Meet Paula – Your Midlife & Gut Health Naturopath
You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again
If you are in midlife and feeling like your body has changed without your permission, you are not alone. Perhaps you are more tired than you used to be, dealing with digestive issues that never seem to settle, or noticing hormonal changes that affect your mood, sleep, and energy. It can feel frustrating when you try to take care of yourself but still cannot find the answers you need.
I understand that experience. Before becoming a naturopath, I also searched for solutions that addressed more than just symptoms. Along the way, I discovered the power of combining natural medicine with evidence-based care, and I saw first-hand how it could transform health and wellbeing. That journey shaped the way I now work with my clients, offering the kind of clear, compassionate support I once wished for myself.
Meet Paula, Your Midlife Naturopath
My journey into naturopathy began with a simple truth: I wanted better answers.
Through both personal and family health experiences, I saw how certain conditions were left unresolved by conventional approaches. I discovered that natural medicine, when grounded in science, could offer solutions that made a real difference to daily life.
Today, I work with clients in midlife who are navigating changes in hormones, metabolism, mood, and digestion. My role is to make sense of what is happening in your body, give you clear and achievable steps, and walk alongside you as you make progress. My approach is calm, clear, and collaborative, so you feel safe, informed, and supported.

Why I Do This Work
My path to becoming a naturopath began with personal experiences that showed me the power of natural medicine. Over the years, I saw how certain health issues were not being addressed well by conventional care. This was not about replacing modern medicine, but about filling a gap where people could receive more personalised, thorough, and preventative support. I wanted to help people in midlife feel understood and truly supported, and to provide them with clear, evidence-based strategies for lasting change. That is why Saffron Natural Health exists — to offer the kind of care I once wished for myself and my family.
What Makes My Approach Different
When you work with me, you will find an approach that is:
Personalised, not prescriptive — every plan is tailored to your history, goals, and current health picture.
Grounded in science — natural medicine is paired with peer-reviewed research for safe, effective results.
Practical and achievable — recommendations fit into real life, no matter how busy you are.
Collaborative — we work together, so you always feel involved in your care.
Focused on the root cause — I look deeper than symptoms to find the underlying issues affecting your health.
When we work together, you can expect to feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.
Clients often tell me they arrive feeling overwhelmed, tired, and unsure where to start. They leave with a clear plan, a better understanding of their body, and renewed hope. Over time, small but steady changes begin to build into noticeable improvements — better energy, fewer digestive issues, more balanced moods, and a stronger sense of control over their health.
