Every consultation starts
with the same question:
what is actually driving this?
Cassandra offers clinical naturopathic consultations in-clinic in Canberra and online across Australia and New Zealand. Whether you're coming with a specific diagnosis, a set of symptoms, or a feeling that something just isn't right — the approach is the same. Start with the full picture. Build a plan around your actual biology.
This isn't symptom management.
It's root cause medicine.
Most people who find their way to Cassandra have already been through the standard medical system. They've had blood tests, seen specialists, perhaps tried elimination diets or standard supplements. They've been told their results are normal — but they don't feel normal. That gap is exactly where naturopathic medicine works.
A naturopathic consultation goes where a GP appointment can't. Cassandra spends 60–90 minutes on your initial intake — taking a full health history, reviewing your existing pathology with a functional lens, and building a complete picture of how your body is functioning. From there, every treatment plan is built around your specific biology, not a standard protocol.
Six areas of deep
clinical expertise
While trained across all areas of naturopathic practice, Cassandra's deepest clinical experience lies in the following. Each is treated as a complete system — not a symptom to be managed.
Acne, eczema, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, premature ageing — treated from the inside out. As founder of Ocinium skincare, Cassandra is the only practitioner who can treat your skin comprehensively from both sides.
Learn more →Hormonal health, fertility, PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, thyroid conditions and MTHFR. A functional approach to women's hormonal health that reads the full picture — not just TSH and oestradiol.
Learn more →IBS, bloating, microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, SIBO, leaky gut. The gut is where Cassandra often starts — even when the presenting complaint is skin, hormones or mood.
Learn more →Anxiety, low mood, burnout, poor sleep, adrenal fatigue and pyrrole disorder. Mental wellness is biochemical as much as psychological — and the biochemistry is measurable, testable and treatable.
Learn more →DNA nutrition testing, methylation, MTHFR, nutrient deficiency analysis, metabolic health. Nutrition that's built around your genes — not population averages or generic dietary advice.
Learn more →Epigenetics, biological age testing, mitochondrial health, NAD⁺, inflammageing, hormonal ageing and skin longevity. Evidence-based longevity medicine — not wellness trends.

a consultation
Every new client goes through the same three-stage process. There are no shortcuts — because shortcuts are what produced the incomplete answers you've already received.
A thorough intake covering your full health history, symptoms, existing pathology, medications, diet, stress, sleep and goals. Cassandra reviews any test results you already have and identifies where the gaps are. This is the foundation everything else is built on — and it's the part that most practitioners skip.
Where the clinical picture needs more clarity, Cassandra orders functional pathology — microbiome analysis, comprehensive hormone panels, genetic panels, food reactivity testing, nutritional status, oxidative stress markers. These are tests that go beyond standard GP panels and are interpreted through a functional lens.
A complete written treatment plan covering nutrition, herbal medicine, practitioner-grade supplements, lifestyle adjustments — and where relevant, a prescribed Ocinium skincare routine. Reviewed and refined at follow-up appointments as your results come in and your body responds.
Testing that goes beyond
what your GP ordered
Standard pathology is designed to detect disease — not to reveal the functional imbalances that drive symptoms in otherwise "healthy" people. The tests below are used selectively, based on what your clinical picture indicates.
GI-MAP or Doctors Data stool testing — bacterial diversity, pathogenic overgrowths, parasites, inflammation markers, digestive enzyme function. The foundation of gut health investigation.
Full thyroid (TSH, T4, T3, rT3, antibodies), sex hormones, DHEA-S, cortisol rhythm (saliva/urine), oestrogen metabolites (DUTCH test). Goes far beyond what a standard GP panel covers.
MTHFR, COMT, MTR, CBS, CYP variants and broader DNA nutrition panels. Reveals how your unique genetic architecture affects nutrient needs, hormone metabolism and detoxification.
DNA methylation clocks (Horvath, GrimAge) that measure your true biological age versus chronological age — revealing the rate of cellular ageing and where intervention is most impactful.
Intracellular magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, CoQ10, essential fatty acid profile, vitamin D, B12, folate, fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, homocysteine.
IgG food sensitivity panels revealing delayed immune reactions to foods — the kind that don't cause immediate symptoms but drive chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction and skin conditions.

"I've battled an autoimmune condition for many years and the standard medical treatment just wasn't working. Cassandra reviewed my entire medical history, connected me to specialists and offered new solutions and alternatives to the traditional treatment. She taught me how to manage the condition through diet, nutritional supplementation and exercise. One of the most satisfying aspects of working with Cassandra is that she cares deeply for her clients and goes above and beyond to improve their lives."
