I believe that health is complex and can be challenging, which is why a personalised, preventative, and holistic approach is essential to address all aspects of wellbeing—physical, emotional, and lifestyle.

My own life experiences have shaped this philosophy and sparked a special interest in Immunity, Hormones, and Gut Health. Why these areas? Let me explain…

My Health Journey

In my early 20s, I suffered horrendous hormonal issues after taking the oral contraceptive pill. I had no idea that artificial hormones could send my whole body—and mind—completely haywire. I was also lucky to avoid serious complications from possible blood clots after a long-haul flight, something I was completely unaware of at the time.

Determined to restore my health holistically, I began studying naturopathy in 2000 and graduated in 2003. Through this process, I rebalanced my gut health, realigned my hormones, and regained my vitality.

Eager to deepen my knowledge, I completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in 2005, initially aiming to study Medicine. However, during my studies, I was shocked by the disease-centric and anti-naturopathic views held by several lecturers—many of whom also taught in the medical degree. This reinforced my belief that true healing requires a holistic, personalised approach that works with the body rather than simply treating symptoms.

I started practicing under several naturopaths on the Gold Coast and then in Newcastle. I also embraced motherhood, which brought new joys and challenges along with a reemergence of gut symptoms after a bad episode of food poisoning led to a battle with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)  which deepened my understanding of chronic gut issues in my journey to resolve my own health issues. I wanted to develop an approach that supported clients in learning about their own unique health needs whilst adjusting their lifestyle to harness the best long-term health outcomes.

In 2015, I founded Wellness Vision, a name that truly reflects my passion for inspired, personalised health care. During this time, I began introducing wellness programs alongside a Wellness Coach and quickly saw that clients who engaged in structured programs achieved the best long-term results.

At the same time, my commitment to advanced, evidence-based practice drove me to undertake further study. Over the next five years, I completed a Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Functional Medicine (2021) and became an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP) in 2023. These qualifications allowed me to integrate the latest evidence with practical, personalised care—while continuing to learn from my clients, who remain my greatest teachers.

Now, in 2025, I’m proud to launch the first dedicated Functional Medicine Clinic in Newcastle and the Hunter region. Our welcoming clinic, located on the main street of Wallsend, is a bright and calming space designed to deliver holistic programs that truly support your journey. These programs are built to improve consistency, provide ongoing guidance, and empower you to become the best version of yourself—helping you achieve your wellness goals and maintain vibrant health for the long term.
