A Lyme literate naturopath with 30+ years of experience
Amina has spent more than 30 years in the health industry as a Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Nutritionist. Over that time she has focused on the chronic, complex and often dismissed cases that many practitioners find difficult to support: people living with Lyme disease, stealth viral and bacterial co-infections, parasites and mould illness.
Being a Lyme literate naturopath means she works specifically with the patterns these conditions create, and with people who have often spent years searching for answers. She has supported well over 8000 chronic cases, not only across Australia but with patients in New Zealand, Europe, the USA, Canada and Asia.
Her role is naturopathic support that sits alongside your medical team and your doctor's care, complementing conventional treatment rather than replacing it.
Her story: from England to Japan, China and the Sunshine Coast
Amina began her career by starting her own clinic in England before moving to Australia and completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) at Endeavour College (formerly the Australian College of Natural Medicine).
Her path also took her overseas in a way that still shapes how she practises today. She spent a year studying and working in Japan and a year in China, gaining a genuine insight into Japanese and Chinese health culture.
She brings that perspective together with Western medicine and modern science, which is why her approach is integrated rather than one-dimensional. She is now based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and consults online and by phone with patients around the world.
How Amina works with chronic and stealth conditions
No two cases are the same, and Amina's clinical experience reflects that. The people she sees often arrive with a long and tangled history: fatigue, brain fog, poor concentration, chronic pain, digestive sensitivities, skin issues, mould sensitivities, and the anxiety, stress and low mood that frequently come with years of being unwell and unheard.
Because every case is individual, she builds personalised herbal and nutritional formulas and an ongoing, adjustable plan rather than a fixed protocol. Her Diploma of Nutrigenomics, with gene testing available, lets her tailor that support to the person in front of her.
- Personalised herbal and nutritional formulas, reviewed and adjusted over time
- An integrated approach drawing on Western medicine, modern science and her training in Japan and China
- Nutrigenomics and gene testing to individualise support
- Online and phone consultations, so distance is not a barrier
- Naturopathic support designed to work alongside your doctor and medical care
Author, educator and award-winning practitioner
Amina is the author of "Lyme Natural: Integrated Naturopathy for Lyme disease, co-infections, and mould illness", a resource written for both patients and the practitioners who care for them.
She was named Nature and Health Practitioner of the Year, and she is an active educator in the field, having spoken at 30 international conferences and events over 5 years. A meaningful part of her work is teaching other naturopaths and doctors how to recognise and support these complex presentations.
