About Michelle
Michelle is a degree-qualified clinical naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and a strong passion for supporting women, adolescents, and families through realistic, evidence-informed healthcare.
Originally from Canberra and now based in Sydney’s Inner West, Michelle was drawn to naturopathy through her own experiences with health and nutrition. Living with Coeliac disease sparked a deep personal and professional interest in autoimmunity, gut health, and the powerful role that nutrition and lifestyle can play in long-term wellbeing. Her own journey shaped a practical, balanced approach to healthcare — one that prioritises sustainability, education, and treatments that genuinely fit into everyday life.
Michelle has a special interest in women’s health, particularly supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults through hormonal changes and the often-overlooked health concerns that can emerge during these stages. She frequently works with presentations relating to skin health, gut symptoms, fatigue, cycle irregularities, PMS, and general wellbeing, helping patients better understand their bodies and feel more confident in their health.
She is also passionate about paediatric and family health, recognising the importance of building strong foundations early in life and supporting families in a way that feels achievable and compassionate rather than overwhelming.
Michelle values an integrative approach to healthcare, combining evidence-based natural medicine with targeted pathology and functional assessment to create individualised treatment plans that are both effective and sustainable.

Approach
Michelle’s approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. She believes healthcare should feel supportive and realistic, with treatment plans designed to work alongside everyday life rather than adding further stress or restriction.

Her focus is always on creating sustainable, long-term improvements while ensuring patients feel genuinely listened to and cared for.
