Keep me in the loop

As a practitioner, I highly value naturopathic care during preconception, but while I understood the basics of preparing for a healthy pregnancy, I sought Gina's expertise when my partner and I were hoping to conceive. Gina's phenomenal experience made decision making around the direction of our treatment plan much clearer, as she was able to pinpoint specifics of my case history and prioritise accordingly. Gina's support certainly optimised my health for conception, pregnancy and ultimately the arrival of our gorgeous little boy.

- Karla Rawles, Naturopath

Josephine's deep knowledge and clinical insights have hugely transformed and inspired the way I practice as a naturopath. I am so grateful for her evidence-based and clinically appropriate advice, support and care. If you are looking to take that next step in your fertility education, Josephine is the mentor, clinician and educator that we have all been waiting for. I know the upcoming preconception course is going to take my practice to the next level and I can't wait to sign up!

- Freya Lawler, Naturopath

Having had the unique privilege of absorbing Sage's preconception expertise as both a peer and as a patient, trust me when I say there are few who know preconception inside and out the way she does! Her approach to preconception planning is always incredibly thorough and detailed, yet never compromises on individualised assessment or the holistic understanding of each patient's case history. As a patient of Sage's, I felt confident that I was in the safest of hands throughout my preconception period, and as a fellow practitioner, knowing I have access to Sage's wisdom through her education offerings, I feel confident supporting my own patients through this crucial preparation time.
