Skin Matters
DERMAL CLINICIAN
What’s on the outside matters too because it can reflect or affect what’s on the inside. We address skin issues clinically and holistically; we help find the treatment that works for you and we consider how lifestyle factors might be impacting your skin. A bespoke care and treatment plan will be created to have you feeling confident in your own skin.
Sun damage • acne • rosacea • pigmentation • ageing skin • coming off the pill • eczema

Kids Matters
GIRLS AND BOYS UNDER 18 YEARS
Little matters, big impact. One day, they’ll be bolting out that front door for good, ditching routine check-ups for restaurant bookings. But until then, you’re *mostly* in charge so get them started on the right foot with proper growth and development tracking and positive habits. We offer similar services for kids as we do adults (with jabs excluded).
Growth and development • eating disorders • allergy management • psychology • physiotherapy • dermatology

TRANSGENDER & NON-BINARY HEALTH

We uphold a gender-affirming environment; come as all you are and don’t doubt for a second that you’ll receive the most suitable and attentive care. We practise in accordance with the informed consent model too; it’s your life, your gender, your body, your choice.
General health • hormonal heath • mental health • sexual health • fertility and reproductive health
What Matters To Us
When it comes to women’s health, there is no one-size-fits-all (despite what society leads us to believe). We know every woman is unique, with individual needs that change with the cycles, seasons and years. With a range of specialists under the one roof, we work collaboratively to treat you as a whole, embracing all your wonderful complexities and providing the care you need throughout your entire healthcare journey.
The Core Of The Matter — Our People
-
Currently on maternity leave
Masters of Nutrition and Dietetics, Graduate Diploma Nutritional Science, Undergraduate in Science (Psychology), Member of Dietitians Australia and an Eating Disorders Credentialed Dietitian
Special interests: Perinatal nutrition, eating disorders and disordered eating, Health At Every Size (HAES) and intuitive eating.
As someone who struggled with an eating disorder in my late-teens, I know firsthand the important role health professionals play in recovery. It’s why I became a dietitian; to help women re-establish a balanced relationship with food, an appreciation for their bodies and an understanding on how to fuel and nourish them.
In my work as a dietitian, I’ve seen how a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare can improve patient outcomes, while creating a fulfilling, synergistic environment for health professionals too — and so I founded Her Matters!
Outside of work, I love playing with my daughter Billie and Bernadoodle Charlie, listening to music (which is why you’ll always hear the best tunes in the clinic) and rolling energy balls for my other business, GH Nutrition.
-
Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Hons), Member of Dietitians Australia and an Eating Disorders Credentialed Dietitian
Special interests: eating disorders and disordered eating, Health At Every Size (HAES), intuitive eating and gut health e.g. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
I have been a support and carer for those close to me experiencing eating disorders, which has sparked a passion in me to help others with recovery. I frequently present to Australian and international health professionals and audiences on the area of FODMAPs, IBS and gut health.
Even beyond the clinical setting, I’m passionate about food, particularly sustainable food systems. I’m an avid home cook and collector of second-hand interior styling pieces; I love combining everything to host dinner parties that are full of laughs, good food and good music!
-
BPsychSci (NSW), BPsychSci (UC), BSciPsy (Hons), MAPS
Special interests: I have a passion for working with women, parents, individuals with ADHD, as well as military personnel and their families. I am interested in working with individuals through transitional life stages, including relationship and role changes, grief and loss, menopause and pregnancy.
My interest in psychology started with my experiences "growing up army" but grew as I recognised the complex tapestry that underlies an individual's goals, health and development. I take a client-centric approach, focusing on helping individuals to participate and work with their unique experiences. Together with clients, I primarily work from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema frameworks.
Outside of work, I am always onto my next project. With the unwavering support of my partner, Adam, and puppy, Goose, you'll find me building bookshelves, renovating some part of the house or crocheting gifts. I love finding a new board game or podcast and am a pilates and bouldering nerd.
-
Master of Nutrition and Dietetics, Bachelor of Human Nutrition, Member of Dietitians Australia and an Eating Disorders Credentialed Dietitian
Special interests: Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), selective eating, eating disorders and prioritising eating behaviours that are intuitive and health promoting, irrespective of body size.
I grew up as a cautious eater and so I am personally familiar with the stresses of selective eating and sensory feeding issues. I use a collaborative approach with both children and adults to help them expand food variety and ensure they are getting all the essential nutrients needed for good health.
I’m also dedicated to helping individuals develop strategies to manage anxiety around mealtimes, to feel comfortable trying new foods and to feel confident when navigating social situations involving food.

