​Free Practitioner Guide:
🚩​ 7 Red Flags of Disordered Eating You May Be Missing

Higher rates of disordered eating show up in PCOS, IBS, endometriosis, coeliac disease, diabetes — and yet most naturopaths, herbalists, and nutritionists were never trained to recognise it.

​This free guide outlines the seven most commonly missed red flags in natural health practice, plus simple language shifts and practice prompts you can implement immediately to reduce harm and practise safely.

​If you’ve ever worried you might be unintentionally reinforcing restriction, start here.

🎥 Free Live Webinar:
How to Avoid Reinforcing Disordered Eating in Clients 

Picture
📅 Tuesday 28 April 
​⏰ 12:00pm - 1:00pm AEST
📍 Live on Zoom


​Elimination protocols, weight-loss agendas, functional testing, metabolic health framing — when does “optimisation” tip into harm?

In this live training, we unpack how wellness culture can industrialise disordered eating, how natural health practitioners can unintentionally reinforce the very harm they're trying to avoid, how to stay within scope, and how to work ethically alongside GPs and dietitians without overreaching. Practical, nuanced, and clinically grounded.

for Naturopaths, Herbalists & Nutritionists

Cohort 1 Launching April 2026! This advanced training invites natural health practitioners to raise the standard of care in disordered-eating-adjacent presentations.

You’ll learn to recognise restriction when it hides behind “gut healing” and hormone protocols, assess adequacy before escalation, and practise within a clear, scope-safe, weight-inclusive framework — so well-meaning care never unintentionally causes harm.

When you join the waitlist, you'll receive my free practitioner guide: Working with Clients with Disordered Eating for Naturopaths (available only for waitlisters) PLUS my newsletter for practitioners who want practical tools, critical reflections, and herbal musings in their inbox every 1-2 weeks.

​Private Mentoring for Practitioners


​For naturopaths, herbalists, nutritionists, dietitians, and students wanting supervision or guidance in:

  • Working with clients with disordered eating and body image concerns
  • Integrating intuitive eating, HAES, weight-neutral, and non-diet approaches into natural medicine practice
  • Unpacking your own conditioning around food, health, and worth
  • Have taken a break from practice (maternity leave, globetrotting, burn out - it's real, no judgment, I've been there!) and are ready to return to the profession
  • Mentoring sessions are collaborative, trauma-informed, and reflective - not prescriptive.

Whether you’re early in practice or seasoned and burnt out, this is a space to reconnect to your “why.”
