Integrating naturopathic and conventional medicine for the best outcome IS possible! 🌱 I am passionate about guiding people through an integrative healthcare model in order to achieve the best possible outcome and obtain vibrant health.
Years ago, I became very ill and basically lost everything that shaped my identity- my capability to work, my previous marriage, my ability to parent, not to mention physical things too- home, finances etc. I was that "sick naturopath". It was an extremely confronting, emotionally wrecking season in my life. It seemed like a major fail. But it was through this that I discovered the true meaning of love, of healing, explored my spirituality and experienced the peace of God which surpasses all understanding. From this I have made room for healing, for God's work to piece together bits of my life which I thought were long gone. This is it in a very summarised version but I literally witnessed and lived through turning ashes into beauty ❤️
Both my kids as newborns taught me that I was capable of functioning as a human on very very little sleep 🤣
I'm a clinical nutritionist and naturopath. I specialize in women's health and hormones. I love my clients, I help them get to the bottom of their issues. They often have a hard time finding answers and spend years on a hamster wheel with just band aiding symptoms. We work on integrative testing, and treating the root cause of chronic illness. We often see great improvement with pain, a shift towards healthier weight, better energy, sleep, digestive health, moods, and more!
I'm not a fan of faux meat but I'm glad there are options out there for people who are!
A little something something for women in Indonesia 🇲🇨🌸😘
Flexitarian 🙂 with a few tweaks depending on what I'm going through. At the moment I'm dealing with some postpartum thyroid issues so I'm on a lectin free/low lectin diet.
My naturopathy degree
Be patient, be open minded, listen to others, give things a red hot crack, and don't think you're always right.
You're in for a wild ride. And reassure her that this/that too shall pass 💚
Food! If I wasn't a naturopath and clinical nutritionist, I'd be a professional foodie- cook or F&B entrepreneur!
It's now general practice to offer our services online. Which I love! Which I've always done. We need to spread our knowledge far and wide. Not just to people who are physically able to get to us.
Broccoli
You do not need to work off/burn off a meal. Exercise isn't a punishment for something you ate. It's a celebration of what your body can do.
Sports!
Ohhh. Sautéed portobello mushrooms, and broccoli, with millet. Topped with dry roasted sunflower seeds.
