I will work together with you to address the underlying causes of your health conditions
Hello, my name is Hayley. I am a degree-qualified Naturopath here on the Gold Coast; I completed my Bachelor of Health Science (BHSc. Nat) at Endeavour College and am registered with the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association Australia (NHAA).
I have lived on the Gold Coast for most of my life, and enjoy spending quality time in the sun with my dog, a cuppa and a good book. I love travelling, and recently spent two months exploring South America with my husband. No matter how many countries or places I visit, my travel wish list grows longer, not shorter!
I grew up in a health-conscious household and have always been drawn to naturopathy. I even chose to do my high school work experience at a naturopathic clinic in Burleigh! In my life before qualifying as a naturopath, I worked in hospitality, retail and administration. When I was 18, I developed eczema all over my legs, hands and face. Through my studies and with the help of an experienced naturopath, I managed to identify the underlying causes of my eczema using pathology testing and went on a journey to heal my leaky gut and support my nervous system.
I HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN TREATING:
Digestive health: irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, diarrhoea, SIBO, dysbiosis, leaky gut or intestinal permeability, food intolerances and bacterial or parasitic infections.
Skin: eczema, acne and psoriasis.
Hormonal conditions: PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, preconception care and fertility.
Nervous system: anxiety and low mood.
As a naturopath, I will work together with you to address the underlying causes of your health conditions, often recommending pathology testing to pinpoint contributing factors and fine tune treatment. We will also review your diet, lifestyle and stress levels, with treatments often including dietary modification, lifestyle changes and herbal or nutritional supplements to correct deficiencies or treat disease. The beauty of naturopathy is its focus on treating everyone as an individual.
I am a big believer in balance, moderation and the 80/20 rule. I believe in eating clean most of the time (>80%) with lots of nutritious veggies and minimally processed processed foods, but sometimes you gotta treat yourself and eat dark chocolate and drink wine with your bestie. It’s called balance!
