As a Clinical Naturopath & proud Torres Strait Islander, now residing on Yugambeh Country (Gold Coast), my mission is to provide a culturally safe & nuturing space where honesty and compassion can guide our discussions, where individuals from all walks of life can share their unique health journeys and discuss their health goals in-depth. I believe in addressing health imbalances at their core, through evidence-based & results-driven practises.

I’m Natalie Baxter, a clinical nutritionist (BHSc Nutritional Medicine) who helps women restore balance in their hormones, gut health, skin, and weight through realistic, science-based nutrition. With over five years of experience in retreat settings, I’ve seen how deeply nutrition influences not just physical health- but mood, confidence and energy. My approach is rooted in evidence but always tailored to the individual - combining targeted nutrition strategies with support for sleep, stress and mindset so lasting change feels achievable - not overwhelming. Whether your goal is to rebalance hormones, improve digestion, support healthy skin, or achieve sustainable weight loss, I focus on identifying the root causes rather than just treating symptoms.

Tailoring your Diet to Fight Life’s Demands. A Private Alternative Medicine Solution. Hello there! I’m Nakiya, a 30 year old mother of two girls and one fully grown man (husband) and owner of Amalia Health. I began my journey in Nutritional Medicine because I’d exhausted all options in conventional medicine when my daughter fell ill. It then made sense to me, that, the biochemical pathways in our body can be improved, supported and alleviated by the very nutrients in Wholefood. The earth has been so kind to provide us!

I support women in midlife experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, hormonal changes, digestive concerns, disrupted sleep and difficulty managing weight. I also work with metabolic health concerns and symptoms that remain difficult to explain—even when standard test results appear “normal”. My approach is investigative and personalised. I look at the connections across your symptoms, health history, digestion, hormones, metabolism, stress load, nutrition, lifestyle and genetic tendencies where relevant. The aim is to identify meaningful patterns, clarify your priorities and develop practical next steps suited to your individual needs. Every new client begins with a two-part Comprehensive Health Assessment. Your Health Story Consultation allows time to explore the wider picture, while your following Personalised Health Strategy Consultation brings the information together into clear priorities, initial recommendations and suitable care options. Further support may include a personalised Care Pathway, Continuing Care Consultations, nutrigenetic profiling or functional testing where clinically appropriate. I am a degree-qualified Clinical Naturopath, Fitgenes Certified Practitioner and GEMM-accredited clinician, with professional membership through ANTA. Consultations are provided online via Telehealth to women throughout Australia.
