Introducing Katrina Tymms, Naturopath & Nutritionist
Katrina (or Katie) is a degree qualified Naturopath and Nutritionist who is passionate about helping people improve their health through natural therapies. With a strong interest in nutrition, Katrina enjoys offering advice on diet, healthy food choices, weight loss suggestions, as well as exercise and lifestyle advice.
With a past history of long distance running, she is now committed to her daily morning swim (in an outside pool - rain, hail or shine!!), and her athletic background allows her to understand the importance of exercise, diet and appropriate lifestyle options for our health. Diagnosed with Celiac disease 8 years ago, Katrina is very aware of the impact digestive issues can have on health and her own experiences allow her to be genuinely empathetic towards others with digestive problems and health issues, and how difficult dietary and lifestyle changes can be!
Her personable nature and counseling experience enables her to connect with people from all walks of life and she has a natural empathy and understanding for people and their health concerns. Working in the corporate world for many years before pursuing her passion as a Naturopath, Katie is very aware of the effects of stress and long working hours and the impact on our health and wellbeing.
Naturopathy is the natural path to better health. If you need advice about a specific health condition, or just generally feel unwell and lacking in energy, this is where seeing a Naturopath/ Nutritionist can help you.
Treatment involves a range of modalities appropriate for the individual, including herbal medicine, nutritional supplements and dietary and lifestyle advice.
Katrina is also trained with a Certicate in Bioimpedence Analysis (BIA) and this is included with every consultation.
What to expect from an Initial 1 hour Naturopathic Consultation

Bioimpedence Analysis Testing (BIA)
BIA is a science that was originally developed for the use in monitoring hospital patients after surgery and is also used by Astronauts to test body composition and health.
Everyone can benefit from this unique vitality and healthy ageing program, especially those who want to:-
- Take an active interest in their health and wellbeing
- Manage their weight more effectively (effective fat loss, not muscle loss!)
- Increase muscle tone and fitness
- Improve energy levels
- Age healthily (this test gives us your accurate biological age!!)
- Support the nutrition and health of their body cells
- Effectively reduce underlying inflammation and toxicity impeding health and wellness
Your Naturopath will perform a quick test and then enter your results into a computer, giving a computerized analysis of your health. It is a safe and painless procedure and provides your Naturopath with an insight into aspects of your health such as how much fat and muscle you have in your body, energy levels, cellular health, biological age, toxicity and inflammation levels, and much more.
This is an amazing test! No other test provides all this information so quickly and easily!
