Becoming a naturopath was a career change taking me back to follow my passion for food, health and healing practices which work in harmony with the mind and body. My enthusiasm for food and health started in my teenage years with an interest in cooking, and led to the completion of a BSc (Hon) degree in Food and Human Nutrition in the UK.
After graduation, a position in food product development progressed to a successful career within the corporate environment, working predominantly as a buyer and category manager for several global retail organisations.

The first documented use of herbal remedies dates back thousands of years and was one of the first forms of medicines used by men and women. Naturopaths are trained in western herbal medicine using herbal tablets, liquid extracts and teas. The herbal extracts can be blended together to suit individual needs, and are useful in the treatment of many common conditions or for the maintenance of good health.
As naturopaths we use herbal and nutritional medicine to promote the healing of acute or chronic conditions. These address any imbalance in the body and support self healing and the return to good health. The length of your treatment plan can depend on various factors including how long an illness or symptoms have been active, your age, current lifestyle choices and overall state of health.
The Fitgenes program is based on the science of Nutrigenomics, which simply means how our genes are influenced by our nutrition, exercise and lifestyle. Scientific evidence now tells us that our genes are not static i.e. we do not have to be destined to develop a disease just because our other family members did or we have an established weakness in that area.
The urinary indican test is used to screen for bacterial links to digestive issues. It is a quick urine test completed in the practice, results are available within 10 minutes. Following an initial consultation if the test is recommended you will be given a specimen jar enabling you to bring a urine sample to your next consult.
It was learning to cook in my teenage years that inspired me to get into food and nutrition. I've always been a creative cook but my style of cooking depth of knowledge has evolved over the last 20 years as my own health requirements have changed. I am most passionate about creating beautiful healthy meals that taste amazing.

I have been a patient of Sharon since 2015 and in that time have found her a true professional and a wonderful health support. Her knowledge and intuition is outstanding and i highly recommend her to anyone seeking to engage the skills of a naturopath.
Sharon has helped guide me through difficulties with perimenopause, weight gain, stress and anxiety, fatigue and hormonal imblanaces. I would not be without her. Her kind and caring nature coupled with her non-judgmental but stern advice make her stand out from other health professionals.
I have full trust in her recommendations for me and she

Ive been struggling with stomach digestion and food allergy issues for over 2 years before seeing Sharon, I went to many General Practitioners and have had many tests done but no one could give me a correct diagnosis or any solutions for my issues. I have been experiencing bloating and stomach pain almost everyday that prevented me from enjoying life fully. I found Sharon through an online platform and made the appointment - she is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge in food and nutrition. Finally after years of suffering and not knowing what is wrong with me, Sharon correctly diagnosed

I attended an initial consultation which exceeded my expectations. Sharon was non-judgemental and very informative. She provided a lot of clarity for me, as well as providing me with a solid plan to make changes. Sharon was supportive and understanding, and encouraged me to make a couple of changes at a time rather than being overwhelmed (which happens easily to me!)
I know that many things I'm doing aren't helping my health. I'm pretty aware of what I *should* be doing, but Sharon gave me some strategies and (optional) supplements to help me get there.
I'll be returning in a month and will then

I have been Sharon's client since 2012, when I contacted her as a last resort after 3 years of spending $$$ on specialists, rheumatologists, acupuncturists etc. and being prescribed harsh medication for an unexplained condition, living with chronic pain.
Within only a few weeks of working with her, she managed to relieve my symptoms and I have been living symptom free for many years now. Sharon goes above and beyond for her clients. When it comes to a holistic practitioner, I haven't come across someone more dedicated and knowledgeable. Couldn't recommend her expertise highly enough.

I needed professional advice to fix a gut dysbiosis and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome as result of some poor food choices and lifestyle factors , but I am not happy with the help that I have been provided. First of all I have been prescribed a new diet without warning me of the side effects that a quick change could cause me in a short term, then I have been told to adjust my diet based simply on my symptoms, my personal experience, so it means no lab tests, no scientific data to back up her observations. I got discouraged at this point because my symptoms would flare up unexpectedly

Sharon was able to work with me via Skype, Australia to New York!!
I have been concerned about my lifestyle, eating habits and general well being.
I had no idea how much I would learn on one call!
Sharon spent 1 1/2 hrs asking me lots of questions about my diet, my health in terms of energy levels, digestion, well being etc. My fitness regime. My… general lifestyle. It was like getting a verbal cleanse via Skype.
With her incredible knowledge and expertise she pointed out many areas in my life where I need to pay attention and make changes.
The information was very insightful. Such as hormonal
