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.

I have a genuine client focussed relational style working with an orientation to the future. My passion is providing support and coping skills so my clients can live their best lives within their community.

Nutrigenomic Health Practitioner Clinical Nurse | Naturopath

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 Nutritionist & Diagnostic Specialist I specialise in women's hormone health — not through generic plans or guesswork, but through advanced functional diagnostics that find 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 treat. My clinical focus includes hormone imbalance, weight resistance, endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, perimenopause, menopause, infertility, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, gut dysfunction, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, mental health, acne and chronic inflammation. How I work with you: The Renew You Protocol — my signature 6-month programme for women who are done doing it alone. Comprehensive functional testing, personalised protocol, fortnightly consultations, practitioner-grade supplements and two rounds of testing to track your results. $10,000 in full or $500/week. The Renew You Assessment — one dedicated session to map your symptom picture, identify your primary drivers and determine your next step. $497, credited in full if you proceed to the Protocol. DIY Hormone Rebalance & Weight Loss Program — a clinically guided self-paced programme with personal symptom analysis, meal plans and supplement guidance. $297. I have been a registered clinical nutritionist for 14+ years. I hold a Bachelor of Business, Advanced Diploma in Nutritional Medicine, Certificate IV in Nutrition, Certificate III & IV in Fitness and Personal Training, and certifications in Yoga and Pilates. 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, by phone, and in clinic in Bowral NSW and occasionally Sydney. Out of hours clinic appointments available on request.

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.

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.
