Concussion recovery for your whole body, not just your brain
Concussion injuries are not limited to the brain. They set off a cascade of events throughout the entire body, and that requires a systemic approach.
Welcome to The Concussion Naturopath: Personalised, evidence-led, naturopathic care to support your recovery, throughout your whole body, at any stage of injury: from days to decades past.
1:1 naturopathic consultations for concussion and post-concussion symptoms, plus dedicated acute care in the first 14 days after injury. I assess your full health history, organise any testing referrals that sharpen the precision of your care, and build a plan that meets you where you're at. All via telehealth.
Initial consultation $265 (60 min) · Follow-ups $195 (30 min) · Acute care $95 · Free 10-min Fit Call
Let’s find the answers together
Your symptoms linger long after your concussion and no one can clearly explain why
You’ve been told to rest, wait it out or accept a “new normal” that feels nothing like your old self.

RECOVERY DOESN’T BEGIN WITH REST… IT BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING.
Concussion Recovery can look different
What would happen if:
Your symptoms finally made sense… not guesswork, not reassurance, but real clarity about what changed in your body after your injury.
Your plan directly addressed all of your interconnected symptoms, with clear, actionable steps that align with your capacity.
If your recovery felt structured, achievable and clinically guided, so you were never left feeling confused or overwhelmed.
You didn’t have to navigate it alone, and instead were supported by someone who understood the bigger picture.
What you can expect when working together
Concussion recovery isn’t a straight line it's an evolving process. That’s why we approach it step by step, not all at once.

Acute Care | For the days following a Concussion
Focused, short-notice support for acute prescribing in the first days (up to two weeks) following a head injury. This is not a full health history or systemic workup, it's targeted care for the acute window.
If you're further out from injury, or looking for in-depth, whole-body support, an Initial Consultation or Concussion Recovery Foundations is the right starting point instead.

Concussion recovery is a team effort. As a clinical naturopath, I work alongside your GP, specialists and any other health providers involved in your care. I provide evidence-aligned naturopathic care that complements your medical treatment, addressing the systemic mechanisms of concussion where physiology is still disrupted, symptoms linger, and healing needs deeper direction.
Where I fit in your care
BHSc (Naturopathy) | NHAA (Naturopaths and Herbalists Association Australia)
Nothing is random, everything is connected.
Persistent inflammation doesn't resolve without targeted support. Your body is asking for help.
-
I take a full injury history and health timeline, map your symptoms across all body systems including your brain, gut, immune, hormonal and energy systems, and build clinical reasoning based on your unique presentation. From there, you'll get individualised herbal and nutritional prescriptions, and functional testing where it meaningfully guides your care.
-
Concussion, post-concussion syndrome, multiple head injuries, athletes, high-risk sport, long-term symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or gut and hormonal changes after injury.
-
Acute care is a focused 20-minute appointment for immediate prescribing support in the first 14 days after a head impact. It's booked through the same link as any other appointment. It gets you started quickly when timing matters most, but it isn't a substitute for a full consultation, especially if your medical history is complex or you've experienced repetitive head trauma. In those cases, I'll recommend moving to an initial consultation
-
All consultations are delivered via telehealth unless specifically arranged otherwise. Your personalised plan is provided within 3 business days. Herbs and supplements can be shipped directly to your door. Available Australia-wide and internationally by arrangement.
-
Initial consultation $265 (60 minutes), follow-ups $195 (30 minutes), acute care $95 (20 minutes), and a free 10-minute Fit Call if you'd like to talk it through first. Herbal and nutritional prescriptions are additional and quoted individually. Naturopathy is eligible for private health insurance rebates, depending on your provider.
-
Your doctor manages acute symptoms and rules out structural damage. I work on the systemic cascade that is outside their scope, including gut permeability, immune activation, mitochondrial function and hormonal disruption. I don't replace medical care. I complement it.
-
Every person is different. Factors include injury history, health status, genetics, lifestyle and how the plan is implemented. Your plan is personalised accordingly.
-
No. Unresolved inflammation and physiological disruption don't necessarily resolve on their own. Naturopathic support can be valuable months, years or decades after injury.
-
Yes. I work with recreational, amateur and elite athletes across all sports. Let me know the specific regulations of your sport or governing body so we can work within your rules.
-
Naturopathy has been approved for reinstatement into private health insurance. Coverage now depends on your individual insurer, so please check with your provider.
-
Every recovery is unique. My goal is to get you to a point where you no longer need ongoing care, because you can feel well.
