Wellness Emporium Hero - Naturopaths Gold Coast MEET NATUROPATH ERIKA THE WELLNESS EMPORIUM BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Naturopath Erika The Wellness Emporium

Qualifications: BHSc Naturopathy  

MEET GOLD COAST NATUROPATH ERIKA

Hello, I’m Erika, a degree-qualified Naturopath living on the beautiful Gold Coast. I am passionate about helping individuals move from merely surviving to truly thriving on their health journeys. I believe that symptoms are the body’s way of communicating with us—they’re just the tip of the iceberg. My passion lies in diving deeper, beyond what’s visible, to uncover and address the underlying root causes.

Having experienced ill health both personally and through my family—from curling up in stomach pain as a teenager to watching loved ones unable to live life to the fullest—I understand firsthand the challenges of dis-ease.

With a background in tourism, the question “How can I help you?” has always been at the heart of what I do. But as I progressed in my career, I began to ask, “How can I help on a deeper level?” This question led me to pursue a career in health, with Naturopathy as my chosen path—because without health, we cannot fully enjoy life’s adventures.

Your health is your wealth—it’s the most valuable asset you’ll ever own.

I am passionate about supporting the whole family, from grandchildren to grandparents, and everyone in between. My areas of special interest include gut health, immune support, and mental well-being. I’m also committed to continuous learning and growth, which is why I’m currently enrolled in an NLP coaching course and a life mastery development program. These additional tools allow me to empower and educate my clients even further in their health journeys.

So, let me ask—how can I help you thrive today?

Making your home low-tox doesn’t mean doing ever Making your home low-tox doesn’t mean doing everything at once. It’s about thoughtful swaps that support your family’s health without the overwhelm. Here’s how we’ve started shifting toward a more conscious way of living at home:

Go Natural
We use organic cotton, bamboo or hemp for bedding and clothes. These materials are softer on kids’ skin and free from harsh dyes or pesticide residue. Bonus: they’re better for the planet too.

Clean Smarter
Traditional cleaning products are full of chemicals that linger in the air and on surfaces. We now use plant-based cleaners or make our own—Koala Eco has been a favourite in our home.

Kinder Skincare
Children’s skin absorbs more than we think. We’ve swapped out soaps and lotions for options without parabens, sulphates or synthetic fragrance. Lately, I’ve been using Bleum on both myself and my little one and we love it.

Toys That Care
We look for toys made from natural or recycled materials and labelled BPA, PVC and phthalate-free. Wooden toys and organic plush are great options. Always ask brands for their safety info, it matters.

Breathe Easy
Airing out the house daily helps more than you’d expect. We avoid synthetic air fresheners and use essential oils or fresh plants to keep things light. Air purifiers can also help, especially in smaller spaces.

Eat Clean
Organic fruits, veggies and whole foods help cut down exposure to pesticides and additives. This was one of the first changes we made—simple, nourishing swaps make a real difference over time.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about doing what we can, when we can. Save this post or pass it along to someone looking to make a few conscious shifts at home.

We’re exposed to toxins every single day — thr We’re exposed to toxins every single day — through what we eat, drink, and use in our homes. But the good news? You can start lightening that load with a few simple swaps. 🌿

Here’s what I recommend to my clients:
• Choose organic where you can, especially with animal products — it makes a huge difference to your toxic exposure.
• Filter your water. Tap water contains heavy metals, chlorine, and other chemicals your body has to work hard to clear.
• Skip large predatory fish like tuna, swordfish, and shark — which carry higher mercury levels.
• Avoid canned foods, plastic bottles, and plastic packaging. Glass or stainless steel are safer options for food storage.
• And when it comes to cooking — trade Teflon for stainless steel, ceramic, or cast iron.

These changes may seem small, but they have a powerful ripple effect on your liver, hormones, and overall wellbeing.
Start where you can — your body will thank you for it. 🌸

You might be surprised to know that the air inside You might be surprised to know that the air inside your home can often be more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air quality can affect how well you sleep, your energy, your immune system and even your mood. And because many of us spend most of our day inside — working, cooking, sleeping — it makes sense to pay attention to what we’re breathing in.

Dust, pet dander, mould, chemical cleaning sprays, gas appliances and even synthetic candles can all contribute to poor air quality. Over time, this can affect people living with asthma or allergies, and can even irritate those who usually feel well.

The good news is, there are simple, low tox steps you can take to improve your indoor air. Start by ventilating your space. Open windows daily to let fresh air in. If you live in an area with poor outdoor air, try an air purifier with a HEPA filter — these can remove dust, pollen, smoke and other tiny particles that float around unseen.

