Having a firm foundation in both the traditional medical model and natural medicine gives Emily a unique understanding of health and disease and she knows just how important it is to uncover and address the root cause of your disease rather than just putting bandaids on symptoms.
How I Can Help
Emily is qualified and skilled in many modalities to help you navigate your journey to wellness.
Food Coaching
As a qualified Wahl’s practitioner, I use food and dietary changes as a fundamental way of reducing inflammation, and fatigue and improving immune and gut function.
Lifestyle Interventions
Reducing stress is hugely important if we are to reduce the impacts of chronic disease. Meditation, exercise and sunshine are just a few of the ways in which we will work together to make sure your lifestyle is promoting good health, rather than contributing to disease.
Diagnostic Testing
You can’t treat the cause of the dis-ease if you don’t know the drivers! I work with a GP as well as using integrative testing to make sure that we know the cause and drivers of the disease before we start any nutritional or herbal remedies.
Nutritional Support
Based on diagnostic testing and a thorough case history, we will determine if any nutritional support is required to improve your health and vitality. Nutritional support is based on scientific studies and best practices in the industry. I only recommend and prescribe practitioner only products that have been tested and are of the highest quality.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is a fantastic way to help support the systems of the body to heal. Whether it been to support the immune system, strengthen the nervous system or reduce inflammation. Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years successfully to promote health and wellbeing. Like nutritional supplementation I only use practitioner only products that have been tested and certified.
Genetic Testing
Epigenetics and nutrigenomics have been at the cutting edge of health research over the last decade. By testing specific human genes we can remove the guess work and maximise health by making specific and individual recommendations to promote better health and avoid the things that we know will increase your individual risk of disease.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle, holistic healing technique from Japan that channels universal life energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient. This non-invasive therapy promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances the body’s natural healing abilities. Reiki supports physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, offering relief from pain, a boost in energy, and a deeper sense of peace.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
EFT, often referred to as “tapping,” is a powerful method that combines elements of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. By tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional issues or physical pain, EFT aims to restore balance to the body’s energy system, promoting emotional well-being and physical health. This simple, non-invasive technique can help reduce stress, anxiety, and negative emotions, and has been used successfully to address a wide range of issues from trauma to chronic pain.
About Emily
Registered Nurse & Naturopath
BHSc. Naturopathy (ANTA), BHSc. Nursing
I’ve always had a strong interest in health and understanding the human body. This, coupled with a desire to help people, resulted in me studying nursing. I completed my nursing degree in 2005 and when I went on to work in an acute care hospital, I noticed that despite access to good medical care, my patients continued to return to the hospital sicker and sicker. Clearly, we were missing something!
This prompted me to look elsewhere for a more holistic, natural approach to health care that addresses the underlying cause of disease and takes into account the whole person, leading me to study naturopathy.
Having a firm foundation in both the traditional medical model and natural medicine gives me a unique understanding of health and disease and I know just how important it is to uncover and address the root cause of your disease rather than just putting bandaids on symptoms.
Alongside my nursing and naturopathy qualifications, I’m also a Reiki and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner and have a particular interest in the role the mind plays in health and disease. I have experienced first-hand how changing your thoughts and emotions can profoundly improve your physical and mental health and I love helping people discover this for themselves.
My special interest areas in clinic are:
– Multiple Sclerosis
– Stress and Anxiety
– Oncology
– Kidney Disease

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
What happens during a consult?
What is the cost of a consultation?
An initial consult is $350. This covers the 4 – 6 hours of research that is put into each and every case. We believe that by spending a lot more time at the beginning to understand your personal circumstances and properly test for underlying functional drivers of dis-ease we get much better long term outcomes, that in the long run cost you a lost less. We never want to guess with someone’s health, We would rather take my time to understand your situation and your body and prescribe dietary, lifestyle and therapeutic support based on sound evidence. We also work with a team of health care professionals and often we take time to discuss your case and work out a full supported health care plan.
I am in a wheel chair and find it hard to get to appointments
I am available to see patients via Zoom or Skype if travelling due to disability is hard. Our clinic in Templestowe is also wheelchair friendly.
How often do you need to see me?
After your initial consultation we will generally see you 4 weeks later for a follow up. This is to allow time for any pathology results to come back in. It also gives you time to integrate dietary and lifestyle changes and to see what effect these have on your health. After your first follow up consult we work out a plan that suits you, we are available in between consults via email for support. We believe if you have any questions that you should be able to ask we encourage patients to reach out to us, we often tweak and adjust things based on your feedback between appointments so you have the maximum results in the time between consults.
Do I have to change my diet to get results?
The short answer… If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always got. What we put into our mouths play a huge role in how we feel day to day, which is magnified if we have an autoimmune or neurodegenerative health condition. We will always work with you to make it realistic, but the short answer is yes. You may just have to make friends with green leafy vegetables.
How much does pathology testing cost?
That will depend on the type of pathology testing we decide to have done. As much as possible we will work with your doctor to run basic tests that are often covered by Medicare. We will discuss anything else that might be useful and decide whether extra testing is useful on a cost to benefit ration.
