have you tried everything & nothing has worked?
bloods normal? there’s nothing wrong?
at a loss at what to do next?
everyone deserves a personalised approach, not a one-size-fits-all one
nore transforms the lives of people with ongoing health issues using the power of functional nutrition & natural medicine
Many people who have seen me feel like they’re tried everything. But they haven’t had a practitioner do a thorough assessment and put a plan together to identify and resolve the underlying causes.
In my practice I:
Deal with the root cause of health problems and not just the symptoms
Identify imbalances rather than diseases
View the body as interconnected and not as separate parts
Restore lasting balance
Empower you to manage your own body
My areas of expertise include:
Gut & Digestive Health – Halitosis, Bloating, IBS, Oxalates, Constipation
Hormones and Thyroid – Menopause, Amenorrhoea, Hypo- and Hyper-Thyroidism etc
Autoimmunity – All including Coeliac Disease, Lichen Sclerosis
Skin Conditions – Acne, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea
Fasting Programs – For health and weight loss
“Your health is the science of cell health.
When the needs of your cells are not met, disease sets in.
When they’re met, healing can begin.”
“I highly recommend Nore as an exceptional nutritionist. Despite not meeting in person, Nore’s expertise, empathy, and dedication shine through during virtual consultations. She actively listens to concerns, provides tailored recommendations, and stays up to date with the latest research.
Nore’s expertise and guidance have been invaluable to my well-being.
Her holistic approach to healing, combined with her personalised treatment plans, have led to significant improvements in my overall health. She empowers me to take charge of my well-being, providing practical recommendations and supporting me on my journey to wellness, even from a distance.
With her as your nutritionist, you’ll receive top-notch care and support, even from a distance.”
“ If it wasn’t for Nore I would still be stuck in bed, able to do very little.
Since commencing my consults and thorough testing with Nore I have been able to sort out my diet to prevent further weight loss, regain considerably more strength and ability and am even able to use my ultra light wheelchair independently some of the time. This is huge for me after being basically bed-bound, including periodic paralysis, since April 2020.
I also like Nore’s very calm approach during our consults.
I would definitely recommend her for anyone, but particularly for people like me who may have reached the end of the road and are in despair.
A good nutritional therapist like Nore can definitely help. I know, because I have just self-published my first children’s picture story book, which was just an impossibly distant dream 18 months ago!”
“A year and a half ago, I had a fall at work and suffered from a Traumatic Brain Injury. For six months, I wasn’t able to work or do much. And then, instead off improving after all these months, things got even worse. The pressure in my head increased causing terrible headache and exhaustion.
Doctors didn’t recognize the symptoms of neuro- inflammation. After a year and a half and several therapies, there was only one thing left I could do to get my life back: diet and supplements.
Could it be that you are a magician, Nore? I went from having daily headaches, constant pressure in my head and needing to take migraine medicine and paracetamol every day, to having no pressure in my head and zero medication. And that in only 4 weeks.
What a GP, neurologist, company doctor and rehabilitation doctor couldn’t do, you did 😀. I’m feeling so much better. Thanks Nore!”

my story
I’m someone who experienced difficult-to-diagnose symptoms for much of my life, being described as one of the undiagnosable 5%.
Among other challenges, I developed fibromyalgia-type arthritis after living in Southeast Asia, mysterious nerve pain in my hands and feet causing muscle weakness and sleeplessness, and autoimmunity. At one time I was also told I had depression (how else to explain this?!), for years experienced twice-weekly migraines, and at various times experienced gynaecological, thyroid and hormonal problems.
Is this you too?
I understand what it’s like to endure the pain and exhaustion from overlooked, misdiagnosed, or stigmatised conditions. Before I became a nutritional therapist and natural medicine practitioner, I spent a lot of time and thousands of dollars seeking answers, trying unhelpful drugs, and having pointless medical procedures and surgeries. I also know how terrifying it is to feel emotionally not yourself.
At one point, I wondered if I was ever going to be able to work full time again because I felt so unwell and drained.
Becoming a Yoga Teacher, Health Coach, Nutritional Therapist, Psych-K Practitioner, and now a Functional Medicine Practitioner (looking at the foundational way nutrients, lifestyle and the mind affect the body at a cellular and genetic level) and lab testing training have been instinctive steps in my journey. I believe I would be much sicker, if not bedridden or worse, definitely unable to work had I not gone down this pathway. Now I see clients, help my family, go on long hikes and do much more!
I did this by seeking out the root causes of my symptoms, spending time researching and understanding chronic illness, including the impact of diet, toxins and lifestyle. This took commitment, and trial and error.
My personal pathway has included overcoming gut infections, intestinal permeability and SIBO, CIRS or mould illness (read my story here), food and environmental sensitivities, fibromyalgia pain, high oxalates, a slow thyroid, autoimmunity, ‘adrenal exhaustion’, and food sensitivities and allergies. I’m still a work in progress.
Lately I’ve been focusing more on understanding and resolving the impact that menopause is having on my body, including autoimmunity post mould and weight gain. I’m seeing significant health improvements and my weight is down 9kg with more to go.