Dermal Clinician
BHSc. (Dermal Therapies)., Dip.BTSpecial interests: Holistic solutions for sun damage, ageing, rosacea, acne and eczema.
Over the past 15 plus years I have seen how taking a multi modal approach really does deliver the best and most long lasting results. I love encompassing skincare, lifestyle changes and gentle laser and light options to see you hit your skin health goals.
As someone who suffered from acne as a teenager I understand the vulnerability and feelings of overwhelm when trying to find an option to help with your skin troubles so I am committed to having you feel supported and guided as we navigate the best option for you.
Outside of work I love being with my three children and husband Jack, cooking and sharing food and spending time outside in nature. I also really enjoy reading, listening to podcasts about longevity and drinking endless pots of tea in the morning sun.

WAITLIST CLOSED
Clinical Psychologist Registrar
B. Psych (Honours)
Special interests: l am passionate about mental health and working holistically with people to achieve their mental health goals. I am interested in supporting clients through life transitions, stress management, mood difficulties and have a particular interest in eating, weight and body image concerns.
My interest in eating disorders began during high school where I witnessed people experiencing negative attitudes towards eating and their weight. I endeavour to use a warm, client centred and strengths-based approach to support clients in their eating disorder recovery and mental health journey. My interest in eating disorders also extends to my clinical psychology PhD which focuses on disordered eating oriented towards achieving a muscular and lean physique.
Outside of work and study, I love heading to the coast to swim, snorkel and more recently surf. I thoroughly enjoy exploring new places (and often find myself at a new beach), spending time with family as well as long walks listening to podcasts and audiobooks.
-
Joining the Her Matters team after a 25 year career in midwifery has been an absolute pleasure! I am passionate about the health of women and families and being able to support a practice that shares the same passion is a real privilege.
Life is busy away from work with my three gorgeous kids, their equally gorgeous partners and three fur kids. I have a great network of friends and family and love to share good meals and good times with them. I love the beach and the ski fields, travel, reading and a husband who has recently retired and doesn’t mind me leaving an extensive to-do list!
I’m looking forward to seeing Her Matters grow and develop in the coming years, providing such important services to our community.
Your Health Matters!

Question Time?
-
Nada, zilch, zip! As part of our quest to make women’s health more accessible, you don’t need that official-looking slip of paper with your doctor’s scrawl on it.
But if you DO have one from your GP or specialist, please send it to hello@hermatters.com.au before your appointment.
-
We’ve entrusted this little table to make our fee and appointment structure clear for you. Our longer appointment times allows us to go all D&M on your matters so we can provide the most comprehensive and excellent service — ever.
But don't stress — we’re busy women too. We’ve got no time for tardiness. We run a tight ship so you can get back to your day feeling confident that your matters are being looked after.
One more thing before we get to the numbers — we aren’t part of the bulk billing brigade here but we do accept most health funds.
What matters to you?
How long we have together (yay!)
-
We get it — it’s raining cats and dogs, you’re WFH and the last thing you want to do is trudge on over to Her Matters to see us.
We do need some notice, though, to emotionally prepare for your rejection. 24 hours should do the trick so please make sure you give us that! Plus, it helps us open up your appointment slot to make women’s health accessible to others.
If you miss or cancel your appointment within this 24-hour period, your full consultation fee will be charged because we’ll need the pennies to buy some pick-me-up treats.
Got a Monday appointment? Please let us know that you won’t make it by Friday 3pm before you lose us to Happy Hour!
-
Yes! Even if you're feeling under the weather (or can’t be bothered to face the weather), we want you to have the chance to keep your appointment. Plus, remember that as of November 2020, the Powers That Be approved permanent access to medicare rebates for telehealth services!

Boogie on down to Bougainville Street, Griffith where there is both paid and disabled street parking. Get there early and have a coffee at Urban Pantry or Typica or check out the cute doggies at Wooof Grooming.
