ABOUT BIANCA:
I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the beautiful Darkinjung land on which I live and work. My business is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated.
I am a degree qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist, Iridologist, proud Yuin woman and mother who is passionate about supporting individuals to deeply understand their body’s unique wisdom so they can thrive and feel their best. 
I feel strongly about holding a safe space for patients to feel heard, supported and empowered. I concurrently work in the community welfare field where I have gained valuable insights into healing trauma and cultivating emotional resilience. I incorporate this knowledge and empathetic approach into my practice. 
I offer a gentle treatment approach which weaves clinical insights with the ancient wisdom of plant medicines, food as medicine, lifestyle modifications and client education to deliver a deep healing experience which will bring the body back into balance and uncover the root cause of health concerns. 
My special interests include women’s health, mental health/emotional wellbeing, hormonal imbalances, preconception, postpartum support, stress, exhaustion and sleep difficulties. As a busy mother to a young child I am especially passionate about supporting mothers to feel their best.
