Naturopathy

Knox Naturopathy

Our Wantirna naturopath, Kirsten has an integrative approach, blending evidence-based practices with traditional herbal knowledge and treatments. Guided by traditional Western herbalism, she seeks to understand each person’s unique constitution and patterns of imbalance. By utilising general and functional pathology testing when needed, she pieces together a person’s full health story, allowing her to develop personalised treatment plans that are not only effective but also realistic, achievable, and enjoyable. These plans often incorporate dietary and lifestyle adjustments, herbal medicines, and targeted nutrition support to address the root causes of illness and promote lasting wellness.

A strong advocate for the accessibility of herbal medicine, Kirsten enjoys teaching others about medicinal plants and  how to grow and make their own herbal remedies. Her goal is to empower people with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their health and embrace the healing power of nature.
