Hello, I’m Owen Fisher – a naturopath, caregiver, scientist, and passionate advocate for holistic healing. My journey into naturopathy has been anything but traditional, and that’s what makes my approach unique. With a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Master’s in Environmental Management, I spent over a decade working in environmental and HSE roles in the mining industry. My work was grounded in data analysis, compliance, and problem-solving—skills that now form the foundation of my evidence-based naturopathic practice. My path changed dramatically when my youngest son was diagnosed with autism at just 20 months of age. I soon became the primary caregiver for him and his two older brothers. When my son was just over two years old, a chance meeting with a naturopath introduced us to a more holistic and functional medicine approach. The improvements we saw in his condition were profound—and this experience sparked a deep personal interest in naturopathy. After several years of exploring integrative approaches and supporting my family’s health journey, I decided to formally study naturopathy. In 2024, my son was diagnosed with two rare genetic conditions — FOXP1 syndrome and an SLC6A1 variant — which further cemented my commitment to supporting children and families navigating complex health challenges. Today, I operate a naturopathic clinic in Perth, offering both in-person and telehealth consultations. I work with clients across a range of health concerns, with a particular focus on: • Gut and immune health • Cognitive and developmental conditions • Thyroid and anxiety-related issues • Sleep and anxiety issues I also offer supportive therapies such as red-light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments, integrating science and natural medicine to guide people toward their best health outcomes. I am a strong believer in a collaborative approach and work together with allied health professionals and alternative therapists. Some of the team that I meet at least monthly are neurologists, immunologists, paediatricians, OTs, PTs, Chinese herbalists and acupuncturists, and developmental therapists. Outside the clinic, I’m a coordinator for the Western Australia Chapter of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA), supporting community, education, and professional development for our local practitioners. Away from work, I’m a proud husband and father to three boys. I enjoy staying active through CrossFit and value community, resilience, and continuous learning. While I am available for speaking events and workshops, my primary focus remains on client care and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. If you're looking for a naturopath who understands both the clinical and personal sides of chronic and complex health conditions, I’d be honoured to work with you.

<a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="https://plantednutrition.nz/about/">I’m Luke</a> - a Registered Clinical Nutritionist (CNA) and Wellness Educator based in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I help people cut through the confusion of health advice and feel confident in how they nourish their bodies and minds. My background brings together evidence-based nutritional science, psychology, metabolic health, and mindfulness practices. I graduated with first-class honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and later completed specialist Clinical Nutrition training (HPN 2) under the mentorship of Dr. Cliff Harvey at the Holistic Performance Institute, building on earlier studies in psychology at Victoria University. I’ve continued postgraduate learning at institutions including Aberdeen and Deakin University, with a strong focus on clinical nutrition for health conditions, nutritional psychiatry, and metabolic wellness. My work is shaped not just by education, but by lived experience, travel, and curiosity. Yoga teacher training in India deepened my understanding of movement, breath, and cultural perspectives on health, and strengthened my ability to support clients with the mental and emotional aspects of change - not just what’s on their plate. Before establishing my own practice, I gained experience through an internship with health researcher and best-selling author Jason Shon Bennett. Today, I continue to share research and practical tools through writing for the Aotearoa Vegan & Plant-Based Living Magazine, recording my podcast and YouTube content, and running workshops and education programs. Outside of work, you’ll likely find me in nature - surfing, cycling, lifting weights, or tending to my vegetable garden. I believe well-being exists at the intersection of nourishment, movement, and mindfulness. My mission is simple: to bridge the gap between clinical science and real-life application - empowering you to build sustainable habits, develop a healthier relationship with food, and feel more vibrant, grounded, and capable every day. <a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="https://plantednutrition.nz/">My Website</a> I am available each day for online sessions and have in-person sessions available on Wednesdays at my clinic in Titirangi.
