Banksia Naturopathy is rooted in the belief that you deserve the time and space to feel truly heard. I’m Sarah, a qualified clinical naturopath with a special interest in acne and skin health. I look beyond what is happening on the skin, taking the time to learn about you, your health history and the different things that may be contributing to your acne. This might include digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition and the rhythms of your everyday life. Having experienced acne myself, I know it can affect far more than your skin. It can shape your confidence, the way you see yourself and how comfortable you feel moving through the world. My consultations offer space to talk openly about what has been happening, what you have already tried and where you would like to go from here. My approach is practical and personal, with recommendations made to suit your health, your needs and your life. I want you to leave each consultation with a clearer understanding of your body and skin.

I’m a Naturopath with over 17 years of clinical experience and a genuine passion for gut health. I love supporting my clients to reach their health goals through simple, realistic changes that align with the key pillars of wellbeing. For the past eight years, I’ve focused on gut-related issues, completing extensive training in this area and working alongside Dr. Jason Hawrelak at the Gut and Microbiome Clinic. This experience has deepened my understanding of the microbiome and its incredible impact on overall health. I’m also passionate about the connection between our gut, our planet, and our wellbeing — how the health of our environment and the health of our bodies are deeply intertwined. My goal is to help people feel their best while fostering a greater appreciation for the role we all play in supporting a healthier planet.

Pip Reed — Women's Health Clinical Nutritionist I specialise in women's hormone health through advanced functional testing that finds the root cause of why your body isn't responding. Most of the women I work with have been told their results are normal. They've tried everything. And they're still exhausted, inflamed, and unable to shift weight. The problem was never effort. It was that nobody had looked at the full picture. I investigate. I test. I connect the dots. My clinical focus includes hormone imbalance, weight resistance, endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, perimenopause, menopause, infertility, thyroid disorders, chronic stress and burnout, gut dysfunction, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, mental health, acne and chronic inflammation. Every client starts with a Clinical Case Review — a private session where I review your full history, symptoms and test results together, identify what's actually driving how you feel, and map exactly what I'd do about it. You leave with clarity and a plan. I have been a registered clinical nutritionist for 15 years. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Nutritional Medicine and a Bachelor of Business, and I am a current member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA) and the International Association of Corneotherapy (IAC). I consult worldwide via online video and phone. Featured in Marie Claire, Elle, OK!, NW, Wellness By Design, Get Me Glow, Channel Ten News and Triple J.

Hi — I’m Tara, a naturopath based in Yallingup, Western Australia, with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). I’ve always been passionate about health, wellness and the healing power of plants, and over the years I’ve lived and travelled in many places around the world. When I moved to Australia, it felt like I had come home — and here I found a way to combine my love of nature, curiosity about human biology, and desire to support others’ wellbeing. I specialise in integrative, whole-person care — blending nutrition, herbal medicine and, when helpful, functional testing (genetic, microbiome or hormone) — to support mental-health, hormonal, gut and overall wellness. A big focus of my work is with people in a 28-day rehabilitation program: clients navigating addiction recovery, trauma or complex mental-health challenges. I also welcome those seeking support for hormonal imbalance, gut health, lifestyle-related concerns, or simply a path toward better long-term wellbeing. For me, naturopathy is about more than treating symptoms — it’s about supporting the whole person: body, mind, environment and life context. I strive to create a compassionate, respectful and collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered. I aim to help you understand your body’s needs, gently restore balance, and guide you toward sustainable health over time. When I’m not working with clients, I’m raising my children, caring for our rural property (animals, garden, meal planning, household routines), and weaving nourishment and rhythm into everyday life. I believe the way we live — the food we eat, the spaces we inhabit, the routines we keep — is deeply tied to health. If you’re looking for a practitioner who values connection, gentleness, and holistic wellness — someone who sees you beyond the symptoms — I’d be honored to walk beside you on your healing journey.
