Sandra is the clinic’s Naturopath and Acupuncturist. With a strong interest and passion in IVF support, reproductive health, natural fertility, and hormone balancing.
Sandra is available for naturopathic support once you have seen and implemented the necessary nutritional changes with our Nutritionist Stacie. Stacie and Sandra work closely together.
In situations where patients have already made their own dietary changes, we still recommend an initial review with Stacie as she may still need to recommend modifications based on the collaborative approach that Stacie and Sandra use for treating certain health conditions, and which foods will best support any healing, hormone support or fertility health. Stacie will go through with you the necessary recommendations to further support your health by nutritional changes or tweaks to your existing diet.
Sandra looks at the various factors contributing to infertility and hormone imbalances. She believes everyone’s response to such factors is different which may or may not affect fertility and hormone health. It also cannot be ignored that those who are affected are often left without answers as to why trying to conceive has become so difficult, and why their body is not regulating or processing their hormones correctly.
Sandra incorporates the complementary therapies of Naturopathy and Nutritional Medicine as part of her Acupuncture treatments to give patients the highest level of personalized care. Diet and Supplementation advice is also recommended as part of an ongoing service to ensure optimal health.
Sandra has a particular interest in improving egg and sperm quality, and this comes down to her knowledge in nutritional medicine. Sandra promotes products that have TGA approved ingredients that have undergone clinical trials to show benefit and efficacy in relation to IVF improvement in egg and sperm quality, Natural fertility and gynecological conditions.
Sandra believes in looking at all the factors both for female and male fertility and recommends a Nutritional treatment plan based on a couple’s current test results, history and age, which may provide assistance.
Sandra has also had extensive experience and ongoing success with supporting hormone imbalances. As a mother of two children and a busy clinic, she understands first hand the importance in supporting the body’s hormones and adrenals. She has helped hundreds of women to feel a renewed sense of balance physically, mentally and emotionally. Some of the common symptoms treated and supported include;

What is involved in a Naturopathic consult via telehealth?
The first part is dedicated to going through your health questionnaire as well as any other relevant information that Sandra may require. It is important at this time for Sandra to get a good understanding of your health goals and how you are feeling not just physically, but also how your health concerns may be impacting you mentally or emotionally.
The second part occurs once the consultation is finished and involves Sandra making a final review of your consultation as well as reviewing relevant blood tests or results and formulating a treatment plan.
Our reception staff will organise all the treatment plan information and send it to you along with any blood test or supplement recommendations Sandra may have. Normally we recommend a follow up appointment to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes at that time. Any supplements that are recommended by Sandra can be posted out to you or arranged to be collected at the clinic.
