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

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.
Free Discovery Call (“Why You?”)
A no-pressure, 30-minute phone call to explore your health, hormones, or skin concerns — and see if I’m the right practitioner for you.
What’s different about the ‘Why You?’ call is simple: it’s not a sales pitch. It’s a real conversation — where I listen, ask the right questions, and begin to map the timeline of what’s happened in your body or skin… and why.
This call is for you if you’re feeling:
- Stuck with symptoms that no one’s explained
- Uncertain if naturopathy or functional testing is your next step
- Frustrated by past treatments that haven’t worked
- Curious if internal and external work could help your skin or hormones
- Wanting to talk to a real human who gets complex cases and listens deeply
We’ll discuss how I work, what the first steps look like in my consultations (including testing, protocols, and timeline planning), and whether my approach feels like a good fit for you.
This is not a formal consultation — it’s a discovery call. I won’t diagnose or provide treatment, but I will explain how I would work with you if you choose to move forward.
It’s completely free. No pressure. Just 30 minutes to focus on you — with someone who sees the bigger picture.

You might be wondering — why does Charmaine D offer a free discovery call? Because so many of the people I work with have already seen multiple practitioners. They’ve had test after test. They’ve tried quick fixes or beauty facials or strict diets —and they still don’t feel like anyone has truly seen their story.
The “Why You?” call is about exactly that — your story. It’s a time to ask questions, feel heard, and most importantly, see if my way of working feels right to you. In this blog, I walk through:
- What happens in the discovery call (and what doesn’t)
- How we build a timeline of your health story
- Why I believe everyone deserves to understand their “Why” before they jump into treatment
- What kind of person benefits most from this style of consult
Whether you’re dealing with acne, fatigue, anxiety, autoimmune issues, or mystery inflammation — this is your first step to making sense of it all. Read more about this blog
