether it’s IBS, reflux, bloating, abdominal pain, or chronic constipation and diarrhoea - are often signs of an underlying imbalance that requires deeper investigation.
I work with you to:
Identify the root cause – Through a comprehensive health assessment, we uncover the key triggers and drivers of your gut symptoms, from food intolerances to microbiome imbalances.
Provide targeted symptom relief – While addressing the root cause is essential, I also focus on easing discomfort in the short term, so you can feel better sooner.
Support long-term gut health – Sustainable improvements come from a personalised approach, incorporating diet, lifestyle, and evidence-based strategies to strengthen digestion and restore balance.
Offer microbiome testing where needed – In some cases, further testing provides valuable insights into your gut health, allowing for a more precise and effective treatment plan.
-
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.
-
Skin conditions usually run more than skin deep. I help you regain confidence in your skin through a highly personalised ‘root cause’ approach.
I work with you to:
Identify the underlying cause – We’ll uncover what’s driving your skin to flare up — from hormonal imbalances to poor gut health and beyond.
Create a personalised skin health plan – Your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, addressing the root cause while also supporting your skin barrier and overall wellbeing.
Support long-term skin health – True change takes time, and the best results come from consistency. I guide you through every step, helping you understand your skin and how to maintain its health long-term.
Provide ongoing support and adjustments – Healing isn’t always linear, and your needs may evolve. Regular check-ins allow us to refine your approach for the best possible results.

Gemma McLeod
BNatMed, nNMHNZ
Clinical Naturopath & Nutritionist
I know what it’s like to feel unheard, frustrated, and exhausted — because I’ve been there. When I was diagnosed with POTS, I was left searching for answers, only to feel dismissed and stuck.
That experience fuels my mission: to make sure my clients never feel that way. You deserve real answers, real solutions, and a practitioner who truly listens.
With me, you won’t just get a plan — you’ll get the knowledge, tools, and support to take control of your health. Because life’s too short to feel anything less than your best.

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 💛
