Clinical Weight Management Program
A natural weight management program individualised for you, because everybody is different!
Katherine looks at weight loss as a state of imbalance. Her clinical weight loss program is different for every person that she sees as her clients are treated as individuals, not simply weight loss patients.
By completing a naturopathic weight management program with Katherine you will experience enormous benefit to your energy levels, concentration, moods, and general well-being, along with weight loss of course!
Katherine’s weight management program works to re-balance and replenish your body on an individual level. There may be underlying biochemical imbalances or health conditions contributing to your weight issues, which can only be brought to light by personalised assessment of your entire health.
Unlike an off-the-shelf program, a naturopathic weight loss plan is specifically designed for each individual. By applying her clinical expertise Katherine can tailor this program to meet your body’s own specific biochemical requirements, as well as your lifestyle.

Pre Conception Health Care Program
Katherine loves working with couples who have decided to start or expand their family and uses a variety of techniques to promote a healthy conception and pregnancy.
Having optimum nutrition and general health is the best way to ensure that a healthy pregnancy is achieved and that your baby has the best chance of good health.
Katherine finds that the best way to achieve this is with a healthy diet and lifestyle, but often uses herbs, nutrients, and other interventions to help a couple in their quest for a healthy conception.
Studies have shown that good preconception care can improve your chances of falling pregnant, with 81% of previously infertile couples being able to fall pregnant with natural fertility management according to the foresight study.
Research is strongly indicating that your health prior to conception has huge impacts on the health of your child, from immune issues as children to have a higher chance of developing the disease as adults. Ensuring that your health is optimum prior to conceiving is the only way to ensure you have given your child the very best start to life.
