Is it right for me?

This testing can be particularly helpful if you’ve tried the usual approaches and want a more personalised picture.

Fatigue, burnout or low vitality


Hormonal concerns and fertility challenges


Digestive issues, bloating or histamine concerns


Anxiety, low mood, poor sleep or brain fog


Sensitivity to medications or environmental toxins


High homocysteine or a family history of heart disease


Wanting to optimise exercise performance and recovery

Your genetics are one piece of the puzzle

We are all unique, and the same diet or exercise approach can produce different results in different people.

Your DNA results show how your individual genetic variations may influence areas like nutrient metabolism, methylation, detoxification, inflammation, energy production and hormone metabolism.

We then use these insights alongside your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals to tailor your nutrition, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to you, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

What is methylation and why is it important?

Methylation is a biochemical process happening constantly in every cell of your body. It helps keep gene expression in balance, and it underpins a long list of everyday jobs.

01. Detoxification

How well your liver processes and clears toxins.

02. Energy

Cellular energy production and how you break down fats, proteins and carbs.

03. Mood, focus and sleep

Making and clearing the neurotransmitters behind stress resilience.

04. Hormones

How oestrogen, cortisol and thyroid hormones are metabolised.

05. Heart health

Recycling homocysteine and supporting healthy blood vessels.

06. Immunity and repair

Regulating inflammation and supporting DNA repair.

More than a genetic report

Many DNA tests leave you with pages of results, and consultations and recommendations are often charged separately. Rather than simply receiving a genetic report and being left to work out what it all means, you’ll have a qualified practitioner to help interpret your results and translate them into practical recommendations that are relevant to you.

A genetic report on its own

Pages of genetic results

Working out what it all means yourself

Beyond band-aid solutions

I don’t believe that every symptom needs another supplement. And I don’t believe that finding a single “problem” explains everything. Sometimes the answer is relatively simple. Sometimes it’s not.


Looking at the whole picture

I look at the connections between your symptoms, your history, your lifestyle, your nutrition and the different systems of your body, rather than putting each symptom into its own box.


No guessing. No one-size-fits-all protocols.

Where appropriate, I use functional testing to investigate further. Testing isn’t about ordering every test available. It’s about choosing the ones that help us understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface.


Your treatment is tailored to you

There is no universal “hormone protocol”. The goal isn’t to give you more things to do. It’s to work out what matters most, and focus there.


Evidence meets traditional wisdom

I use the best available evidence alongside clinical experience, traditional knowledge and, most importantly, the individual sitting in front of me.

Hi, I’m Carolyn.

I’m a naturopath, nutritionist and medical herbalist with a passion for women’s health. I love getting to the root of what’s going on, and I believe herbs and plants are some of the most accessible medicine we have.

My health journey has been a long one. From SIBO and gut disorders to hormone imbalances, acne, histamine intolerance and postpartum anxiety, I was dedicated to finding answers, even when I was told “everything was normal.” That experience is a big part of why I do what I do: supporting and empowering women to take control of their health, listen to their bodies and never dismiss themselves.

Since becoming a mama myself, I know how easy it is to put your own health on the back burner. Self care is not selfish, it’s essential.

In their words

  • “Wowee, what a journey it has been for me and my gut! I am so happy to say for the first time in 7 or so years my gut and body feels a thousand times healthier and happier than it has ever been! I've spent years trying to figure out what was going on with my health, foods effected my body so much and so many things, whether it was bloating, rashes, skin issues, hormonal problems - the list goes on. I saw doctors, specialists, had procedures to figure it out and nothing! Then I started working with Carolyn in December and I have her to thanks for how amazing I am feeling now. I honestly didn't think I would be able to feel normal again. I thought I just had to deal with all the gut stuff. But Caz put together a really great plan for me and I stuck to it and it has definitely paid off. Carolyn, thank you, thank you, thank you!”

    - Lilli N -

  • "Carolyn has been my naturopath of choice for about 9 months now. Through out this time she has provided me with so much guidance and knowledge surrounding natural approaches to improve my health including gut issues, hormonal issues, and improving my overall wellbeing. I have trusted the process from day one and have not been disappointed. It has been extremely fulfilling seeing my improvements with time and i will continue to see Carolyn and recommend her to others in the future. I have been misdiagnosed time and time again in the past through regular doctors visits, so this alternative approach to health has really been a big positive change for me and i can not thank Carolyn enough."

