Each one of these practitioners is highly skilled and deeply knowledgeable about their area of expertise, and I recommend them with confidence.
It’s a wonderful adjunct to acupuncture. The herbs support the flow of Qi in the body and help address any imbalances. I enjoy working with Alex Humphries for herbal medicine.

I find that clients who aren’t eating well, or have ongoing problems with digestion or food sensitivities benefit greatly from seeing a Registered Nutritional Therapist.
Reg Nutritional Therapist Abby Foreman provides personalised nutrition support for a wide range of health issues including digestive health, auto immune conditions, and women’s hormonal issues.
Nutritional therapy can be helpful for supporting energy and wel-lbeing during cancer treatments: Clarissa Nolan is a cancer research nurse and nutrition practitioner specialising in this area.
