Still feeling foggy, fatigued or stuck, even though your blood tests say “normal”? That inconsistency can leave you feeling unseen.
I get it.
Together, we’ll look beyond the surface. I’ll help uncover patterns in your results (& suggest recommended testing if you don’t have them yet), so you walk away with answers, direction, & a clear next step.
Bringing clarity to your health journey through the 'test don't guess' approach

EVIDENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS
RECEIVE TARGETED RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON YOUR UNIQUE BIOCHEMISTRY, NOT GENERIC ADVICE.
“Normal” Doesn’t Always Mean “Optimal”
You've been told your blood tests are "normal," yet you still feel exhausted, foggy-headed, or unwell
Your GP only has time to look for disease markers, not signs of declining health
Standard ranges are designed to diagnose illness, not to achieve vibrant wellbeing
You're frustrated by the disconnect between how you feel and what your tests supposedly show
You suspect there's more to the story than what you've been told about your health markers
You want to prevent health issues before they become serious problems, not just manage them after they develop
The good news?
Your blood tests hold far more information than you've been told. When we examine your results through a Naturopathic lens, looking for optimal health rather than just ruling out disease, a clearer picture of your wellbeing emerges.
A Deeper Look Through a Naturopathic Lens
I'm Caro, a qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Medical Herbalist, and one of my favourite tools in my toolkit is pathology analysis.
While GPs must focus on identifying disease states within limited appointment times, I have the expertise and time to examine your results differently.
By analysing your standard blood tests through a naturopathic lens, I look for patterns, subtle imbalances, and early warning signs that often get overlooked in conventional medicine.
My "test don't guess" philosophy means making data-driven decisions about your health, rather than generalised approaches that might not suit your biochemistry. You are unique, and so are your needs.
When numbers speak out, our journey to better health begins
SEE BEYOND THE NUMBERS
I TRANSLATE COMPLEX LAB DATA INTO MEANINGFUL INSIGHTS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND THE STORY YOUR BLOOD TELLS ABOUT YOUR OVERALL WELLBEING.
YOUR HEALTH ROADMAP
RECEIVE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS WITH CLEAR, PRACTICAL STEPS, TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY - INCLUDING TARGETED SUPPLEMENTS OR HERBS WHERE INDICATED.
EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
IDENTIFY SUBTLE IMBALANCES BEFORE THEY DEVELOP INTO SERIOUS CONDITIONS, ALLOWING FOR GENTLER INTERVENTIONS NOW, RATHER THAN MAJOR CORRECTIONS LATER IN LIFE.
Your Journey to Understanding Your Health Data
-
Step 1: Preparation
Take my suggested pathology request form to your GP and get your bloods taken at the lab. Send your results to me a couple of days prior to our session so you can maximise our time together. Already have recent results? Perfect. Just share them ahead of our session.
Follow the preparation instructions in the document, including being rested, fasted, and having stopped any supplements 3 days prior for accurate results.
-
Step 2: Pathology Analysis Session
Join me via Zoom or visit my clinic on the Kapiti Coast for a focused 45-minute consultation where you'll discover what your results really mean for your health. Walk away with clarity about your biochemistry and a personalised Results & Recommendations Report delivered to your inbox.
Experience this as a standalone service with complete insights and actionable next steps, with practitioner-only products recommended if your results indicate specific support is needed.
-
Step 3: The Wellness Path Forward
Choose to implement your recommendations independently, or join most clients who progress to The Wellness Kickstart where you'll dive deeper into root causes with ongoing guidance and support.
Schedule follow-up bloods in 12-16 weeks to track your progress and celebrate improvements. Build upon the solid foundation your pathology analysis provides for lasting health improvements.
Track Your Progress: Pathology Analysis Comparison
SOMETIMES YOUR BLOOD KNOWS BEFORE YOUR BODY DOES
Here's the thing about healing: your biochemistry often shifts before your symptoms do.
You might still be battling that 3pm energy crash, or waiting for your sleep to feel truly restorative. But underneath the surface, your cells are responding. Iron stores are building. Inflammation is quieting. Thyroid function is recalibrating.
Just like it took time for imbalances to create symptoms (hello, iceberg analogy), it takes time for corrections to translate into how you feel. That messaging lag can be frustrating - but it's also why the Pathology Comparison is so valuable.
When you see your ferritin has climbed from 15 to 65, even though you're still tired - that's proof your body IS responding. You're on the right path. Keep going.
When your inflammatory markers have dropped significantly, even though your gut still feels off - you're heading in the right direction. Your body just needs more time to catch up.
But here's the other side: Sometimes markers don't move as we'd expect - and that's equally valuable information. If your B vitamins haven't budged despite supplementation, there may be absorption issues we need to investigate. If iron's stubbornly refusing to climb, we might be dealing with hidden inflammation, mineral imbalances, an infection or other underlying issue that needs a different approach.
THE COMPARISION REVEALS THESE PATTERNS. IT TELLS US WHEN TO STAY THE COURSE, AND WHEN TO DIG DEEPER.
WHAT MAKES THIS SO POWERFUL
Validation when you need it most
Seeing biochemical improvements can keep you motivated during the "messy middle" of healing, even when symptoms haven't caught up yet
Evidence-based decision making
No more guessing whether your protocol is working. The data tells us if we're on target or need to pivot
Celebration of wins
Whether your vitamin D has finally climbed into optimal range, your blood sugar has stabilised, or your thyroid markers are humming along beautifully, seeing those numbers shift is deeply satisfying and proof your efforts are paying off
Detective work for stubborn markers
When numbers don't shift as expected, it opens new investigative pathways (genetic variations affecting absorption, hidden inflammation, mineral interactions, or underlying conditions we haven't uncovered yet)
This is often where a deeper dive with The Wellness Kickstart becomes invaluable - we need to go beyond the surface to find what's blocking your progress
Course corrections before you waste time (and money)
If something's not working, we can adjust your approach now rather than spending months (and often money) on approaches that aren't serving your unique biochemistry
Celebration of wins
Whether your vitamin D has finally climbed into optimal range, your blood sugar has stabilised, or your thyroid markers are humming along beautifully, seeing those numbers shift is deeply satisfying and proof your efforts are paying off
Learn your body's language
Understanding how YOUR unique biochemistry responds to interventions builds body literacy that serves you for life
Side-by-side visual proof
There's something powerful about seeing those numbers change (or not change) with your own eyes. It makes the invisible visible
Recalibrated recommendations
Now we're optimising based on how YOUR body responded, making your already-personalised plan even more precisely targeted to your biochemistry
THE INVESTMENT
Initial Pathology Analysis: $199 (45 minutes)
Pathology Comparison Analysis: $250 (60 minutes
WHY THE DIFFERENCE?
The comparison session is more comprehensive - I'm analysing your current results, comparing them against your baseline, identifying trends over time, and recalibrating your recommendations based on how your unique biochemistry has responded. It's detective work that takes more time and deeper analysis, but the insights are gold.
Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about seeing those numbers move in the right direction.
When to book your comparison:
Schedule your follow-up bloods 12-16 weeks after implementing your initial recommendations. This gives your body time to respond to dietary changes, supplements, or lifestyle adjustments - and gives us meaningful data to compare.
Pro tip: Take your follow-up bloods as recommended for the first ones - fasted, rested, and stopping any supplements (but never medications) 3 days prior. This gives us the cleanest comparison possible.
Don’t take my word for it …

