This experience gave Charlotte a new appreciation of health in all its forms (physical, mental, emotional) and encouraged her to pursue a career in Naturopathy. She is passionate about educating and empowering others so that they may also take charge of their own health and find health freedom. While working with a range of health concerns, her areas of expertise include gut health, digestive issues, food allergies/intolerances, and mental wellbeing.
