Our Practitioners

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

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.”

Ann lives with nature on 18 acres of bushland with roos, echidnas, wallabies, wombats, many birds and of course venomous snakes and she believes that we can learn a lot from nature and the seasons. She understands how our bodies react to changes and the analogy of being the tree of life, removing unwanted branches and learning to gently move with the wind with our roots firmly in the ground.  Honesty, sincerity and integrity are values that are important to Ann and are displayed by her passion in assisting others to feel and scan their body to be aware of tension and emotional blockages.

Ann was in Science and business. However, since having children, she has explored and studied many methods of healing and wellness, including astrology, grief and loss, Jungian dream work, reiki, tarot, intuitive healing, massage, mind/body wellness and the use of communication, all whilst continuing her practices in yoga and meditation.

Since completing her Shiatsu studies, Ann has been well received as an honest, ethical and caring practitioner assisting many and varied clients on their self-empowering journey. Ann’s passion is to assist others to be the best version of themselves that they can be through touch, breath, stretches and some homework. She works by assisting the body to feel good, allowing the mind and body to work on healing at a deep level for wellness.

“The highest ideal of therapy is to restore health rapidly, gently, permanently; to remove and destroy the whole disease in the shortest, surest, least harmful way, according to clearly comprehensible principles. – Samuel Hahnemann

A fascination with nature and harmonious living has inspired Daniel to explore alternative views of medicine and healing, and particularly healing meditation and yoga.

He has been teaching Mindfulness Meditation for the last 10 years - (Melbourne Mindfulness Training) across Australia within Educational Cooperatives and within clinical settings. He has his own experience in the practice of meditation and can teach meditation techniques to clients, enabling them to use their mind in a way that supports them, and addresses their emotional needs. These techniques can be extremely helpful in underpinning their ability to heal. 

He aims to help patients to develop unconditional acceptance of themselves and others, based on the understanding that the physical complaints of a patient may be affected by their emotional, mental and spiritual balance. His approach enables clients to experience healing at a deeper, more profound level.