"I'd been to three different doctors who all said my bloodwork was fine. Caro explained how my results were actually showing early signs of thyroid issues, even though my numbers were within range. Six months later, my symptoms have improved dramatically."

"After years of being told my tests were 'normal,' I was still exhausted all the time. Caro identified several markers that were technically in range but far from optimal. Following her recommendations, I've got my energy back for the first time in years!"
Frequently Asked Questions
-
GPs are focused on diagnosing disease and have limited time per patient. I look at your results through a naturopathic lens, focusing on optimal ranges rather than just "normal" ranges, and I have time to thoroughly explain what everything means for your specific situation.
-
I can work with recent tests (within the last 3 months). However, I may recommend additional markers if your current tests don't include everything I'd like to review for a comprehensive analysis.
-
$199 for a 45-minute analysis session including your personalised Results & Recommendation Report.
-
Some health insurance policies cover Naturopathic consultations. Check with your provider about coverage for natural health practitioners.
-
Not necessarily. My recommendations always start with dietary and lifestyle adjustments. If I suggest supplements, I'll explain exactly why they're recommended based on your specific results. However they are always optional.
-
I've designed my request form to include markers that most GPs will agree to. Try having an honest conversation about wanting to improve your health and wellbeing through diet and lifestyle changes -most GPs respond positively to this approach. After all, if you're healthier, you won't be clogging up their waiting room! If you still face resistance, there are a couple of websites where you can order your own blood tests, or I can provide talking points to help explain why these markers are important.
-
The Pathology Analysis is a standalone service with no ongoing commitment. You'll receive comprehensive insights and recommendations that you can implement independently. However, many clients find this naturally leads them to The Wellness Kickstart, where they receive ongoing support and guidance to address underlying causes more thoroughly. While pathology can hint at what's going on, we generally need to dig deeper to find the root causes of the imbalances in your body.
“The first thing I noticed about Caro was her effervescent energy. Once I started talking with her it quickly became obvious that she has an innate passion to improve people’s lives via their health. An active listener, I felt heard and understood by Caro who not only answered my questions but made sure I understood what she was saying. Her use of analogies to explain some of my results worked very well for me. Though I 100% believe there is a place for doctors, I believe there is also a place for the work Caro does. Nothing has been too much effort for her. Highly recommend”.
