About
Meet Cath
Naturopathic Herbalist
After pursuing studies in Economics & International Relations at the ANU in Canberra in the mid 1990s, I decided to follow my heart into the natural health field.
I completed an apprenticeship at a clinic in Canberra while simultaneously studying Herbal Medicine with Dorothy Hall, a well known Herbalist of her generation.
In 1998 I moved to Newcastle and worked for 5 years in a multi-disciplinary clinic while my husband completed his Medical studies. We moved to Wollongong in 2003 & I established a home-based practice soon afterwards.
I love learning and ongoing education and receive regular mentoring. I believe this is so important in the healthcare field where knowledge is updated all the time. In 2018, I completed a course on Integrative support for people with cancer, taught by American Naturopathic Oncologist Lise Alschuler.
In 2021, I graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine Management (with professional honours in Complementary Medicine) from the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Tasmania. Following this research my paper, 'Medicinal mushrooms (specifically Reishi mushroom) as an adjuvant treatment in breast cancer,' was published and I was a finalist in the NHAA journal article of the year in 2022.
I am dedicated to supporting women on the perimenopausal journey and beyond. In November 2023 I had the privilege of presenting a talk on 'Perimenopause, Naturally' at a Perimenopause evening held at the Headlands Hotel. And more recently I have given another talk on Peri/menopause to a group of local women at a Bulli gym.
As a practitioner however, I am commited to supporting anyone in need through personalised and holistic care.
