I’m Kat (short for Katrina 😄) and I’m based in St Heliers, Auckland. I have three kids (boy, girl, boy), and a very energetic border collie who likes to take us for about 3 walks a day. More if he could!
I'm really passionate about using natural medicine to help people get better….truly better, not just temporarily putting a plaster on the symptoms, but to get to the real cause of why those awful, debilitating symptoms are happening in the first place. 🥲 Naturopaths are health detectives and we love nothing more than solving your health problems 🔎.
It is so rewarding seeing patients become well, feel amazing, and regain their old spark and zest for life again. I love taking the extra time to hold my patients hands through their treatment plans, to make sure they are on track and feel really supported. ❤️
My wish is to make natural medicine more accessible to everyone and that’s why I offer cheaper online consultations as well as in-clinic (face to face consultations). I also offer my local community home visits too. That way, I hope to reach everyone that needs help. 🥰
These are just some of the things that I can help with…
🌿 Fatigue
🌿 Mood & Anxiety
🌿 Skin
🌿 Hormonal problems
🌿 Gut issues
🌿 Sleep difficulties
🌿 Complex cases... and much much more.
That's a little bit about me, wishing you a happy week everyone!! ❤️❤️
Quite often, when your body gives signals that it’s not well, or out of balance, we ignore it, we put up with it, and try to continue on with our daily lives. I like to call these body signals ‘red flags.’ 🚩

Red flags can be ongoing body pain, severe anxiety, chronic fatigue, frequent migraines, stomach pain, menstrual issues, skin problems. and so much more. Quite often, it’s not until we’re in a really bad state of health that we finally seek help. Sometimes it’s too late.
So why do we do this to ourselves? Well, the theory is that the first step is always the hardest to accomplish because you have zero momentum. You have to pick up out of nowhere and begin, and that’s really hard. Often, you may not even know where to begin so you avoid attending to your health issues altogether. You put up with feeling cranky, anxious, exhausted, or in pain. You’re not feeling good, so you’re not enjoying life. But wouldn’t it be great to feel balanced and full of vitality again. Why wait until you’ve fallen off the edge of the cliff? 🚑
It’s so much easier to get your health back on track when you make the first step as soon as your body signals to you that it needs help.
Take the first step now, and your body will really thank you...❤️

There are several factors that cause acne making it a complex condition to treat:
1. Hormonal imbalances – certain medical conditions, and life stages such as adolescence and perimenopause can create hormonal imbalances. This can cause excess oestrogen or androgen hormones which get converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT causes the body to produce sebum for acne bacteria to feed on. The more DHT, the more sebum, the more bacteria, the more acne.
2. Genetic susceptibility – some people have gene SNPs that reduce their ability to eliminate toxins and used hormones from the body. This can cause a build-up of excess oestrogen or androgens which can get converted to DHT causing acne.
3. Diet – both sugar and dairy are strongly linked with acne. Sugar causes the body to produce the hormone insulin to shunt glucose into cells so we can produce energy. However, consuming too many sugary foods, drinks, or refined foods can cause excess insulin to be produced. Insulin then upregulates the production of DHT causing acne. Dairy contains inflammatory mediators that can make acne worse.
4. Stress – when you are stressed, your body produces cortisol. Cortisol causes your body to release glucose and produce insulin (so you have energy to deal with physical or emotional stress). However, if you are stressed for prolonged periods of time, excess cortisol is produced, which can cause insulin to be converted into DHT causing acne.
There are other factors such as poor gut health, nutrient deficiencies, sleep problems, and environmental factors that can contribute to acne too.
It is important to take an integrated approach and treat all the contributing factors for acne to go away. This can differ for every person. Therefore, an acne treatment plan, tailored especially for your unique situation, can help you enjoy clear skin again. This may include targeted acne supplements or a herbal tonic, topical treatments, dietary, and lifestyle recommendations.