    - Kristin K -

  • “Carolyn is such a beautiful, knowledgable, nurturing and compassionate naturopath. She has been nothing but supportive and helpful on my health journey. I am very grateful for her passion and dedication to getting to the root cause of my symptoms and helping me to feel lighter and healthier. Couldn't recommend her more!”

    Lily T

  • "Carolyn supported me through my pregnancy and I had a wonderful experience. Her guidance went far beyond just nutrition—she provided knowledge and resources that supported me through every stage of my pregnancy. She made me feel informed, empowered, and cared for which made such a difference for me, being my first baby. Her holistic approach really helped me feel confident in my pregnancy, nourished both physically and emotionally which I feel really set me up well for birth and postpartum as well. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend!"

    - Anna C -

  • “My experience with Carolyn has honestly been life changing. Her endless support and guidance as been incredible. For years I have suffered with digestive issues and never got the proper help I needed from doctors. Carolyn has helped me in so many ways and I am so so happy with how I feel in my body now. My health is at the best it's been in so long and I am so happy I decided to follow a natural path to heal my gut. I totally recommend Carolyn! xx"

    - Tatjana L -

  • “I have been seeing Carolyn for years now and I am so grateful I found her, she has provided the gap of support I felt I have needed with my health and truly takes the time and looks at all aspects you/your life to assess what's really needed. A very kind woman with so much wisdom - Thank you for all that you do and for continuing to support me!"

    - Alana E -

  • “If you are unsure of where to turn and are really wanting to get to the bottom of your health concerns, I could not recommend Caz enough. Caz is the first naturopath I've worked with and came across her through a recommendation by a family member.

    I have suffered for years with extreme fatigue, mood swings, headaches and weight fluctuations. Within the first 4 weeks of working with Caz, the headaches subsided drastically and the I could feel the fatigue improving. If it wasn't her Caz thinking out of the box with her testing protocol, we would have never have found some of the causes to my health challenges.

    Above this, she is so incredibly kind and working with her is a dream.”

    Tori, V

  • “Carolyn is such an intuitive, skilled, knowledgeable and thorough naturopath. She was able to get to the root cause of my symptoms and was such an amazing listener, I also saw improvements very quickly. She is highly experienced and alongside her I was able to heal some health issues I had been experiencing for quite some time. Thank you. "

    - Ash J -

  • "Carolyn is so lovely (& gorgeous) her knowledge in her field is so vast. I had some yuck health things I couldn’t get on top of for a couple years prior and was feeling pretty defeated. I started seeing Carolyn at the beginning of the year and I’m forever grateful to have worked with her, I saw results so quickly, she’s so understanding, and supports you every step of the way. I highly recommend her"

    - Erin F -

  • "I could not recommend Caz higher! She has been so thorough from the first day I saw her, until current, well after she has helped heal my gut and rid a parasite! I have had exceptional results with her from dermatitis skin rashes banishing, energy being replenished and having a comfortable digestion! She is a dream to communicate with and always has alternatives using food and herbs as medicine if you are needing a more cost effective method. I will continue to work alongside her and recommend anyone to see her for their own optimal health results! Thank you thank you thank you!"

    - Jasmine L -

  • “I'm very happy with the changes I've seen and felt in the last year or so, thank you Carolyn! There have been improvements in my skin, eyes, hair, digestion and other stubborn issues that are finally being resolved. Carolyn's recommendations were straightforward and realistic to implement, and she was great at adapting these based on my preferences. Also she's an absolutely lovely and patient person, with a genuine care for the whole person. Definitely recommend.”

    - Tania -

  • “Carolyn has been amazing throughout the whole process, showing genuine interest and support the whole way through. I have seen a number of similar practitioners but no one as cost effective and wholistic as Carolyn! Highly recommend!”

    - Samira D -

You don’t have to keep treating symptoms one at a time.

If you’ve been told everything looks “normal”, but you still don’t feel well…


If you’ve tried supplements, diets or protocols without getting to the bottom of what’s going on…


Or if you’ve simply reached a point where you want someone to help you connect the dots…

I’d love to help.
