Karen is passionate about natural medicine and the important role  it plays in the health industry — combining the wisdom of traditional practices with scientific evidence-based understanding. At the heart of her work is a genuine commitment to making a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of her patients.

​

Known for her solution focused mindset and compassionate care, she works with patients that have complex and chronic health concerns. With particular focus on women’s health, digestive disorders, mental health, and pain management.

​

She describes the human body as an interconnected ecosystem, where physical, emotional, and environmental factors interact in dynamic ways to influence wellbeing. This systems-based understanding has led her to develop extensive knowledge across a range of health areas.

​

​She worked for and then along side of the reknown Natural Medicine GP, Dr Zenon Gruba for a decade and half before his retirement.

​

In addition to her clinical work, Karen has contributed to the field as a Lecturer and Clinical Supervisor at Endeavour College of Natural Health, supporting the next generation of practitioners in both the Nutritional and Naturopathic Medicine departments.