Adding houseplants can help, too. Plants like peace lilies, pothos and spider plants are not only easy to care for, they also support cleaner air. Just avoid overwatering to prevent mould.

And don’t forget about what you’re cleaning with. Switch to natural cleaners like vinegar, bicarb soda and castile soap — especially if you have little ones or pets at home.

A few small changes can make a big difference in how your home feels — and how you feel in it.

Our bodies are exposed to small amounts of toxins Our bodies are exposed to small amounts of toxins every single day — from what we eat, drink, and even put on our skin.
Here are some of the most common culprits hiding in plain sight:
• Heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminium) – in water or contaminated foods
• BPA – in plastic water bottles, toys, and food containers 
• Phthalates – in fragrances and beauty products
• EDCs (endocrine disrupting chemicals) – in personal care and cleaning products

Knowledge is the first step to reducing your exposure 🌿

We’re all busy, and grabbing takeaway is often t We’re all busy, and grabbing takeaway is often the easiest option. But what we don’t often consider is how plastic packaging could be affecting our health — especially when heat is involved.

Many common takeaway containers, including single-use plastics and cling wrap, can leach microplastics and harmful chemicals like phthalates and BPA when exposed to heat, oily food, or sunlight. These substances have been linked to hormone disruption, gut imbalance, and a growing body burden of toxins over time.

Microplastics don’t just come from ocean pollution — they’re on your dinner plate more often than you think. And if you’re reheating leftovers in the same container they came in, that risk increases.

The good news? You don’t need to stop enjoying convenience food altogether. A few simple swaps go a long way in reducing your toxic exposure:

✔ Transfer takeaway food into glass or ceramic
✔ Reheat only in microwave-safe, plastic-free dishes
✔ Keep a set of reusable cutlery in your bag
✔ Skip the cling wrap on hot leftovers
✔ Choose cafes that use compostable or non-plastic packaging

It’s about reducing the everyday exposures that add up. And small steps count.

If you’re looking for personalised support to reduce your toxic load and make practical changes that suit your lifestyle, we’re here to help.

When people talk about “detoxing,” it’s ofte When people talk about “detoxing,” it’s often tied to juice cleanses or expensive supplements. But your body already has a detox system — your liver. It works every day to filter out toxins and waste. The real question is: are you giving it the support it needs?

Your liver plays a key role in hormone balance, digestion, energy and overall wellbeing. But when it’s under stress from processed foods, alcohol, sugar or environmental toxins, its ability to do that job can slow down. Over time, that can affect your gut, skin, energy and more.

The good news? You can support your liver naturally — with real food.

Certain wholefoods contain compounds that help your liver function better. Leafy greens and bitter vegetables can support phase two detox pathways. Garlic, beetroot and turmeric help stimulate bile flow and reduce inflammation. Fibre supports your gut and helps eliminate waste. Even lemon in warm water can support digestion first thing in the morning.

It’s not about extremes — just small, daily choices that help lighten the load on your liver and support your long-term health.

A few simple tips:
✔ Eat more greens, especially rocket, spinach or kale
✔ Limit alcohol and processed foods
✔ Stay hydrated with filtered water
✔ Include healthy fats like avocado and olive oil
✔ Make room for rest, movement and gut support

Lots of mainstream beauty products contain chemica Lots of mainstream beauty products contain chemicals like parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, and SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). These are widely used because they:
* Preserve products (so they last longer on shelves)
* Make scents stick
* Help products foam or spread easily.

The problem? 🚫 These chemicals can act as Endocrine disruptors = mimic, block, or interfere with your hormones—the body’s messengers that regulate things like mood, energy, metabolism, fertility, and stress response.

* Parabens mimic estrogen, throwing off hormone balance.
* Phthalates can interfere with reproductive hormones and have been linked to fertility issues.
* Fragrance (a catch-all term that can hide hundreds of chemicals) often contains hormone-disrupting compounds.

Since your skin is highly absorbent, these chemicals don’t just sit on the surface. They enter your bloodstream, adding to your body’s “toxic load.” Over time, these can impact your:�- Hormones (PMS, fertility, thyroid)�- Skin (acne, eczema, irritation)�- Gut health�- Mood & energy

You don’t need to throw out your whole cabinet overnight—low-tox living is all about progress, not perfection.
✨ Start with your daily essentials (lotion, sunscreen, deodorant).
✨ Look for simple, clean ingredients.
✨ Each small swap lowers your toxic load and supports your hormones, skin, and overall wellbeing.

Small changes → big impact 💛
