The road I've travelled
Hi! I'm Simone - lover of nature and all things natural. I'd love to share a few things about myself so that you can get to know me a little better.
​
I am a naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist and a health coach, with a special interest in mentoring people to use food and herbs to manage health conditions, feel amazing and thrive.
I had a career in surveying, hydrographic charting and Crown land management before deciding that my passion lay in nutrition and natural health.
Sustainability
​
Prior to undertaking naturopathic studies, I completed a postgraduate certificate in sustainable development and I remain passionate about the environment and biodiversity. This passion shows in the way I run my business, using organic and recycled products wherever I can and making environmentally and vegan friendly products available and affordable to my clients.
​
Mentoring
​
I continue to study and apply wellness coaching and positive psychology so that I can inspire the best results for you.
When you see me as a client you benefit from my many years of PROBLEM SOLVING; planning and strategy; and LIFE EXPERIENCE; combined with my passion for herbal medicine and whole food therapy.
My plant path
I was called by the plants at a young age. As a child we visited my grandfather in his rambling and productive garden at Bathurst. The plants seemed to me to be enormous, and I could play under trellises of beans and wonder through patches of gigantic pumpkins. Whenever I hear the term 'green thumb', I think of my grandfather and his garden. His friends would turn up with empty boxes and leave with vegetables, herbs, flowers and a full heart.
In those early years of wonder and awe I sensed the energy in the plants and the pull to follow something magical, though I wasn't sure yet what it was. I have heard it described as the 'golden thread', the pull of the plant path.​
My quick tip for staying healthy
If I had to pick only one piece of health advice, it would be to EAT MORE VEGETABLES. Vegetables are a delicious and easy way to improve your digestion, skin, hair, nails, and most common health conditions.
​
In my clinic I have discovered that many people are busy and eat a small or limited range of vegetables each day. Do you struggle to get excited about vegetables?
I wrote this blog for you: "How to eat more plants"
My naturopathic style
​
I am dedicated to a 'FOOD IS MEDICINE' approach to healing, so dietary changes will always be my long term focus, with supplementation of nutrients when necessary to fill an immediate deficiency..
​
I believe that herbal medicines are both a powerful and gentle form of medicine. With my liquid herbs, I can create a medicine that is truly unique to you, that will benefit you in many ways.
​
I also believe in cultivating balance in your life. I won't recommend unnecessary restriction of the foods or activities that you love. I will only recommend that you remove foods from your diet if it is essential for your healing. Often those beloved foods can be reintroduced when you are well.
I want to redefine health care so that my clients feel encouraged to connect with nature and see themselves as part of the environment, rather than separate to it.
​
When I work with you I want to help you to find ways to bring nature back into your life, to reconnect with the earth and it's rhythms.
​
I want to empower people by showing you how to tune into the natural cycles of your health and use food and herbs to nourish yourself and your family.
​
This is my wish for you, that you will feel
​
inspired - supported - empowered
