A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECLAIMING YOUR HEALTH.
Welcome to True Nature Nutritional Therapy, an online functional nutrition clinic based in Cairns, tropical North Queensland, Australia.
As a functional nutritionist I focus on approaching clients concerns from the root. This means rather than chasing symptoms and band aiding them with medications or low grade supplements we dig deep to find the real drivers behind your concerns. When clients are experiencing symptoms of poor digestion like irritable bowels, gas, constipation or food intolerances we do an in depth analysis to understand why these symptoms are presenting. It could be for example- a lack of sufficient stomach acid, digestive enzymes, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies or lifestyle stressors. Through our one on one consultations together we create a protocol of support via dietary shifts which may include therapeutics foods, targeted supplementation, plus lifestyle habit recommendations.
The same applies to other concerns clients come to me with like hormone imbalances, irregular cycles, poor sleep, stress and weight-loss.
I work virtually with clients across Australia and in-person for those local to Cairns.
If you’re ready for more, and to start your journey to transforming your health book a complimentary consultation today.
“The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”

Of the 6 foundations of functional nutrition a nutrient dense and well prepared diet sits at the core. Although it is essential to address digestion to make sure we are absorbing all the good nutrients we’re eating, making sure we are fuelling the body with nutrient rich foods allows our body the greatest chance to heal, grow and repair.
Macronutrients which include quality proteins, whole foods carbohydrates, and healthy fats are the building block to our cellular make-up and act as the precursor to hormone production, supply energy and allow for all optimal function of the body organs, systems and glands.
Additional micronutrients found in fresh whole foods supply vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which play a critical role all of our body’s processes- from immune function, bone health, heart and brain function.
It’s often recited that the human body is 60-70% water by weight, however, on a molecular level it is closer to 99%. Water and the adequate minerals to utilise them in the body is critical for all functions in the body. It is the number 1 nutrient needed and is often the least appreciated.
Most of us are walking around chronically dehydrated. Research shows this is due to our modern fast paced lives distracting us from our thirst signals, in addition to an increased consumption of caffeine, soda, and refined foods. This is before we even begin to address water quality- with most municipal taps offering chemical laden water devoid of minerals.
The quality of our water, what we hold it in, how much we are having is vital for optimal wellbeing. Allowing all other nutrient to be transported through the body, the make-up of our blood, removal of waste and detoxification.
Even for the most health conscious living in our modern world has a heaven burden on our body with chemicals, toxins, additives and plastics left, right and centre. Unfortunately these toxins can build up in our system and cause havoc. Some mimicking our own body’s hormones and plugging up our receptors, leading to hormonal imbalances and lowering immune function.
All these environmental toxins further put a huge stress on our detoxification organs, especially the liver which is involved in 500+ functions in the body.
When we add extra burden these toxins can be recirculated and leave us feeling unwell and tired, while contributing to further health concerns like hormone imbalances, immune and gut dysfunction, and skin issues.
Supporting our bodies detoxification pathways allows our bodies to clear these substances helping us feel clear and energised.
