Feeling Like Your Body & Mind Are Betraying You?

YOU’RE NOTICING CHANGES THAT CONCERN YOU - WHETHER YOU’RE FEELING EXHAUSTED BEYOND YOUR YEARS, OR MAYBE YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HIGH CHOLESTEROL, BLOOD PRESSURE ISSUES, PRE-DIABETES OR SOMETHING ELSE. THINGS THAT ONCE FELT MANAGEABLE ARE BECOMING MORE CHALLENGING.

Your memory & concentration aren't what they should be
You're tired despite getting reasonable sleep
Dismissed by doctors who say everything’s “normal”
Frustrated with digestive issues that control your social life
Your energy crashes at predictable times
You're losing confidence in your mental abilities
You're overwhelmed by conflicting health advice online

The questions that keep you awake …

Is this just normal aging, or could I do something about this?

I don't want to just accept decline, or jump straight to medication, if there's a better way.

You Know Something's Not Right, But Don’t Want to Accept “This is normal” or “It’s just aging”

Your Work Performance is Suffering

You're not as sharp in meetings as you used to be. You're double checking everything & taking longer to make decisions. Colleagues haven't noticed yet, but you're worried they will.

Your Doctor Wants You on Medication

You've been told your cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar is "borderline" & medication might be next. You want to try natural approaches first, but feel like you're running out of time.

You're Avoiding Social Situations

Names escape you mid-conversation, you lose track of what people are saying, &/or you’re achy, sore & feeling you can’t keep up. You're declining invitations because you're embarrassed about these moments.

You're Losing Confidence in Yourself

Tasks that were once effortless are now more of a struggle. You're second-guessing yourself more often & feeling frustrated that your body & mind aren't keeping up with your ambitions.

You Want to Be Proactive, Not Reactive

YOU KNOW THAT WAITING UNTIL PROBLEMS GET WORSE ISN’T SMART.

YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW & ADDRESS IT NATURALLY, BEFORE YOU’RE TOLD MEDICATION IS YOUR ONLY OPTION. OR PERHAPS YOU’RE ALREADY ON MEDS, SUFFERING WITH SIDE EFFECTS, & WANT TO EXPLORE IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

By the way, there is a ‘hybrid model’ - sometimes meds are a ‘necessary evil’ & that’s OK too.

What If You Could Turn Back the Clock on Aging?

Imagine waking up with the energy & vitality you had 10 years ago, having steady energy all day, & feeling confident about your health future. You CAN protect your heart, brain, metabolism & overall vitality for decades to come.

HERE’S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND ABOUT AGEING.

YOU’RE NOT DESTINED FOR DECLINE & DISEASE!

As they say, "Your genes load the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger." Your genetics gave you a foundation, but everything that's happened since - every stress, trauma, health challenge, job, relationship, diet, sleep, exercise habits, toxin exposure, infections, medications, emotional experiences, & life transitions, even your thought patterns - have been layered on top of those genes.

The you looking back at you in the mirror today, is the result of all those life experiences affecting your epigenetics (a fancy way of saying how your environment influences your genes).

THE EXCITING NEWS?

WHILST YOU CAN’T CHANGE YOUR GENES, YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN CHANGE WHAT GETS LAYERED ON TOP OF THEM. YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR HEART, BRAIN, METABOLISM & OVERALL VITALITY, FOR DECADES TO COME.

WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME, YOU’LL FINALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO TELL YOUR WHOLE STORY, & REALLY FEEL HEARD. I ACT AS YOUR OWN PRIVATE HEALTH DETECTIVE - WE START WITH YOUR STANDARD BLOOD TESTS, TO GATHER THE FACTS. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO TAKE A FIRST LOOK “UNDER THE HOOD”, & WE’LL NO DOUBT ALREADY BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOME KEY PATTERNS. YOU’LL RECEIVE A WRITTEN REPORT WITH BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT HELP STEER OUR NEXT STEPS.

