Sound familiar?
Women come to me when they've run out of answers.
You want someone to look at all of it together, rather than manage one symptom at a time, hand you a generic plan, or tell you to eat less and stress less and come back in six months.
You want someone to understand what's driving it, explain it clearly, and help you fix it in a way that fits your life.
That's what I do.

My approach
What makes my approach different
Root cause, not symptom management
Most approaches treat symptoms in isolation, so fatigue gets a supplement, bloating gets a probiotic, and hormones get the pill.
I look at how your gut, hormones, liver, adrenals, thyroid and nervous system work together, and where the problem is starting.
A plan built for your real life
I have yet to meet a woman with unlimited time, perfect sleep, and no competing demands.
Your plan takes into account your schedule, your stress load, your food preferences, and your capacity. Sustainable means doable, and you can still have the margarita.
You'll learn the how and the why
I explain everything, including what's behind your symptoms, what the testing shows, and what we're doing about it.
You leave every appointment knowing more about your own body than when you walked in.
Meet your practitioner
Before I was a clinician, I was a patient.
In my mid to late twenties I was overweight despite going to the gym every day and eating what I believed was healthy. I was exhausted, waking through the night, anxious, depressed, inflamed, and being told by mainstream doctors there was nothing wrong with me.
Well, it turned out I was in fact a hot mess. Insulin resistance, oestrogen dominance, adrenal dysfunction, hypothyroidism, and terrible gut health after years of antibiotics as a child. Once I identified and treated the root causes, I lost a significant amount of weight, sorted my sleep, balanced my hormones, and felt like a different person.

Real reviews, straight from Google
Being the CEO at a wellbeing company, I have come across, met and worked with many naturopaths. Michaela however has found this unique way of integrating detailed and complex knowledge on aging and healing with easy to understand protocols and practices that work. She is a pro and lives what she preaches.Alex T.Google review
Michaela has been helping me for the past couple of months with treatment of endometriosis as well as gut health healing. In the short time I have seen her I have been blown away by the results and reduction in endo symptoms and pain. I am feeling the best I have felt in years.MaddieGoogle review
Incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and supportive of your needs. Within the first month of seeing Michaela, I had massive improvements in energy, mood and focus. If you're struggling in any way, make sure you see her. Honestly the best thing I ever did.Tara P.Google review
Michaela is lovely and very knowledgeable. She truly understands how everything in the body interlinks and took time to understand my situation and what I needed. Thanks to her advice I'm feeling better and have a better understanding of how my body works and what it needs.Elsa B.Google review
