My name is Suzanne Sparrow. I'm a qualified Nutritionist, Naturopath and Kinesiologist.
I live on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. I'm passionate about good food, great coffee, being out in nature, and spending time with my family. I'm married with two beautiful kids (and three rescue dogs, and a rescue cat). I enjoy bush walking, bike riding, swimming, going to the gym, and soaking up the sun. And I LOVE learning - I'm a perpetual student, always enrolling in a new course, watching a webinar, listening to a podcast, or having a 1-on-1 mentoring session from one of my Naturopathic or Kinesiology colleagues.
Initially, I studied Nutritional Medicine because I wanted to know more about the impact different foods have on the mind and body. The more I learnt, the more I wanted to know about how we can OPTIMISE our health (rather than just "not get sick"). As luck would have it, as I came to the end of my Nutrition studies, I fell straight into studying Naturopathy, which taught me how powerful herbs are in achieving optimal health and wellness. I found that the two modalities combined so beautifully to enable me to work with my clients on such a deeper holistic level. And then I found Kinesiology - the modality that has pulled all of my extensive learning and experience together. Now I can ASK clients' bodies EXACTLY which nutritional and lifestyle changes they need to implement in order to improve their health and wellness, AND we can clear the underlying issues that have prevented them from achieving optimal health in the past. AMAZING!!
My areas of special interest include:
* mood disorders and mental health (eg. chronic stress, anxiety and depression, feelings of overwhelm, chronic fatigue);
* digestive health, liver detoxification and weight loss (eg. IBS-type symptoms, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, liver health, and healthy weight management); and
* female reproductive and endocrine hormones (eg. stress and anxiety levels, menstrual cycles, PMS symptoms, perimenopause and menopause, pre-conception and pregnancy care, blood sugar dysregulation, and optimising thyroid health).
Acute and chronic stress have a wide range of impacts, not just on mood and mental health, but on energy levels, sleep patterns, appetite, blood sugar regulation, hormones... the list goes on!

Acute and chronic stress have a wide range of impacts, not just on mood and mental health, but on energy levels, sleep patterns, appetite, blood sugar regulation, hormones... the list goes on! By calming the nervous system, nourishing and supporting the adrenals, and making some simple but important lifestyle modifications, your stress response can be improved dramatically, leaving you feeling more resilient and in control.
Without the right "fuel", the beneficial bacteria in our gut can't thrive, and often become reduced in numbers due to an overgrowth of pathogenic ("bad") bacteria, as a result of poor food choices, lack of sleep, chronic stress, and medication use.

Without the right "fuel", the beneficial bacteria in our gut can't thrive, and often become reduced in numbers due to an overgrowth of pathogenic ("bad") bacteria, as a result of poor food choices, lack of sleep, chronic stress, and medication use. This imbalance of good and bad bacteria can result in bloating, diarrhoea or constipation, anxiety and depression, low energy, an inability to lose weight, skin rashes and more. Creating a healthy gut environment, by implementing nutritional and lifestyle changes, and using specific nutrients, herbs and probiotic strains, can reduce such symptoms, and lead to increased energy levels, more balanced mood, improved vitality, and easier weight management.
From teenage years right through to post-menopause, girls and women can experience imbalances in reproductive hormones, resulting in irregular, heavy or painful periods, acne breakouts, menstrual migraines, fatigue, low libido and fertility issues.

From teenage years right through to post-menopause, girls and women can experience imbalances in reproductive hormones, resulting in irregular, heavy or painful periods, acne breakouts, menstrual migraines, fatigue, low libido and fertility issues. Addressing nutritional deficiencies, supporting the relevant liver detoxification pathways, supporting balanced reproductive hormones, reducing stress, and supporting the adrenals and thyroid, can see major improvements in all hormone-related areas.
