Meet EMILY
Welcome. I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m Em – a qualified Naturopath and Herbalist with Corneotherapy and Integrative Dermatological training, and a clinical focus on skin health. I’m best known for my work with eczema, particularly in its most severe and complex forms, including topical steroid withdrawal.
I help you heal your skin from the inside out and the outside in.
I’ve built a reputation for taking on the cases others couldn’t crack—often working with people who have been struggling for years without results. And while I love seeing big transformations, it’s the small wins that matter most:
Needing to moisturise less often
Sleeping through the night
No longer having to wash blood out of sheets
Being able to leave the house because your skin’s better
Taking up gardening and other hobbies again
Watching life start to feel “normal” again
Being able to manage a flare in a matter of days instead of it dragging on for months
These moments are profound—and they’re what drive my work.
A Clinical Process That Leaves No Stone Unturned
I developed The Clear Skin Formula as a structured clinical approach to investigating the internal drivers of skin conditions. It’s the process I use with every patient to ensure nothing is overlooked.
This method gives us:
Clearer direction and treatment plans
More efficient and targeted care
Greater confidence in what we’re working on
Most importantly, longer-lasting results
Our clinic approach is rooted in evidence-based naturopathic care, including:
Pathology and functional testing
Corneotherapy and customised dermatological topicals
An integrative mindset across gut, immune, hormonal and nervous system health
We don’t just restore the skin barrier—we treat the internal dysfunctions that create that barrier breakdown in the first place.
Why I’m So Passionate About Skin
I’m passionate about treating skin because I see, every single day, how deeply chronic skin conditions impact mental health and quality of life.
Acne sufferers often cry when they look in the mirror. They wake up early just to have enough time to hide breakouts, avoid clothes that reveal active areas, and spend thousands on products that promise more than they can deliver.
Eczema sufferers scratch all day and night. They often avoid social situations, are frequently in pain, and experience confusion and stress about what will help—especially when the only strategy conventional medicine offers is long-term steroid use.
What breaks my heart most is how many people are doing everything they can to help themselves, but aren’t given the guidance that’s appropriate for them. This leads to restrictive eating, high stress, and no clear plan forward; leaving people feeling like they’ll never get better because they’ve tried everything already with no success. That’s why what we do is different; because everyone has an answer that will work for them, it’s just about finding what that is.
I’m passionate about skin because it is complex—it keeps my brain fully engaged (maybe a little too much sometimes). It demands truly personalised care, which is what an integrative Naturopathic approach does best. And helping someone live a life free of the physical, emotional and psychological weight of chronic skin disease? That’s an honour I’ll never take lightly.
My Healing Philosophy
My goal is always long-term healing—not band-aid fixes.
That’s why education, investigation, and clear strategy matter so much in my process. By understanding your internal drivers, we can support the systems that are out of balance and create a sustainable plan for the future.
Chronic skin conditions like eczema and acne often require long-term care. And while we may use targeted tools in the active treatment phase, my ultimate goal is simple:
That you won’t need me forever.
I want you to feel confident, educated, and empowered enough to care for your skin with ease, using simple, sustainable strategies that support your whole-body health.
I deeply trust the body’s ability to heal. When we understand its language—and give it the right environment—amazing things can happen.
Beyond the Clinic
I have done a lot in the 10+ years I’ve been practising. I’ve built the incredible Acne & Eczema Clinic after many years operating a multi-disciplinary clinic. I’ve created E/FA Pure, Formula S2 and Something Else Skincare. I’ve worked with hundreds of patients and I’ve helped educate and mentor a lot of practitioners. In my years as a clinician, drowning in workload, I also created software which helped to solve a lot of problems I had in being able to provide the highest level of care and education without burning myself out. This software business has evolved over the years and is now something I spend more time on outside of seeing patients.
I don’t consult full-time, but rather split my time between clinic operations/patient management and my expanding role as a clinical educator and innovator in multiple industries. My focus after so many years of success in treating complex skin conditions is now on how to teach my processes to others, and raise the bar of fundamental knowledge in all industries that work with skin, so that I can impact not just the patients I work with 1:1 but the entire world. This is a big mission, and it brings me both the most joy and purpose in my life (and a significant amount of grey hair).
Life Outside of Work
My two biggest loves are my family and my work. Whilst I am definitely a workaholic, when I’m not consulting or creating, you’ll find me at the beach, playing guitar, in the gym lifting weights, making delicious food, listening to old records, or road-tripping around regional Australia looking for the perfect place to build my dream tiny home.
I am also unashamedly the self-proclaimed biggest fan of John Farnham.
You’re not alone in this.
Whether you're dealing with acne, eczema, perioral dermatitis, or other complex skin concerns, I’m here to help you uncover the “why” and support you with a plan that actually works—one that honours your body, your goals, and your reality. One that’s rooted in our principles of finding your unique drivers and bringing balance to them; from the outside in and the inside out.
