Nicola Danicic, Naturopath BHSc

Health and wellness was something that’s always come naturally to me. 

Growing up I was always looking for ways I could support my wellbeing. 

I originally did a Bachelor of Business at QUT however with about 12 months to go, I found I was much more excited about the healing potential of herbal and nutritional medicine. I’ve experienced first-hand how Naturopathic health care can improve our quality of life and I wanted to be part of the industry to help others struggling with their health. 

Once completing my business degree I decided to follow my passion and enrolled at Endeavour College of Natural Health and I’ve never looked back! 

The more I learned the more I wanted to continue learning and helping others. I enjoy educating my patients along the way so that they have the tools to support their ongoing wellbeing for the future. 

As a naturopath, I focus on restoring imbalances within the body with nutritional medicines and use the magic of herbal medicines to help enhance the healing process, reduce symptoms and restore function within the body. 

I am passionate about supporting patients with digestive and hormonal imbalances, improving resilience to stress and anxiety, and recovering from chronic post-viral illnesses and fatigue.

The ultimate goal for me is to support your health and wellbeing by encouraging optimal function and improving overall quality of life.

In other words, “I want you to feel better!”

Karen Pyke, Clinical Nutritionist (Founder), Metabolic Balance Practitioner

I have been blessed to be able to work in an industry that I love, Health & Wellness, for over a decade. At first, I focused on the body as a registered Personal Trainer and owner of (at the time) Australia’s largest female only outdoor group fitness company (Booty Camp).

I then became increasingly passionate about food and its medicinal power. So, I studied and earnt a degree (BHSc) in Nutrition and Dietetic medicine and I am now proud to be a practicing Clinical Nutritionist. As a Clinical Nutritionist, I focus on what we eat and how this has an impact on our health and wellness.

It is true that you are what you eat!

Diets, especially fad diets, lack so many essential nutrients required to maintain health. Yet, nutrients are essential for our bodies to function at optimal capacity. Have you ever considered how nutrients are digested, absorbed and utilised within our body? I do this every day, along with how our dietary and lifestyle choices may affect our wellbeing.

Working with clients one-on-one allows me to assess and understand individual nutrition requirements. Consultations comprise of a holistic review of your health, dietary intake and lifestyle choices to develop a plan to provide health goals, dietary and lifestyle ‘tweaks’ along with prescribing supplements (if required) to optimise health and wellness.

I support clients in areas such as optimal sports nutrition, digestive complaints, allergies, fatigue, headaches, weight loss to name a few. However, my area of passion and focus is stress and anxiety which is so prevalent today in all ages. By considering factors such as your environment, lifestyle, mind, physical and diet we will achieve a calmer stress-free lifestyle.
