Naina Varma

Dietitian

About Naina Naina is an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a special interest in supporting women living with diabetes, insulin resistance, and other metabolic health concerns. She helps women build sustainable eating habits, improve their relationship with food, and feel more confident managing their health without restrictive diets or unrealistic rules. Drawing on her experience across hospital, community, and mental health settings, Naina takes a whole-person approach to nutrition care. She understands that managing diabetes and insulin resistance is about far more than food alone. Factors such as stress, sleep, hormones, mental health, culture, neurodiversity, access to healthcare, and daily life demands all influence health outcomes. Naina is passionate about helping women navigate the often-confusing world of nutrition with practical, evidence-based guidance that fits their real lives. Whether someone is newly diagnosed with diabetes, managing insulin resistance, or looking to improve their energy, blood glucose levels, and long-term wellbeing, she works collaboratively with clients to create realistic and personalised strategies. Her approach is weight-inclusive, compassionate, and focused on supporting health-promoting behaviours rather than pursuing weight loss at all costs. She believes lasting change happens when people feel supported, understood, and empowered rather than judged. Naina also has extensive experience supporting individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, neurodivergence, mental health concerns, and chronic health conditions. She values lived experience and strives to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all clients. Naina is warm, approachable, and committed to walking alongside her clients as they build confidence in their health and nutrition journey.

Naturaliste Health Clinic

Naturopath

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.
