Kristie Folkes Naturopath

Overview

With over 20 years of experience as a naturopath, Kristie has dedicated her work to supporting the mental health of children, adults, and families as a whole. She specialises in behavioural and neurological conditions in children — including OCD, tics, eating disorders, PANS/PANDAS, and defiance-related issues — as well as mood, anxiety, and burnout concerns in adults.

Kristie’s approach is rooted in identifying the underlying drivers of emotional and behavioural symptoms. Using tools like genetic and gut health testing, she takes the guesswork out of care — creating tailored plans that support balance, regulation, and resilience at every age.

She is trained in Walsh Nutrient Therapy for Mental Health, GEMM gut protocol, Metabolic Balance and has completed advanced mentoring in PANS and PANDAS through Keonie Moore. Her practice is grounded in biochemistry and functional medicine principles, with a warm, empathetic approach that puts the whole person — and family system — at the centre.

As a mother of a child with chronic health needs, Kristie deeply understands the emotional weight families carry. Her goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make sustainable changes — whether you're navigating your child’s needs or your own.
