Who am I.

HI my name is Jad, Naturopath, Counsellor, Mindfulness teacher and floor manager at Prahran Health Foods. I know what it's like to suffer from reflux, gut problems, IBS and restrictive diets. I have also suffered my fair share of anxiety and depression over the years. My own personal health issues have motivated me to study and explore the best way to help others to recover from these conditions. I believe a multimodality approach is needed to treat the person as a whole. This lead to me becoming qualified in Naturopathy, Counselling and Mindfulness training. I help people achieve better gut health with less restrictive diets, more energy and vitality, and a sense of calm, meaning and purpose in their lives.

What can I help you with.

• Anxiety and depression

• Gut Health: IBS, food intolerances, reflux, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation

• Optimising specific diets: Vegetarian and Vegan diets, Low FODMAP diet, Keto diets, Paleo diet.

• Counselling for: stress, changes in life, grief, goals and purpose, self criticism and perfectionism

• Mindfulness: to develop greater concentration, peace and inner calm, self compassion and kindness.

How can I help you.

I work in a holistic, and collaborative way with my clients to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. I believe that health is not just about the physical, our mental wellbeing is essential to consider as well. I use a variety of treatments both naturopathic and psychotherapeutic including:
