Tamara is a degree qualified Naturopath and her interest in holistic medicine has stemmed from a series of reproductive health conditions including endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis when conventional medicine wasn’t digging deep enough to relieve the associated symptoms. Starting out as an assistant to the head naturopath of one of Australia’s leading fertility clinics, she was given valuable insight into the healing power of nature and the gut-brain connection.
Tamara’s focus as a clinical practitioner is to explore the root cause of a patient’s disease. She resolves health concerns with an honest and empathetic approach utilising current, evidence-based, and holistic health solutions and evokes long-term results by taking an extensive case history.
She is passionate in liberating patients from the debilitating symptoms often experienced due to hormonal dysregulation and loves supporting couples in their fertility journey to create healthy babies. Tamara also has a keen interest in stress support, postpartum health, gut complaints, autoimmune concerns including thyroid conditions, and children’s wellbeing.
Tamara offers a variety of treatments that are realistic, as she believes that working collaboratively to create a plan needs to be achievable to be effective. Both functional and conventional pathology are utilised, alongside herbal medicine, nutraceuticals, diet and lifestyle modifications.
In naturopathy we treat the underlying cause, and Tamara’s philosophy of a balanced diet being the framework for a healthy relationship with your body is essential in sustaining long term holistic goals. She empowers clients to take control of their own wellbeing.
Tamara has a passion for continuous learning, often attending various seminars and furthering her knowledge to correctly identify health concerns and create positive, prophylactic results. She likes to work closely with each patient’s healthcare team to collaboratively ensure integrative health care. She aims to live life to the fullest, with the mindset that ill health is the turning point to help you regain your best self.
