Initial Consult
$160 – 1.5 hours
This is an in-depth session designed to lay the foundation for your treatment plan.
This initial consultation will investigate your comprehensive health history, including medical and family history, diet, lifestyle, and physical markers such as tongue, iris, skin, and nails, blood work analysis, and any current health conditions.
In-person appointments are encouraged for this first visit. Please allow 1.5 hours for a comprehensive case analysis.
Follow Up Consult

This follow-up session is where we begin to shape the next phase of your treatment.
It gives us time to review how your body has responded to the initial plan, assess changes in your symptoms, and go through any test results in detail.
From here, your plan is refined and built upon with more targeted diet, lifestyle, sleep and nervous system support so your treatment continues to evolve in a way that is specific to you and your progress.
Microbiome & Gut Health

The Microba Explorer functional stool test is one of the most detailed microbiome analyses available. Using advanced DNA testing, it shows what is happening inside your gut and is interpreted alongside your symptoms and history to create a precise, targeted treatment plan.

Personalised diet, supplement and lifestyle strategies
Food as medicine
I hold a deep love in my heart for food as medicine, food for the soul and the most simple joy of preparing and eating food for oneself and others.
I use whole foods as a therapeutic tool as part of a personalised treatment strategy. By leveraging the synergistic compounds found in whole foods, I aim to support the body’s own healing mechanisms: reducing inflammation, aiding detoxification, restoring gut integrity and promoting hormonal balance.
Rather than approaching diet from a place of restriction, I focus on nourishment that restores function and reduces symptoms over time. Food is seen as more than isolated nutrients and as part of the foundation of your health and longevity.

What healing feels like, in their words
Healing is rarely linear, but these reflections offer a glimpse into what’s possible with the right support, the right tools, and the space to be heard.
“I’m so grateful to have found Sammie. After struggling with acne for years and trying countless conventional treatments such as medications, facials and laser decided to take a more natural approach and I’m so glad I did. She took the time to thoroughly understand me, my health history, and my lifestyle with compassion and I always felt heard and supported throughout the process.
Not only did working with Sammie clear my acne up, I also noticed improvements in my overall energy, digestion, and well-being and mood. This has been the first time in a long time I feel confident enough to leave the house without make up.
I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with chronic skin issues or looking for a more holistic journey.”
- Eliza Inferno
“My session with Sammie was wonderful. She put me at ease straight away and made me feel so comfortable to share what’s going on in my life and with my body. We came up with a health plan for me and through a range of diet and lifestyle changes/additions I’ve noticed a positive change in my exhaustion levels and general mental wellbeing. My energy has improved, my anxiety is much more manageable and I am now sleeping better than before.”

Answers to guide your journey

Naturopaths consider and treat all things holistically, meaning looking at the whole person's body, mind, spirit, lifestyle and beliefs. Viewing all parts as interconnected, finding ways to balance and harmonise your being.
Naturopathy uses evidence-based natural remedies designed to encourage the body's natural healing processes rather than masking symptoms or causing other side effects. Focussing on prevention and health maintenance, Naturopathy is integrative with Doctors and allopathic medicine. You can expect personalised, in-depth care aimed to empower you and your health. -
Whether you're addressing a specific concern or looking to enhance overall wellness, your first visit is all about getting to know you, your body, your story, and your goals.
Initial consults involve quite extensive questioning, some may seem unrelated to your presenting complaint however to me it is all relevant and in some way related. Follow-up consults are to dive a little deeper, follow up on how you're progressing and check to see what is working and what needs to be changed. -
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
The concept of Food as Medicine combines both ancient wisdom and modern science, recognising that the right foods can help prevent disease, support recovery, and enhance vitality.
This isn’t about restriction, it’s about empowerment through intentional nourishment.
I am personally extremely passionate about food, the act of feeding oneself and relationship to food. I hope to encourage healthy eating practices, intuitive eating and learning to listen to your body and its innate wisdom.scription -
Functional testing is a form of advanced clinical testing used to dig deeper and uncover exactly what's going on inside of your body. When symptoms are persistent and don't seem to improve despite thorough investigation and treatment it may be a good idea to use certain functional test results as a sure way to tailor your treatment plan.
Common functional tests include Stool Analysis, Microbiome Mapping, SIBO test or Allergy & Sensitivity Testing (IgG testing). -
My belief lies in eating for the soul. I live to eat and cherish the act of cooking and feeding myself and others. I have struggled in the past with restrictive eating, having a ‘poor’ relationship with food. I am now confident in my philosophy that food and eating is to be a joyous act based on intuition and deep connection with one's self.
As humans we are not machines whereby simply energy goes in and out and the act of listening to your body and what it wants and needs is one of the highest forms of self-care.
Therapeutic diets are designed to align with your wants and needs, using the healing powers of fresh foods to feed the body back to health.
