I’m Kirsten Sweeney, a dedicated Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer, passionate about holistic health and empowering you to be your best! My personal journey has been one of profound discovery and transformation, and I'm thrilled to share my expertise to assist you in navigating the intricate dance of metabolism, hormones, gut health, the nervous system, and overall well-being. I hold a degree in Naturopathy and Nutrition, complemented by roles as a Personal Trainer and a Master's in Education and Teaching. With a decade of experience as the head naturopath at Australia's leading Health Retreat, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my practice. My mission is to empower teens and individuals of all ages to achieve their optimal health and well-being. I believe in nurturing the body's natural ability to heal and thrive through personalised care and holistic approaches. I understand the struggles firsthand, having endured painful periods, severe PMS, cramps, mood swings, anxiety, and other discomforts in my teens and twenties. Believing these symptoms were normal, I persevered until I discovered the truth—what I thought was "normal" was an indication of internal imbalance. Driven by a desire for change, I delved into a degree, clinical studies, books, podcasts, and countless resources about overall health. By implementing changes, tracking my cycle, and paying attention to my body's signals, I found clarity after a decade of hormonal imbalance. This journey inspired me to become a beacon of knowledge and support for others. As a modern, caring naturopath, I am committed to providing the finest healthcare. My approach combines scientific, evidence-based practices with traditional therapies. I advocate collaboration with medical professionals to build an integrated health model for optimum well-being. Utilising functional pathology testing and holistic techniques such as herbal medicine, nutraceuticals, flower essences, aromatherapy, mindfulness, lifestyle changes and fitness advice, I address a range of conditions—from hormonal imbalances to digestive issues, stress, and general wellness. My goal is to treat the root cause of health issues, not just the symptoms, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health care. With passion, love, and extensive experience, I am here to collaborate with you in creating a personalised health plan. Together, we can pave the way for a vibrant, happier, and healthier life—the life you desire and deserve. I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with me. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to making a positive difference in your life.

Over the years working as a pharmacist, I became increasingly aware of the heavy burden that preventable, lifestyle-related chronic conditions place on individuals. This experience led me to expand my understanding of health beyond prescriptions - completing a bachelor’s degree in naturopathy (with distinction), followed by further training in lifestyle and environmental medicine. Today, I integrate both pharmaceutical insight and holistic care to support clients as a natural medicine practitioner. My approach combines evidence-based tools like functional testing and detailed case reviews with a deep understanding of medication interactions, nutritional needs, and lifestyle factors. By identifying imbalances across medications, diet, habits, and health history, I develop personalised care plans - using herbs, nutraceuticals, and supportive education to help you feel more energised, resilient, and in control of your health. My clinical focus includes: • Metabolic health: support for cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, insulin resistance, and healthy body composition • Digestive health: addressing gut dysfunction and improving overall digestion • Fatigue and energy support • Women’s health: including vaginal microbiome balance, candida, BV, PCOS, endometriosis, hormone-related symptoms (PMS, PMDD), fertility, perimenopause, and menopause • Mental wellbeing: stress, anxiety, OCD, and sleep optimisation • Children’s health: supporting the growth and development of young minds and bodies • Integrative medication reviews: Minimising medicine-related nutritional deficiencies, side effects and making recommendations to your GP to safely get you off your medications. When we work together, you’ll not only receive a tailored health plan - you’ll gain clarity on what your body needs and why, so you can build long-term wellbeing with confidence and clarity.

My focus lies in Women's health, Stress and Mood management, and Gut health, although not limited to. My passion lies in uncovering the root causes of illness, firmly believing that genuine healing emerges from addressing these roots rather than merely treating symptoms. I am devoted to incorporating a patient-centred care approach, treating each individual holistically by considering their unique circumstances, lifestyles, and preferences. I prioritise actively listening to my clients, and creating a safe and judgment-free space is my aim, fostering an environment where clients feel comfortable collaborating, ensuring we can collectively achieve all health goals.​On a personal note, I've experienced the challenges of anxiety, painful periods, and the journey of coming off the contraceptive pill. I understand what it may feel like to not feel heard or understood when it comes to health issues. These experiences have fueled my dedication to mental health and finding balance for women. In my practice, I incorporate the wisdom of modalities such as clinical nutrition and Western herbal medicine. Furthermore, I actively promote the use of functional testing and aim to employ an evidence-based methodology to tailor personalised treatment plans.

