Meet your Naturopath

Hello there, I’m Karina.

I’m a degree qualified Naturopath specialising in women’s health and fertility.

My mission is to guide YOU on your journey to happy hormones, vibrant energy, optimal fertility and a thriving pregnancy.

Associations and certificates

  • Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) with distinction

  • Member of Naturopath and Herbalist Association of Australia

  • Douglas Blood Microscopy Centre - Live and Coagulated Blood Microscopy Training

  • First aid certification

My health journey started as a teenager when I was struggling with severe period pain, heavy bleeding, fatigue and I was ignored by so many health professionals. Eventually I found out that I had an autoimmune thyroid condition and I began my journey to healing. I have turned my experiences into education, hours and hours of research, years of studying and now as a degree qualified naturopath - I’m here to help you!

My approach to healing is to blend the scientific and evidence based methods with traditional medicine.

I LOVE my job (if you can’t tell), but in my spare time you’ll find me hiking with my husband, exploring the world (I’ve been to 36 countries and counting!), cooking up nourishing foods or crafting (any crafts, I love it all!).

A little more about me

My passions

WOMEN’S HEALTH

I believe there is a huge gap here with mainstream medicine. I love working with PCOS + Endo warriors, those transitioning off hormonal contraception and those with hormonal symptoms that are medically gaslighted and just offered the oral contraceptive pill to “regulate”. Because girl, I’ve been there, I understand.

PRECONCEPTION + FERTILITY

I have a soft spot for helping women (and men!) on their fertility journey, helping them be in optimal health to create their little miracle. Preparing and nourishing your body before conception  is one of the greatest gifts you can give your future child and generations to come. Come chat baby prep with me!

EDUCATION

I strongly believe educating my clients about why they are making certain changes is absolutely key to success.

I aim to uncover the root cause of the imbalance in your body so we can heal and not just suppress symptoms.

FIND THE ROOT CAUSE

FAQs

How many appointments will I need? 
Naturopathic medicine is progressive, in the first couple sessions I will set you up with a solid plan but as your symptoms change and your condition improves we work with that and make any changes. As for how many appointments you need this really depends on your condition and how complex this may be. 

Do you see other conditions that aren’t listed on your site? 
Absolutely! My approach is evidence based and I have experience in many areas. If you are unsure feel free to contact me and I can help you out. 

Can you order blood tests? 
I can but unfortunately they aren’t covered by Medicare. Sometimes if a GP won’t test certain things I can order them and the client will cover the cost of the test. Other times if there are multiple tests required I will educate you on how to approach your GP to get the tests you want.
