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.

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
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.
Start with a free 15 minute discovery call. No pressure, just a chance to talk through what’s going on and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
