Our Practitioners

Emily is a qualified Naturopath, Herbalist and Skin Therapist with a particular focus on Skin Disorders.

Emily is our lead naturopath and skin therapist. Emily leads the skin team to help clients receive the best results from our range of skin therapies and body contouring treatments.

She has a deep understanding of the key systems within the body and how they work in order to restore balance and youthfulness in the skin. She also has extensive experience in hormonal and digestive health, blood sugar dysregulation, immune imbalance and nutritional deficiencies.

Emily is passionate about helping people look and feel their best and combines her knowledge and expertise to develop comprehensive plans using clean, customised skincare and naturopathic modalities. She has studied how the brain and nervous system impact the health of one’s skin, a term coined psycho-dermatology, and continues to undergo study in this field.

Emily is committed to helping others resolve frustrating skin issues because she struggled with hormonal cystic acne and mild rosacea for many years. Dissatisfied with the results from oral contraceptives, antibiotics and other conventional acne treatments, Emily decided to take matters in her own hands and find a safer and more sustainable solution to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Emily regularly practices yoga and meditation. She also enjoys quality time with her family, spending time re-energising in nature. "The aspect I love most about a Naturopathic approach to skin is that it empowers individuals as it educates them on how to make life long changes towards glowing skin.”

Allison is a qualified Naturopath having graduated from The Southern School of Natural Therapies with a Bachelor of Health Science. Paired with her training as a Corneotherapist, she has extensive knowledge of integrative treatments for skin disorders.

Allison's journey as a clinician began as a means to educate herself in the healing effects that diet, lifestyle and complementary therapies, such as herbal and nutritional medicine, can have on wellbeing. Understanding the value of holistic health sparked a desire to undertake evidence-based research of body systems and correlating treatment options. A driving inspiration is her experience with psoriasis and years of working in the cosmeceutical industry.

She advocates the synergistic use of herbal/nutritional based treatments alongside mainstream medical practices to create inclusive treatment approaches. 

Allison passionately guides people to love their skin and heal their bodies. She utilises customised skincare to treat the outside, whilst using naturopathic therapies to treat the inside. With a particular focus on immune and hormonal related skin concerns, Allison provides multifaceted treatment options that not only heal the skin but other related disorders/triggers.
