How naturopathy can make a difference to your health and fitness
- body composition analysis
- massage
- lose weight naturally
- get your energy back
My message to my clients is that naturopathy is the practice of preventing, assessing and treating conditions of the human mind and body. It integrates conventional health science with natural and traditional medicine.
Why should you see a naturopath? Your nutritional status is crucial to allow your body to heal and repair if it’s out of balance. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies appear in most clients. This can lead to chronic illness in the long term, as well as short term minor illnesses like fatigue, insomnia and hormonal imbalances. This is why everyone needs to see a naturopath, even if you are well.
As your naturopath, I treat the underlying issues, not just the symptoms. I look at the whole body system using a holistic approach.
Almost all clients I see, have a deficiency in zinc. People tell me they eat a balanced diet, so how could this be? Zinc is low in Australian soils, so foods will also be low in zinc. This shows you can’t always get everything you need through food. I test your zinc levels by using the zinc taste test and ask questions to determine your status. Although some may think eating zinc rich foods will correct this, zinc deficiency can only be treated using the correct co-factor nutrient formulation. This is given in a liquid form for efficient absorption.
As a naturopath, my duty is not only to treat chronic health problems, but to inform clients that what you do every day leads to long term health. I like to think of your health as a piggy bank: the more deposits you put in, the better the balance will be.
As a naturopath with an Advanced Diploma of Health Science in Naturopathy, I have experience and success treating many illnesses with natural therapies since 2004. I specialise in thyroid function, hormonal issues relating to weight gain and autoimmune diseases.
All my prescriptions are backed with scientific, evidence-based research and products are proven to be effective by this research.
Make a Difference health and fitness is registered and insured. I am a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and regularly attend professional development, so I am up to date with the latest research and methods in naturopathy and natural therapies.
The most satisfying part is hearing my clients tell me how good they feel now, compared to before. Most clients have improved energy and other noticeable health improvements. Many clients say that they did not realise how much healthier they could feel, when they thought they were healthy to start with.

What our clients have to say
Maria has offered me her healing hands for past childhood gymnastic injuries and a fall from young adulthood. I felt comfortable, cared for and safe on her massage table. Maria really listens and takes her cues from you. I found Maria’s treatment helpful in lessening the nerve pain I have had for years. She has helped me be able to take on another yoga class. Thank you Maria, for being there for me!
Maria at Make a Difference Health and Fitness has played a huge role in my health and fitness. I never would have visited a naturopath, had a body composition analysis or discussed nutrition but Maria has been there to help me and provide solutions.
I highly recommend Maria as a naturopathic practitioner to anyone who has an interest in the health and wellbeing of their body. Taking the supplements she recommended and making the small changes to my diet, I felt a change within days and generally felt much better, with more energy at the end of the day. Maria is realistic, compassionate, honest and very easy to chat to. She works with you in a re-assuring and genuine way and guides and supports you rather than just telling you what to do.. Her treatments have made a massive difference to my health and overall wellness.
