My name is Meg and I am a Naturopath, Clinical Midwife Specialist and Antenatal educator with over 12 years of experience.  

After graduating with a Bachelor of Health Science from SSNT and completing further studies in Natural Fertility Education, I opened Artemisia Natural Therapies; a holistic women’s health clinic where I work with a team of complementary health professionals who are all passionate about women’s health.  

I chose ‘Artemisia’ as the name of my business in reference to the Greek goddess ‘Artemis’, a Midwife and Herbalist, associated with fertility, childbirth and nature.  ‘Artemisia’ is also a family of aromatic herbs (including Wormwood, Mugwort and Sage), several of which are used as herbal medicines.

Shortly after graduating as a Naturopath I went on to complete a Bachelor of Midwifery to further my knowledge and develop my passion for women’s health.  More recently, I completed a Postgraduate degree in Midwifery and have become a Clinical Midwife Specialist.

As a midwife I love the relationships I build with women during one of the most significant times of their lives and am privileged to have the opportunity to care for a families’ emotional and physical needs during their special time.

I work in all areas of the hospital; teaching childbirth education and breastfeeding classes, caring for women during pregnancy, labour and birth, supporting new mothers with breastfeeding and parent-craft and as a domiciliary nurse, visiting women and their families at home after they leave hospital. Being present at some of the most significant times in a couple’s life means that I can support women on their journey by promoting pregnancy and birth as a normal physiological process, educating and empowering women to make the right decisions for themselves and their babies.

As a Naturopath I like to keep up with the current research.  I have a special interest in women’s healthcare and a passion to help women achieve good health.  

I believe that we all have the ability to lead a balanced, healthy life when we are equipped with the knowledge of how to eat healthily and manage our stress levels.  I have seen how quality nutritional supplements, fertility charting and herbal medicines have helped my clients in falling pregnant, sleep better, feel happier and less stressed, enjoy their pregnancies and experience the birth they dreamed of.  I would love to share this knowledge and make these experiences possible for everyone. My aim is to support you on your journey towards wellbeing and to help you feel healthier and more confident in managing your fertility and health goals.

I love helping and working with people who:

  • want to lead a healthier, more balanced life and are seeking information on how to achieve this with dietary advice and stress management techniques
  • are overwhelmed by the amount of nutritional products available at chemists and supermarkets and finding it difficult to work out which product is best for them
  • are experiencing hormonal problems such as PCOS, PMS, Endometriosis, period pain, Menopause and irregular periods
  • would like to have a baby but have a few health issues that they need to address first
  • are pregnant and struggling with morning sickness, constipation, fatigue, low iron, reflux, thrush or restless legs
  • have just had a baby and are needing a little support to recover physically and nutritionally

I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your health concerns.
