Gut Skin Clinic
Microbiome Testing & Functional Gut Health | Lower North Shore Sydney
Most people don’t have “a skin issue” or “a gut problem” they have a body that is screaming to be listened to more carefully.
At Gut Skin Clinic, I work with the Gut–Skin–Immune–Nervous System axis to support balance and regulation across your whole body.
Microbiome informed Gut Skin and whole body health.
After seeing countless patients struggle with conditions not improving under standard care, 2026 will see the launch of my purpose‑built clinic offering a highly considered, one‑on‑one model of care.
Offering more than 40 years of clinical expertise integrating Functional and Nutritional Medicine, NATA‑accredited microbiome testing, decades of Metabolic and Liver health experience, and international training in Skin and Hair Restoration into a single evidence‑based, integrated destination.

Your Gut Microbiome Influences More Than Digestion
Research shows the gut microbiome plays a role in:
Immune regulation
Inflammatory skin conditions
Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
Hormone balance
Mood and cognitive function
Healthy weight management
When microbial balance shifts (dysbiosis) we may see symptoms such as:
Persistent bloating or IBS
Rosacea, acne, eczema
Food sensitivities
Autoimmune flares
Weight resistance despite a healthy diet
Anxiety Insomnia and mood disorders
Microbiome testing allows us to explore patterns that standard blood tests may miss.
Microbiome testing in Neutral Bay – evidence-informed, clinically guided Microbiome testing
Not all microbiome tests are equal. I use clinically validated stool microbiome NATA accredited analysis through MICROBA laboratories. Testing may assess:
Bacterial diversity and balance
precedence of pathogens parasites and fungi
integrity of your gut wall lining and vulnerability
Inflammatory markers
Short chain fatty acid production
Digestive markers
Functional microbial patterns and unhealthy metabolites
Microbiome science is evolving. Results are interpreted cautiously, deeply, and used as one piece of a broader functional assessment.

Why Work With Me ?
Experienced Functional Practitioner | Lower North Shore Sydney
With over 40 years in healthcare, I integrate:
Registered Nursing advanced practice in Intensive care, Emergency Gastroenterology and Metabolic health
Functional Nutritional and Infusion Medicine post graduate qualification.
Microbiome interpretation training as a preferred national practitioner for Microba labs.
Clinical experience and International training in gut-skin-immune health
Microbiome tests in Australia are increasingly popular and a relatively new science requiring a health professional to request and review.
I recommend asking your practitioner how many genomic results they have reviewed and work with an experienced practitioner to interpret.
Raw microbiome data can be very complex to interpret and give relevance to the individual’s clinical presentation. Testing is used as an adjunct assessment tool and is interpreted within the context of clinical history.
It is not a diagnostic test for disease. All recommendations are individualised and evidence-informed.
Gut Skin Clinic Microbiome testing in Neutral Bay Cremorne and Mosman is intended for adults 18 years or older.
Skin consultation and treatments are suitable from 16 years and older.
Over the last two decades we’ve seen an unprecedented rise in chronic disease.
What many don’t realize is that this rise mirrors the collapse of the human microbiome.
Your microbiome is the vast ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live on your body. It’s essential for your immune system, gut lining, neurotransmitter production, and your ability to adapt to stress.
A balanced microbiome is like fertile soil–alive with countless species working in harmony. Modern life depletes that richness, leaving the terrain eroded and less capable of renewal.
We’re living in an environment of daily assault. Chlorinated water, processed foods, synthetic preservatives, antibiotic residues, over-sanitization, and pesticide-laced soil–each of these chips away at microbial diversity and health. Not dramatically, but quietly, every day.
What’s left is a body that no longer recognizes itself. An immune system on high alert. A gut wall that’s compromised. A brain that struggles to focus, rest, or regulate emotion.
We call it dysfunction.
But really, it’s bodily disorientation.
My aim is to support your system on every level: the barrier, the microbiome, and the immune response that ties it all together.
Gut Health is not approached as a trend- but as a measurable biological system influenced by diet, lifestyle, stress physiology, sleep, metabolic health and microbial balance.
If you’re unsure about Functional Medicine, consider my approach as an opportunity to explore health care that goes beyond symptom management. My practice is built on a foundation of listening, multi- disciplinary experience, compassion and personalised care. I offer a partnership in your overall health journey and a deep dive into your organ function providing education and support every step of the way.
