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 Clinical Nutritionist I specialise in women's hormone health through advanced functional testing that finds 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 connect the dots. My clinical focus includes hormone imbalance, weight resistance, endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, perimenopause, menopause, infertility, thyroid disorders, chronic stress and burnout, gut dysfunction, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, mental health, acne and chronic inflammation. Every client starts with a Clinical Case Review — a private session where I review your full history, symptoms and test results together, identify what's actually driving how you feel, and map exactly what I'd do about it. You leave with clarity and a plan. I have been a registered clinical nutritionist for 15 years. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Nutritional Medicine and a Bachelor of Business, and 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 and phone. Featured in Marie Claire, Elle, OK!, NW, Wellness By Design, Get Me Glow, Channel Ten News and Triple J.

When I came to Naturopathy, it was to resolve my personal health challenges. I felt let down by the current medical model and lost in a plethora of information to get to the bottom of why I was feeling just terrible, despite being one of the ‘healthiest’ people I knew! I was unable to get the support I needed from our medical system, constrained by unrealistically short appointments and with no clearly diagnosed illness. Ultimately, I was compelled to look for answers elsewhere, finding them in the world of natural therapies and a wholistic approach. My commitment to all my patients is to make sure you get the support you need, to go beyond the surface level approach, understand the drivers behind your symptoms, and identify which changes can help you get back on top of your game. Let’s make this life one of joy and resilience!
