Naturopathic Consultations

Practical, personalised support to help you feel better and stay well in midlife and beyond

Clear, Compassionate Care for Every Stage of Midlife

Midlife can bring changes you did not expect — shifts in hormones, digestion, mood, metabolism, and energy. These changes can be frustrating, especially when symptoms disrupt your daily life and you cannot seem to find the right answers.

At Saffron Natural Health, my consultations are designed to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms and guide you toward solutions that are achievable and effective. I combine natural medicine with the best of modern research so you feel informed, supported, and confident about your next steps.

What You Can Expect When We Work Together

Your consultation is more than just a checklist of symptoms. It’s a genuine conversation about your health, your life, and what will work for you. By the end of your session, you’ll have a clear plan to follow and the reassurance that I’m here to support you as you make changes.

Consultations include:

  • A detailed review of your health history and concerns

  • Practical dietary and lifestyle recommendations

  • Consideration of your unique biology and circumstances

  • A personalised plan with evidence-based strategies

  • Ongoing adjustments to keep you moving toward your goals

In some cases the first consultation focuses mainly on detailed information gathering, and once the results of testing is received, a plan for treatment is presented at the following consultation.

My Treatment Philosophy

I believe lasting change comes from recommendations that are personalised, practical, and grounded in evidence.

My role is to help you take steps that feel manageable while moving you toward better health.

  • Food and lifestyle shifts form the foundation of my approach. Together, we create a nutrient-rich plan and sustainable daily habits that support your body’s needs and fit your lifestyle.

  • Supplements are recommended where appropriate, with clear explanations of why they are important and how they fit into your plan.

  • Where appropriate, herbal formulations can provide targeted support for hormones, digestion, mood, and more. Each prescription is chosen for your specific needs and goals.

Functional Testing: Going Beyond Guesswork

When more information is needed, functional and pathology testing can help uncover what’s driving your symptoms. I often recommend standard blood tests through your GP to minimise costs, and use specialised functional tests for deeper insight.

Testing options may include:

  • Hormone testing

  • Nutrient status assessment (such as iron, zinc, B12)

  • Blood sugar and cholesterol testing

  • Inflammation and immune function markers

  • Comprehensive gut microbiome analysis

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

We’ll go through the results so that you understand what they mean and how they shape your treatment plan.