AFTER THAT, WE REALLY START TO DIG DEEP IN “THE WELLNESS KICKSTART” (A 2-PART APPOINTMENT) WHERE I TAKE THE TIME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE, & HOW IT’S AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH.

YOU’LL NEVER FEEL RUSHED OR DISMISSED. TOGETHER WE’LL JOIN THE DOTS BETWEEN YOUR HISTORY & SYMPTOMS, AS WE EXPLORE YOUR COMPLETE HEALTH PICTURE.

WE IDENTIFY WHAT NEEDS ADDRESSING FIRST, & WE MAY LOOK AT ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL TESTING, THAT WILL HELP UNCOVER UNDERLYING ROOT CAUSES, IN YOUR HEALTH PICTURE. THE WELLNESS PLAN YOU RECEIVE WILL BE PRACTICAL, REALISTIC, & DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR LIFE - NOT A GENERIC PROTOCOL THAT WORKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE (OR EVEN WORSE, THAT’S BEING RECOMMENDED AS THE LATEST TREND ON THE INTERNET).

I encourage all my clients to be "the CEO of their own health," & I'll be like your trusted advisor as we work together to meet your goals. These can change & progress as you see the amazing things your body can do when given the right support & return to balance. We can continue working together for as long as it takes - change is tough, but I'll be right there beside you, helping you through the challenging bits. And of course, when life inevitably gets in the way, I'll always meet you where you're at.

I'm Caro, & I have a special interest in helping you age without feeling old. I understand how frustrating it is when you know something's not right, but everyone says you're "fine", or that it’s just a part of aging, or perhaps you’re being pushed down the “just take this medication” route (followed by another to deal with the side effects of the first?!). It can be a slippery slide downhill!

Your Path to Optimal Health & Vitality

NO GUESSWORK. NO GENERIC ADVICE.

JUST A PERSONALISED, STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH THAT PROTECTS YOUR HEALTH & VITALITY FOR THE LONG HAUL.

Smart Pathology Analysis

We start with your standard blood tests, viewed through a naturopathic lens, looking for “optimal health”, not just “disease detection”. We spot early warning signs & patterns that conventional medicine misses. This reveals a lot about what's affecting your heart, brain, metabolism, energy & more.

Step 1 let's go!
Your Personalised Wellness Plan

Through “The Wellness Kickstart” 2-appointment consultation, you get to tell your whole story, really “be heard”, & receive your tailored wellness plan with practical, achievable steps that fit your lifestyle. No overwhelming protocols - just clear, strategic guidance, rooted in science & empathy.

Step 2 I'm Ready
Targeted Investigations if Needed

When needed, we use functional testing to dig deeper - uncovering toxins, nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, & mitochondrial issues that have been layered on your genetics over time. We can also do your genetics. These tests can also be offered as a stand-alone service.

Let's dig deeper
Ongoing Individualised Optimisation

Initially we meet regularly (usually monthly) until you reach your goals. We can then arrange 6-monthly or annual follow ups, to ensure you stay on track, & we aim to pick up anything early before it becomes an issue. Your proactive health insurance.

Real People, Remarkable Transformations

“My GP wanted me on statins for high cholesterol, but I wanted to try natural approaches first. Caro's testing revealed specific nutrient deficiencies & inflammation markers. We then did a deep dive, & 6 months later, my cholesterol is in healthy ranges naturally, my energy is so much better, I’ve even lost some weight as a bonus, & I feel amazing.”

Anna S., 58, Wellington

“I was exhausted & had been told I was pre-diabetic. Caro found that gut imbalances, as well as many of my current lifestyle habits, were affecting my blood sugar regulation. We also uncovered other issues that we caught before they became serious. Now my energy is steady all day & my latest tests show everything back in optimal ranges.”

Daniel K., 45, Kapiti Coast

“The brain fog & afternoon crashes were destroying my productivity. Rather than accepting it as normal aging, Caro uncovered thyroid & adrenal issues. They were also being driven by my gut, which I admit was also giving me major grief. I now have mental clarity, & steady energy that I haven't felt in years (& am no longer looking for the closest loo!).”