Bringing new life into the world is the biggest creative work of our lifetime. At WellNatal, we help you optimise your health and grow your family. We offer support across three significant seasons: PREPARATION & PRECONCEPTION CARE Preconception care is about “stacking the deck in your favour” for a healthier pregnancy, a well-nourished baby and a better postpartum experience. Optimising nutrition and overall health in both partners can have a lasting positive impact on the pregnancy and beyond. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - What should I do to be at my healthiest before conceiving? - Are there any natural ways to improve fertility? - How can I find out if I have nutrient deficiencies? - I have endometriosis, PCOS or amenorrhea, can nutrition help? - What should I do if I’ve stopped or want to stop contraception (e.g. “the pill”)? - I’m still exhausted from my last pregnancy, how can I revitalise my health before conceiving? - How can I decrease my risk of gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications? - Which blood tests or other testing should I do? - Which prenatal vitamin should I take? Key focus areas: - Optimising fertility - Improving egg & sperm quality - Identifying & treating nutrient deficiencies that could impact pregnancy & postpartum - Improving reproductive, menstrual & hormone health - Identifying & removing barriers to healthy conception - Improving metabolic health PREGNANCY CARE Pregnancy care naturally supports the mother’s physical changes during pregnancy, healthy foetal development and supports birth to postpartum. Unfortunately, much of the advice around pregnancy nutrition and lifestyle is outdated or incorrect. With specialist training in this area, we relieve the stress and overwhelm by giving you research-backed and holistic prenatal nutrition advice. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - Which foods are “safe” to eat in pregnancy? - Which foods should I eat for a healthy pregnancy? - How can I eat to support healthy growth of my baby? - How can I manage my blood sugar naturally? - How can I have more energy and less swelling? - Which prenatal vitamin should I be taking, if at all? - My iron supplement makes me constipated, what should I do? - Which kind of exercise is safe in pregnancy? - I’m having twins, how can I support my pregnancy? Key focus areas: - Emphasising intake of foods and nutrients that help grow a healthy baby - Minimising foods that impede a healthy pregnancy - Navigating pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue and swelling - Navigating food cravings and aversions - Managing gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications with a real food approach - Supporting multiples - Supporting appropriate exercise and movement - Treating iron deficiency and other nutrient deficiencies - Preparing for birth and postpartum planning POSTPARTUM CARE Postpartum care focuses on the mother’s (often-overlooked) recovery from birth and supports healthy, nutrient rich breastmilk to nourish and sustain the growing newborn. Compared to often rudimentary and short-lived conventional postpartum care, we support mother’s for as long as they need. Postpartum is forever and supporting the mother’s recovery can help prevent compounding health issues over multiple pregnancies. - What should I eat in postpartum if I am breastfeeding vs bottle feeding? - Why am I so hungry? - Does my diet affect my breast milk? - When should I get blood tests done? - I was told my blood test are “normal” but I don’t feel normal, what can I do? - How can I eat to support my energy and mood? - Can certain foods help my body recover from labour and birth? - Is my hair loss normal? - I think I might have post-natal depletion, what can I do? - How can I fix my iron deficiency? Key focus areas: - Nutritional support for breastfeeding - Supporting post-birth recovery and healing - Identifying and treating nutrient deficiencies - Supporting healthy hormones and reproductive function - Nervous system and energy support - “Post-natal depletion” treatment SERVICES 1:1 Consultations – online, Australia wide TESTING - Blood test/pathology scripts - DUTCH testing - Co-Biome GI mapping - Others as needed PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE Many providers offer rebates.
