About Me

Diagnosed with IBS at 18, I became a relentless researcher (pre-Google days!) experimenting with every “solution” I could find, often all at once. Deep down, I always knew food was medicine capable of healing or harm, that belief led me to study naturopathy & nutrition.

Today, I offer more than just naturopathic care. I help you reconnect with your body’s own wisdom through individualised insightspractical simplicity, and genuine connection.

I specialise in non-invasive testing including HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) and FoodFit, offering clear tailored pathways for your health. Whether it’s acute care, in-depth wellness programs or a consultation via Telehealth I meet you with warmth, patience and grounded guidance.

I live and work in Malanda, Far North Queensland, where I run a heart-centred retail health space. Inside you’ll find:

  • herbal apothecary

  • Carefully curated health products

  • Local teas, coffee, and arty gifts

  • Hands-on workshops and in-store cooking experiences

It’s more than a store — it’s a space for connection, education, and thriving health.

When I’m not in clinic or the shop, you’ll find me walking the local lake track, talking to the trees (or myself!) or floating in the crater lake. Nature is my true healer, and simplicity continues to guide my parenting, my practice, and my path.

What I have learned

Parenting an out of the box child both unraveled and rebuilt me. She has been both my greatest challenge and most profound teacher, the making of me. Calling me back to my essence and reshaping how I hold space for others. Through this journey, I’ve come to deeply value simplicity, self-love and the quiet medicine of nature. What I’ve learned in walking beside her now lives in how I walk beside you.

Aligned Wellbeing

A beautiful store with everything you need, all of the essentials but also exciting new products I hadn’t seen anywhere else. Nicole is a wealth of knowledge and very insightful with any health issues you might have. Malanda is very lucky to have her!

Nikita Pineapple

The owner, Nicole, is a Naturopath, is very knowledgeable and friendly. Great health products and vegan foods, even makeup is sold here. A beautiful little gem of a store in our quaint little town ❤️

Teena Putt

I absolutely adore this store. The owner is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The store is small however the food is fresh. I have never purchased rancid hemp seeds or beans that won't soften when cooked as I have elsewhere. I will return again and again. Very happy customer.

Rebecca Stevens

Great customer service. Loved that little shop! We are just passing through town, but can even order locally baked bread once a week. 🙂
