Naturopathy & Functional Case Support

Personalised care for skin, hormones, gut health, fatigue, inflammation and vitality — across all life stages

Charmaine D is a qualified Naturopath (BHSc) with 30+ years in the health and skin space. Her practice supports people from infancy to later life — including those navigating eczema, acne, fatigue, bloating, brain fog, hormonal changes, food reactions, and immune sensitivity.

She takes time to investigate the bigger picture — from childhood health and family history, to lifestyle, trauma, medications, diet and emotional stress. Using this insight, Charmaine builds a clear, practical plan that supports your body’s natural rhythm, regulation and resilience.

Her approach is suitable for:

  • Teenagers with hormonal acne or gut issues
  • Women with cycle concerns, fatigue or perimenopausal symptoms
  • Men noticing metabolic, mood or recovery changes
  • Parents with young children experiencing eczema or sensitivities
  • Anyone who’s been told “all your tests are normal” — but still feels off

Under the Skin Consultations

When nothing else makes sense — this is where we begin.

Tried everything for your skin and still not getting answers?
Your skin isn’t just about what you put on it — it’s a window into your hormones, your gut, your immune system, and your stress response.

Charmaine D brings 30+ years in the skin and health space, a deep understanding of ingredient science, and a gift for decoding what your skin is really trying to say — especially when you’ve been dismissed, over-treated, or left confused.

These one-on-one consultations are not facials. They’re not prescriptions. They’re the missing layer in your skin journey:

  • A deep dive into your story
  • Root-cause thinking (beyond what’s trending)
  • Advice from someone who formulates skincare and understands cells, not just creams

 

Perfect for you if you’ve said any of this:

  • “I’ve tried everything — nothing’s working”
  • “My skin reacts to everything now”
  • “No one’s explained WHY this is happening to me”
  • “I’m doing everything ‘right’ and still not getting better”

 

We’ll cover:

  • Gut, liver, and hormonal links to your skin
  • Histamine and inflammation insight
  • Ingredient review (topical + internal)
  • What to use, what to pause, and what to test next

 Summary: The “Under the Skin Consult” offers personaliSEd skin analysis and wellness strategies. With over 30 years as a dedicated aesthetician and expertise in naturopathy, I empower you to achieve radiant, healthy skin through holistic treatments tailored to your unique needs.

SQT Bio-Microneedling – Natural Skin Renewal Without Trauma

Reimagine skin renewal — without harsh treatments, chemicals, or trauma.

SQT Bio-Microneedling is an advanced natural treatment that uses Spongilla spicules (micro-needling sponges from freshwater) to stimulate your skin’s natural healing, rejuvenation, and collagen renewal — without needles, injections, or harsh acids.

If you’ve struggled with:

  • Post-acne scars or uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores or congestion
  • Fine lines, premature ageing, or dull skin
  • Sensitive or reactive skin that can’t tolerate chemical peels
  • Inflammation or chronic skin redness
  • Loss of firmness or healthy tone
    …SQT Bio-Microneedling offers a completely new path to renewal.

What makes SQT different?
Unlike traditional microneedling, lasers, or chemical peels, SQT stimulates natural exfoliation, collagen production, and microcirculation by using the intelligent structure of the Spongilla plant.
It gently activates the skin’s own repair system — awakening youthful, resilient, vibrant skin from within.

This treatment is ideal if you want real results without aggressive downtime or risking barrier damage.

Benefits of SQT Bio-Microneedling:

  • Promotes natural collagen and elastin production
  • Reduces pigmentation, scarring, congestion
  • Restores youthful glow and healthy skin barrier
  • Speeds up cell turnover and detoxification
  • Suitable for sensitive and inflamed skin types

Charmaine D’s Approach:
Charmaine combines her 30+ years of skin expertise, her own chemical-free Cell Defence products, and naturopathic insights into every SQT treatment protocol.
Expect not just a skin treatment — but a whole-body, inside-out focus on restoring your skin’s true health.

📍Available exclusively in-clinic in Adelaide.

✨ Find out if working with an experienced Naturopath and Skin Health Practitioner is the right next step for your health, skin, and vitality.

This is your opportunity to speak one-on-one with Charmaine D — to explore your health, skin, fatigue, gut, hormone, or mystery symptoms — and to see if her comprehensive, compassionate, and whole-person approach feels like the right fit for you.

This call is completely free, relaxed, and pressure-free.
It’s about you — your story, your needs, and whether we’re a match to work together on your journey toward health.

What Happens During Your Free Discovery Call:

We’ll explore:

  • Whether my approach — starting with your timeline and “Why You?” process — feels right for you
  • How we would uncover the deeper patterns in your skin, hormones, fatigue, digestion, or inflammation (in formal consultations)
  • the first steps would look like if we begin working together (including testing options, timeline, personalised protocols)
    Whether you feel confident and comfortable having me guide your journey

This is a relaxed, pressure-free conversation — not a consultation or treatment session.
It’s a space to ask questions, feel heard, and understand how we can work together in a way that feels supportive and clear.

Why Book a ‘Why You?’ Discovery Call?

If you are:

  • Stuck with symptoms that no one’s explained
  • Unsure if naturopathy or functional testing is your next step
  • Tired of treatments that don’t address the root cause
  • Wondering if inside-out healing could finally resolve your skin, hormones, or health issues
  • Looking for a practitioner who listens deeply and understands complex, layered cases

…then this call is for you.

Together, we will begin mapping out what your body or skin has been trying to tell you.

 

Important Note:

This free 30-minute call is not a consultation or diagnosis session.
It is a conversation to explore if we’re the right team to work together.
Formal treatment plans, protocols, and testing are developed after full initial consultations.

Testimonials

I have been seeing Charmaine for many years as a beauty therapist and during this time have learnt a lot about taking care of my skin and avoiding nasty chemicals like dimethicone which used to clog my skin. I then began seeing her as my family’s naturopath. She has not only helped me with hormone issues, but has also helped my children with tummy issues and also severe allergies. She has even helped my husband’s blood pressure recently and he was able to reduce some of his medications. I would definitely recommend Charmaine to anyone with any sort of health issues as she has certainly helped our family!


LB – Hallett Cove

Before I started seeing Charmaine D, my skin was the worst it’s ever been. Charmaine has transformed my skin health, which has boosted my self confidence. She has also helped me overhaul my at-home routine, so I’m keeping my skin naturally healthy from the inside, out. I’ve also started seeing Charmaine as a Naturopath, and my energy levels have increased.
