BHSc Naturopathy, BHSc Nutritional & Dietetic Medicine, Member NHAA, BSc Economics & Geography
Andrea grew up in Germany where she was exposed to herbal medicine from a young age. This, and the experience of working in her aunt’s compounding pharmacy during her teenage years, created a strong interest in natural medicine.
Fast forward a few years, when Andrea experienced fertility challenges and went through IVF treatment. She supported these treatments with herbal medicine, which resulted in two healthy pregnancies.
Becoming a mother made her even more aware of the importance of eating nutritious food and the healing effects these foods can have on our bodies. It became her mission to give her children the healthiest start in life possible and this ultimately led to her decision to enrol in Nutrition and Naturopathy degrees. She felt particularly drawn to Naturopathy as it prioritises addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms.
With a passion for Women's health Andrea understands the many challenges that women face. From her own struggles to fall pregnant years ago, to today having a teenage daughter going through puberty, herself going through perimenopause and dealing with anxiety and stress. These experiences have helped her to understand the challenges that other women go through and how good nutrition and herbal remedies cannot only support them through these challenging times but also give them more energy and vitality.
Andrea has a nurturing approach and focuses on empowering her patients with the knowledge and tools for long-term health and well-being.
Outside of practicing, Andrea enjoys walking her dog Trixie, going to the gym, practicing yoga and pilates, reading and traveling around Australia and overseas. She also enjoys cooking and loves making healthy, nutritious meals and treats for her family and friends.
