Portia is a degree-qualified Naturopath with a deep passion for helping women understand, heal and transform their skin from the inside out. Her work is inspired by her own personal experience with acne, which sparked a lifelong commitment to uncovering why breakouts happen and how to truly support the body back into balance.

With a strong focus on evidence-based naturopathic care, Portia combines a scientific understanding with a deeply personalised approach. She looks beyond the surface to identify the internal drivers behind breakouts - from hormones and gut health to stress, inflammation, immune imbalances and nutrient deficiencies.

Portia works hand in hand with our skin therapists to elevate clients’ treatment outcomes. While our topical care focuses on correcting and calming the skin externally, Portia ensures the internal environment is equally supported. During consultations, she:

• Takes a detailed case history to map a client’s full “skin story.”

• Reviews pathology and functional testing to identify underlying imbalances.

• Creates tailored treatment plans centred around nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle shifts and herbal medicine (when appropriate).

• Educates clients on how their body works, empowering them with lifelong tools for clear, confident skin.

Originally from Ballarat and now based in Byron Bay, Portia offers consultations via Zoom, bringing holistic skin care within reach no matter where you are. Her approach is truly holistic, guiding clients to feel supported, understood and inspired throughout their healing journey.

Whether someone is navigating hormonal acne, post-pill breakouts, perioral dermatitis, gut-driven congestion, or long-term inflammation, Portia bridges the gap between our skin treatments and true internal healing.