I know first hand the fear and frustration you might be feeling about the way ongoing illness, including weight gain, can change your life. I understand the process of grief when you have to change your diet and lifestyle, conflict with your body as it changes, and what it takes to switch your mindset to one of gaining health. I get how we can stop believing in our body and our self when you feel it constantly lets you down. I too have feared for my future.
But IT IS possible to improve your health, get back to living and get your slim body back! I’d love to hear from you.

testimonials
“Nore has been an incredible help in helping me find balance in my digestion and nutrition again. After having been classified with mold illness and feeling so incredibly stuck in my treatments, Nore helped me find a path back to a regular diet and feeling healthy and normal again. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
“To my surprise, Psych-K made me feel calmer, stronger and more accepting of myself, others and my situation.”
“Friendly, professional and straight to the point. My entire experience with this service was the answer I had been looking for after so long. Great advice, very informed and always generous with time. If you are chasing after that illusive cure and are feeling like you’ll never find it, do yourself a favour and give this a shot before throwing in the towel.”
“It was a relief to learn of Nore through our mould home remediator and close friend. The fact that Nore had lived & experienced mould illness, I felt she had an empathy and understanding of what I was going through and how I was feeling. Her calm personality was helpful because I had experienced PTSD from living in two water damaged homes!
Thanks to Nore, I am now on a journey to recovery because of her expertise and health protocols. I’m looking forward to completing the three tests she suggested to me, and believe that with her help, I can once again regain optimum health.
I have already recommended Nore to family members and friends. I would recommend her because of her health knowledge and the fact that she has walked the journey, understands and has empathy!”
“I think everyone should do this. After just 3 weeks I’m not walking around, I’m leaping.”
“With Nore’s help, I’ve been able to identify the root cause of symptoms that I’ve struggled with for years. Her knowledge, experience, and care is second to none. I feel energised, don’t need as much sleep, and am empowered and inspired to continue. I’m so grateful I came across her.”
“I am a Functional Nutritionist myself and Nore has been helping me with mould/SIBO/Candida issues. She is by far the most knowledgeable person I know, and my health has improved as well as my 1 year old son’s. I am currently breastfeeding and I trust Nore so much in helping me and my son.
We are still on a healing journey and we know that it is going to take a while, and Nore has been so supportive mentally as it is a rough journey. I seriously don’t know how I would have coped without Nore. Moreover her knowledge is so broad not just limited to mould. I am so grateful and I feel very fortunate to have been able to consult with her.
I highly recommend Nore as she is smart, wise and intuitive at the same time. Much love.”
“For most of my life, I had terrible eating habits and bad body image. Often, I would be afraid to wear the things I wanted, as I didn’t like the way they looked on me. I was so disappointed with myself for allowing my weight gain to reach that stage. Sometimes, I would punish my body by eating nothing at all, in a bid to lose weight.
Over the years, I tried just about every diet imaginable, though was unable to sustain any of these in the long-term. When I got engaged, like most women, I wanted to make sure my body looked great for the big day. I felt sad that I had mistreated my body for so long, and made myself a promise to start treating it right by eating healthy.
Everything changed when I met the amazing Nore. She had changed the way I think about my body, and helped me to maintain clean eating habits that are natural and right for my body. By giving my lifestyle a total overhaul, I no longer have to “diet”, but have still achieved incredible weight loss results. Best of all, I feel as good on the inside as I do on the outside. I never thought I would feel so confident about my body! Nore, I cannot thank you enough!”
“Nore has been a great help in taking my health to the next level. I have more energy, I have lost weight, improved my thyroid, which doctors kept saying was fine even though I was tired all the time, losing my hair and couldn’t lose weight. For the first time in a long time I am looking forward to summer as I feel more energetic and can’t wait to go do the things I love.”
“Nore is incredible. She is kind, insightful and brings a wealth of experience in holistic healthcare. My daughter suffered fairly severe eczema and we are now at a point of being 99% eczema free. Would highly recommend for any health concerns.”
“ I had a range of small health issues that were really beginning to affect my lifestyle, but medical solutions didn’t help. Nore helped me get rid of them all. Who would have thought that by healing my gut, fine tuning my diet and taking supplements along the way, I’d feel 25 again! I reckon if I’d done this earlier I’d have been more powerful, stronger and focussed in my life. ”
“Nore came recommended to me as I was looking to bring my life, and weight, back into order after too many years in corporate life and also a life changing event.
I was very appreciative of the cool, controlled manner in which Nore handled our first exploratory interview. Her knowledge of what makes our systems work, and how indicators can best be used to prescribe a healthier way to eat was impressive. I was enthused and enjoyed the challenge, especially the fact that one was not left starving, which had occurred to me previously when looking to drop a few kilograms.
What I have also come to realise is that the mind needs to be in the right place and the ‘want’ needs to be there as well as the initial kilos coming off.
But then I enjoyed 3 weeks of business travel where I slipped into poor habits. What was interesting was that I immediately felt bloated and unhealthy but this time I knew what I needed to eat to feel good again.
I have also appreciated the touch-base sessions with Nore to reinforce learning or give additional information that can help the journey.
Would I recommend Nore? Definitely. But remember, you need to be ready and motivated to get the full value that Nore can offer.”
