I started my career as a Naturopath specialising in gut and hormonal health after my own health journey. Like many women, I had been on the pill most of my menstruating life. I struggled with allll the side effects but no medical practitioner would take me seriously. I decided to come off birth control without any support, I experienced post-pill amenorrhea (no periods) and it was a longgggg journey to heal my hormones. Around the same time, I had picked up a nasty parasite in South East Asia. I was prescribed round after round of antibiotics which only led to more severe symptoms like IBS and extreme food intolerances. Frustrated with modern medicine, I reached out to a Naturopath who supported me on my gut healing journey. Within weeks I had better energy, less anxiety and no more IBS flare ups! It opened my eyes to the world of natural medicine and I just knew this was my purpose!
As a practitioner, I specialise in a root cause approach and utilise blood and functional testing. I really focus on the foundations for health with my clients and doing as much as we can through diet and lifestyle to bring the body back into balance. I specialise in Womens Hormonal Health and Gut health.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the newest naturopath at Gaia Health Space! My name is Maddy and I am very excited to be joining the team and to be able to support others on their health journey.
My passion for naturopathy stems from my own struggles with my skin and gut health, having navigated these challenges firsthand, I was compelled to dive deeper into understanding and addressing the root cause.
Now my dream is to help others find the root cause to their health concerns, utilising functional testing and comprehensive health assessments. I am deeply passionate about skin, gut, and hormonal health, and I am dedicated to empowering and educating individuals to make conscious health decisions.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to better health.
