Introducing Peta Harpas

Meet Our New Practitioner!

"As a Functional Nutritionist, my passion for natural health was shaped by my upbringing and personal experiences. During my teens I lost my menstrual cycle due to overstressing my body and undereating. Despite being offered birth control numerous times to 'regulate' my period, I chose to heal naturally, discovering the power of proper nutrition and self-care. This journey ignited my deep interest in gut health, hormones, and skin.

My approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms. It aims to address the root cause(s) of health issues, promote vitality and improve overall quality of life. By using bioindividual nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, functional testing and blood pathology, I formulate targeted and realistic plans tailored to address your unique health concerns.  I firmly believe that food is medicine, and my goal is to empower my clients to take control of their health and thrive. Using food as medicine, along with other techniques can be so powerful to restore balance in the body.

I'm constantly learning and expanding my knowledge to provide clients with the most effective strategies for achieving lasting health. Gut health is where everything begins. Through balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, we can unlock your full potential so you can enjoy a vibrant life free of unwanted symptoms."

Personalised Treatment Plans

Even though we are all human, we are biologically and genetically different. What works for one person won’t work for another. We all have different requirements and lifestyles. Therefore it is vital to develop a personalised and professional treatment plan to cater for YOUR specific needs.

Meet Jacquie - Founder & Director

Your Qualified Nutritionist

There is no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to nutrition. The way I practice is not shaped around following any particular eating style or diet. It is important to work with a professional to discover what works for YOU and YOUR body.

I use a science-based approach to holistic health and I am highly trained to understand pathology results, so I can get you to optimal levels not just ‘within range’.

I work by helping you get to the root cause of your health issues to give you long term results, not a band-aid approach.

Areas of Expertise

Specialties

  • Hormone Health

    Are you constantly being told that the only option for your hormonal issues is the oral contraceptive pill, or other hormonal contraceptives? We are here to tell you that there are other options out there that do not involve a band-aid approach.

  • Digestive Health

    Have you been diagnosed with IBS? How is your digestive system functioning? Do you experience discomfort such as abdominal pains, cramping, bloating, burping, or regular nausea? Are your bowel movements regular without the aid of coffee, or do you find them unpredictable? If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, with the right testing and support, it is possible to be symptom-free.

Comprehensive Testing Methods

Unlocking Your Health Potential through Advanced Diagnostic Tests

One of my greatest mantras has become “test, don’t guess”. I am highly trained in blood pathology testing and offer a wide range of functional tests including:

  • Complete microbiome mapping using either the GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) or the GI360 
  • Vaginal microbiome profile testing
  • OMX ™ Organic Metabolomics test
  • GIT Breath test (SIBO)

Online consultations are available via Zoom.
