About
Hello, I’m Marianne
Clinical naturopath, Christian counsellor and tutor, based in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
My story
Before I became a naturopath, I spent decades in education. Teaching children, and walking alongside their families, taught me to notice the small things, to listen patiently and to explain clearly. I still love the moment when something makes sense.
Naturopathy grew out of that same care for the whole person. I studied a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy), and today I support women with fatigue, gut health and preconception care, and families with everyday wellbeing, including neurodivergent families.
My practice is evidence-informed: I bring together current research and traditional knowledge, and I always work alongside your GP and specialists, never instead of them. You’ll leave each consultation with a written plan and an understanding of why each step is there.
Faith is at the heart of who I am. I don’t bring it into a naturopathy consultation unless you’d like me to, but it shapes how I care for people: with patience, respect and hope. For those who would like it, I also offer Christian counselling.

A house is a place where you are welcomed in. Each word in the name holds part of my work.
Grace
Because none of us has to earn care. You’re welcome here as you are.
Learning
Because understanding brings confidence, for children and for grown-ups too.
