Hi, I’m Jennifer and I am a Senior Naturopath and owner of Hälsa Health. I am trained in herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, health & lifestyle coaching with 8 years clinical experience and am currently completing a Masters of Reproductive Medicine.
Jennifer’s passion lies in reproductive health. Women are powerful beings sometimes beyond their own belief, it constantly amazes me what women are capable of, particularly when it comes to creating and caring for new life. The journey to becoming a mother is an exciting and often overwhelming time, I provide naturopathic support and guidance through the journey from navigating preconception care all the way to motherhood and beyond.
Guidance includes; stage by stage supplement support ensuring quality, safety and accuracy, dietary advice (including recipes), movement & mindfulness support and education on what to expect each step of the way. I work with each patient and their healthcare team including GP’s, midwives, Obstetricians, doula’s, acupuncturists etc.
I meet my patients wherever they are in their journey.
My journey to naturopathic fertility care began when I fell pregnant with my first child, Lily. Understanding just how powerful the female body was from a biological, physical and emotional standpoint gave me an even greater respect for women going through their own fertility journey and a burning desire to make their experience as positive as possible. Through my own positive experience, I was able to better understand the journey to motherhood each step of the way which I am now fortunate to pass on to my patients. My journey inspired my further studies in Reproductive Medicine which is assisting me to bridge the gap between the world of medicine and alternative therapies.
I find it most rewarding when my patients speak positively about their pregnancy experience and carry on that vitality into the fourth trimester and beyond.
Outside the hälsa studio, I often lose track of time while:
Dancing around the house with my little girl Lily and husband Jeremy, spending time in the sunshine or by the water with friends & family, and anything related to moving my body, that might be pilates, yoga, running, swimming, cycling, bushwalking.
My perfect day looks like:
An early start enjoying quality time with my family (and a cup of chai), followed by a wholesome meal, walk around our local area and a nature-filled afternoon spent with friends perhaps by the beach or in a grassy park.
