  • “Jennie deserves every one of these stars! Jennie cared for my daughter who was recovering from a medical condition that is still not well understood. Whilst Jennie had not treated this condition before we were impressed by her wholistic, empathic and professional approach. Her interest in and care for her clients is genuine and her knowledge is broad. Jennie was warm and approachable with my daughter and supportive of us as a family.”

    Annah W., Melbourne

  • “Jennie helped me through a time where I was struggling with a diagnosis of coeliac disease after feeling sick for what feels like my 28 years of life. She was so helpful in aiding me in understanding what was happening to my body, what it would take to begin the journey in healing my gut and what the journey would look like here on out. Its been over 6 months now and I am feeling much better than I was, I have more energy, my skin is so much better, and I have even put on a healthy amount of weight after always being underweight! She is always kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jennie.”

    Ash C., Sydney

  • “Jennie at The Gut Naturopath (previously Forage Health), has helped me with a range of complaints. Through the use of herbal medicine, supplements and minor adjustments to my diet, Jennie has me back on track to feeling ‘well’ again. Her assessment and advice has been spot on, and her service has been second to none. I have noticed increased energy levels, reduction in bloating, significant improvement in my menstrual cycle (including a major reduction in cramps and pain), and have started to lose weight that I haven’t been able to shift for the last 3 years. Prior to seeing Jennie I had seen multiple doctors and had multiple ultrasounds and CT scans to try and figure out what was going on, all with no avail. Two months in to my journey and Jennie had me feeling better than I had in years. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, like I have, give Jennie a call and start your journey to wellness!”
