As a biochemist I was a skeptic of Natural Therapies. After developing a chronic inflammatory disease and undergoing symptomatic medical treatment, I was challenged to delve deeper and open my mind and experience to the curative potential of integrative Natural Medicine and its richer understanding of the levels of Human health.

You can’t change your chronological age.
But you can optimize your biological age & potential.

"First and foremost Margaret believes in disease prevention.”
Margaret is a Naturopath with over 25 years experience. Her specialty is detox and gut imbalance which is often at the core of many symptoms. She believes in reducing inflammation as it is a driver of many diseases, and she recently published a book on this topic. Weight loss, immune, hormonal and adrenal imbalances and problems with skin, tiredness and lymphatic congestion are things she frequently and successfully treats. She uses a combination of diet, herbal medicine and nutrients. Her lymphatic drainage is renowned for aiding the removal of toxins from the body and she also offers ear candling.
Margaret uses screening tools to help recognise how different signs and symptoms may relate to your health status. This screening is an optional tool often carried out at the initial appointment and at any time during the treatment. It allows you to see the positive effects that your diet, lifestyle and supplemental program are having on your health. Through this screening Margaret may be able to develop more effective health strategies tailor-made for you.
Functional pathology tests will be undertaken where necessary including food intolerance testing, genetic testing, heavy metal testing, adrenal, thyroid and hormonal function tests, and microbiome testing. Patients are also encouraged to bring along any medical test results that they already have.
Margaret has a loyal following of patients, many of whom have been consulting with her for many years.
Margaret's Website
I presented to Margaret in July 2015 with many ailments but the biggest being my severe Crohn’s Disease. After 4 months of seeing her I have felt better than I have in years. She has educated me about food and its properties and helped me get on top of my Crohn’s by really thinking about what I am putting into my body. Last week (November 2015) I was given the fantastic news by my Gastroenterologist that I am in clinical remission for the very first time in almost 4 years!! Margaret’s role in this has been pivotal and I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me. I highly recommend Margaret and her services.

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.
