Professional Associations:
Australian Traditional Medicine Society Ltd
Australiasian Institute for Restorative Reproductive Medicine
Liz graduated from Endeavour College with a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy and is a full member with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. She has also completed studies in fertility awareness and is a certified Natural Fertility Practitioner and Billings Ovulation Method® practitioner.
Liz’s interests are varied and range from women’s health to sports nutrition, as she believes there is a place for natural health in all aspects of our lives. As life unfolds, we often realise there is no destination to complete and perfect health and wellness, rather our intricate bodies need continual, but changing support and nourishment. It is her priority to support this journey with simple and personalised naturopathic advice and treatment.
In addition to her work in naturopathy and holistic health, she has a special interest in natural fertility education. As a certified teacher in the Billings Ovulation Method®, she supports women and couples in understanding the natural rhythms of the female body. Her approach combines evidence-based fertility education with gentle, holistic naturopathic care, helping women feel informed, confident, and supported in their fertility journey.
My Approach
Herbal medicine
Herbal medicine may be a part of your consult prescription. The rationale informing Liz’s personalised naturopathic prescription is underpinned by both current scientific literature and thousands of years of traditional evidence.
Nutritional supplementation
Nutrition is the bedrock of our everyday health. It is also a foundational therapeutic avenue in many states of disease. You may be recommended nutritional powders, tablets or capsules as part of your individualised treatment plan.
Collaborative Care
Liz often works collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, such as medical doctors, to ensure comprehensive care for individuals. This may involve coordinating care and integrating treatments from multiple modalities.
Dietary recommendations
Our diets are essential in providing our daily nutrients and minerals impacting our short and long-term health. Simple, educative and non-judgemental dietary guidance will be provided in consults.
Functional testing
Liz may recommend various laboratory tests to assess hormone levels, thyroid function, adrenal health, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and immune function. These tests help identify any imbalances or dysfunctions contributing to how you are feeling.
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of healing that focuses on the root cause of your condition.
Viewing you as a whole-person, your Naturopath seeks balance with your body through herbal and nutritional medicine. After rigorous casetaking with our long-consultation format, we gain a holistic veiw of your condition and with the consideration of the interplay of body systems as well as mind and spirit; we individualise and tailor treatment to you.
The practice of nutrition and herbalism is informed by traditional literature, as well as current scientific research and clinical trials. It is a gentle, natural approach that works with your body instead of suppressing or overiding its inherent intelligence. In order to establish the root cause, you may be recommended diet diaries, pathology testing (through your GP) or functional testing such as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis or GI-Map (etc.) to further investigate your health.
