Our Nutritionist & Naturopath
Meet Denise Hales, our in-house Gut Guru
MY BEAUTIFUL SEA CHANGE
After many years of operating my clinic in inner Brisbane, I have moved my practice to the Gold Coast where I offer online or face-to-face appointments. I have merged my three loves: Naturopathy, Gut Happy products, and Helminthic Therapy.
I believe getting “Gut Happy” is the key to unlocking so many modern ailments, such as autoimmune conditions, chronic illnesses, and even cancer.
Starting as a young Paediatric Nurse in the 1970s ignited my desire to live a life inspired by good health.
This naturally led me to study Naturopathy, which I have been practicing for around 15 years.
I am passionate about gut health, and many of my clients jokingly call me the “Gut Guru.”
My obsession with the gut has led me to Helminthic Therapy. We were trained by Dr Sidney Baker in the USA in 2019, and I now manufacture HDC helminths in our lab in Brisbane. Helminthic therapy has been truly life changing for many of my patients.

My mission is to restore the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and absorption of food and preventing disease-causing bacteria, which in turn benefits your immune system and many other aspects of health. An imbalance of healthy and unhealthy microbes (known as dysbiosis), may contribute to:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Weight gain / loss
• Food intolerances / allergies
• Autoimmune disorders
• Fatigue / brain fog
• High blood sugar / high cholesterol
• And many other health illnesses
I believe getting “Gut Happy,” is the key to unlocking so many modern ailments, such as autoimmune conditions, chronic illnesses, and even cancer.
I work with both adults and children (including many children on the Autism spectrum), and I would love to work with you to unlock a life of better health.
