Qualifications and Memberships

Dr Hazel is an experienced GP and menopause specialist, known for her calm, compassionate approach and her ability to make women feel truly heard. She takes a wholistic, integrative approach to care, looking beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of a woman’s health.

She graduated from medical school in the UK in 2010, earning an additional degree after a year spent studying global health and research. After two years working as a junior doctor in the UK, she moved to Perth, where she built her life, meeting her partner, adopting a rescue dog and welcoming two children. She became a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2018.

Dr Hazel spent several years in hospital based medicine, including palliative care, where she completed a Clinical Diploma in Palliative Medicine. General practice was always where she felt most at home, drawn to the variety of presentations and the continuity of care that comes from knowing her patients over time.

Dr Hazel is a registered member of the Australasian Menopause Society and is committed to ongoing upskilling in this rapidly evolving field, ensuring her patients receive care informed by the latest evidence and guidelines. In 2021 she began formal training in integrative medicine through the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. She is a member of the RACGP, AMS and ACNEM, and combines this training with her clinical experience to offer women a more comprehensive approach to their hormonal health.

Areas of specialty and approach to treatment

Hazel can offer a more detailed and thorough approach to managing:

  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Female hormonal health
  • Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
  • Hypermobility spectrum disorder
  • Autoimmune conditions

Dr Hazel takes a root cause approach, spending time with patients to understand the full picture rather than treating symptoms in isolation. She is relatable, open minded and non judgemental, and is passionate about educating and empowering women to navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence.

Due to regulations in place, Dr Hazel does not currently prescribe compounded bio-identical hormones or thyroid extract.

Due to the specialist and popular nature of integrative medicine, there is often a lack of availability of appointments. Therefore, Dr Hazel requires you to maintain a relationship with your regular GP for urgent and acute health needs. She does not have the capacity to undertake Workers Comp or Motor vehicle injury claims.
