NATUROPATHY
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
Client Story: From Chronic Anxiety to Calm Living
“Working with Charmaine taught me that my anxiety wasn’t just ‘who I was’ — it was a gut-based, histamine-driven pattern we could actually treat. Within 24 hours of starting her protocol, I felt the shift. I’ve never felt calmer or more in control.”

Naturopathy & Functional Case Support
Charmaine’s naturopathic approach is designed to investigate the ‘why’ behind symptoms that don’t seem to have a single answer. This includes long-standing patterns that haven’t responded to standard protocols, symptoms that shift without explanation, and complex or layered presentations like:
- Hormonal symptoms that change monthly or worsen with stress
- Histamine overload — rashes, skin flares, anxiety, or sinus issues
- Post-pill symptoms or fertility cycle disruption
- Fatigue that isn’t fixed by rest or nutrition
- Skin conditions that resist topical care
- Digestive dysfunction including SIBO, bloating or food sensitivities
- Andropause-related shifts in men (libido, muscle, energy)
- Autoimmune presentations that fluctuate
This is not a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a collaborative process designed to reconnect the pieces of your health story and create a strategy that matches your life.
