Feedback from previous clients
“I first started seeing Michele when my eldest son was in Kindergarten. He was constipated and bloated, he had physical sensitivity issues and he had emotional regulation issues which I was struggling to help him with. Michele supported us as a family to firstly make some fairly dramatic dietary changes, and then to progress on to the GAPS elimination protocol. Her support and knowledge was invaluable. The insights that I have gained during the time we have worked together has ultimately completely changed how our family eats. My health and well-being has also improved exponentially as Michele has advised me how to approach and manage my body as I have gone through menopause. Even my husband, who is quite resistant to being told what to do, has had some remarkable health improvements when he has finally followed advice from Michele. You don’t know what you don’t know until someone like Michele opens the door for you.”

Ask Michele..
How did you get into naturopathy, in particular the gut health specialty?
I have always had an interest in health and personally sought out more natural options to everyday aliments. The interest in gut health came when my son Cooper was born with epilepsy. It took multiple treatments and years of an intensive dietary and nutritional protocol called GAPS, to get his body back on track. I am happy to shout to the world that these days he is epilepsy free and if I had not explored his gut health further it might be a different story today. I am now hooked on paying this forward to helping other parents get their children on track. Food is fuel to the body much like petrol is to a car – putting the wrong thing in gradually breaks your’s and your car’s engine!
What is the most rewarding part of working with families to improve their gut health?
Seeing children thrive and reach their full potential. The love we have for our kids is like no other and seeing them thrive is the icing on the cake. Kids respond well to nutritional intervention and often what they crave can be a sign that their gut health is off track.
What do you love about working in a nervous-system focused team?
The way the nervous system, and the vagus nerve, fits into the gut health picture just makes so much sense. Working alongside Dr Carrie and our other team members allows us to take a whole and complete snapshot of someone’s health, their health goals, and how to best support them.
While improving the gut can impact the vagus nerve and therefore overall brain health, it can go the other way too - the possibilities of healing are endless.
