ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site. I'm so glad you've found your way here. My name is Tamara (call me Tam) and I am passionate about the science of natural health care. After high school I studied a Bachelor of Science at the University of Sydney and quickly fell in love with biology and botany. I spent my twenties becoming increasingly interested in all things health and wellbeing which led me to study Western Herbal Medicine (Advanced Diploma). I have since completed various courses in nutrition, nutrigenomics and naturopathic medicine.
I believe that by making small and consistent changes we can constantly fine tune our health for ultimate vitality. It is your birthright to feel well and I am keen to help you along on your journey.
My practice style is relaxed and compassionate. You will not walk away from my consults with shopping bags full of supplements! I use a food-first approach keeping supplements to a minimum and focus instead on nutrigenomic medicines that allow your body to 'do the work' itself.
Herbalism is a holistic form of medicine which aims to not only address symptoms but also address the underlying causes of a condition or disease. Furthermore, herbal medicine can be used to support the body (and in turn the mind) through challenging times of high stress or depletion.
I will happily work alongside your doctor and other natural healthcare practitioners to ensure you are receiving a safe and streamlined treatment. If you'd like to understand more about how I work, please book a discovery call below.
Tamara's specialites
Gut health
Our gut health has a HUGE impact on all other aspects of our health, from our skin to our mental wellbeing. Tamara specialises in improving your digestion and elimination as well as restoring the gut-immune interface for better overall health. This has full body benefits including dampening down autoimmune disease, improving chronic skin conditions and relieving digestive discomfort and food senstivities. She is an accredited GEMM practitioner.

Tamara is skilled at prescribing herbal medicine to help shift hormonal imbalances including reproductive hormones, stress hormones and metabolic hormones. Whether you are 16 or 60, Tamara can assist with hormones gone crazy including insulin resistance and weight loss, PMS, PMDD, pregnancy and the perimenopausal transition and adrenal hormonal shifts (think burn out and chronic fatigue).
Children's health
With children herself, Tamara loves to work with the little ones. She assists with children's sleep issues, poor immune function, gut issues, parasitic infections, anxiety, bedwetting and all the common childhood illnesses. If you're looking for a natural holistic approach to your child's health conditions, Tamara will be able to guide you safely. She offers reduced rate consults for children to help keep naturopathic medicine accessible to families.
