Clinical Nutrition
One of Annmarie’s passion areas is around Nutrition. She has seen firsthand how inadequate nutrition can negatively impact health for generations. This is why she went on to complete her Masters in Human Nutrition.
Annmarie is fascinated by the role nutrients have in improving genetic expression, improving overall health and in the prevention of ill health.
She advocates for adequate nutrition during the preconception, pregnancy and post-natal time and absolutely loves educating patients in these areas, after all, what we put in our mouth impacts the next generation for years to come.
Another area of passion is around starting solids. Having 2 boys, 2 years apart, Annmarie understands the stress that can surround solid introduction. Through her knowledge and firsthand experience, Annmarie is able to guide you through this process, to make it less stressful and laborious.
Although Annmarie likes to educate patients in adequate dietary intake unfortunately, for some people, diet is not enough to make a change. In such cases and where there are nutrient deficiencies, Annmarie will advise patients to take a supplement that is tailored to their needs and health requirements.
Quality, sustainably sourced and organic produce is a passion of Annmarie’s, and she is very mindful of the food she eats and in turn, recommends to her patients.
Prenatal, Pregnancy and Postnatal Support
One of the most demanding time in a woman’s life is pregnancy. The physical, mental and emotional toll it can take requires additional support.
Preconception and pregnancy is a passion are for Annmarie. The work you do to optimise your nutrition and health during this time means you can greatly influence the health of future generations.

Annmarie is a passionate advocate for women’s health, especially post natally and works closely with midwives, lactational consultants and physiotherapists to ensure you have that quintessential village around you.
Annmarie utilises her knowledge around nutritional medicine as well as understanding the complex ebb and flow of hormones to ensure you are adequately supported during this beautiful time.
Naturopathy, General Health and Herbal Medicine
Naturopathy encompasses areas of nutritional, herbal medicine, as well as lifestyle medicine. What drew Annmarie to this field of health is due to its holistic and patient centred approach. No one patient is the same and the ability to tailor treatment and advice is what Annmarie loves most and what contributes to patients in improving their health outcomes.
