    • Natural fertility and preconception care.

    • Pregnancy support (nutrition, supplements, trimester-specific guidance).

    • Postpartum recovery and breastfeeding support.

    • Hormone balance and emotional wellbeing after birth.

    • Gentle support for common childhood concerns (sleep, immunity, intolerances, eczema).

    • Family health and nutritional foundations.

  • Jess takes a gentle, tailored approach to testing—especially when working with women in fertility, pregnancy and postpartum seasons. Her recommendations are always aligned with your capacity and stage of life.

    She may recommend:

    • Hormone panels – To assess ovulation, cycle health and fertility readiness.

    • Thyroid panels – Especially in the context of preconception, postpartum thyroiditis or postpartum fatigue.

    • Salivary cortisol – For stress and sleep support, particularly after birth.

    • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis – To check nutrient status for children.

    • DNA testing – If relevant for fertility planning or recovery.

    • Pathology interpretation – Jess often works alongside GP-ordered blood work.

    Jess also helps interpret test results and translate them into practical, everyday strategies for nourishment and recovery.

  • Jess offers online consultations on Monday and Tuesday evenings, supporting clients across Australia from her home on the Sunshine Coast.
