A natural approach to clear and healthy skin.
Discover Natural Solutions for Healthy Skin
When your skin isn’t healthy it’s hard to feel your best. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea, dermatitis and psoriasis can have a huge impact on your day to day life and overall wellbeing. You may have spent years trying every cream, medication and skin care plan available to calm your skin issues, only to have them flare up again.
From a naturopathic medicine perspective, your skin is a reflection of your internal health. Skin problems often stem from multiple different factors including hormonal imbalances, inflammation, poor gut health, stress, diet and environmental triggers. While many treatment options aim to address the external symptoms, naturopathy focuses on identifying the root cause of your skin concerns to treat the problem at it’s core.
We take a comprehensive approach to uncovering the key areas that are contributing to your skin conditions. We then develop a personalised treatment plan to address both the internal and external factors, including dietary changes, lifestyle changes, targeted herbal & nutritional supplements, as well a review of your topical products to ensure no irritating or comedogenic ingredients are being used. This naturopathic approach aims to improve the health of the whole body, not just on-the-surface symptoms, leading to clear skin and long-lasting results.

Skin Conditions We Can Help With
Acne
Acne can have many different causes, from diet, to the types of products you use on your skin, to gut issues, hormonal imbalance, medications, infections, allergies or even genetics. Conventional acne treatments focus on managing surface symptoms, such as excess oil, bacteria and inflammation, but may not address the underlying triggers. A naturopathic approach works to identify and treat these root causes through tailored nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted herbal or nutritional support.
Eczema
Eczema can range in severity, from an occasional irritation to an ongoing cycle of itching, redness and sensitive skin that flares up without warning. It can be aggravated by gut issues, immune system reactivity, allergies, environmental triggers, or even stress. Naturopathic treatment works to calm inflammation while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier from within, using nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce flare frequency and severity.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis may stem from yeast overgrowth on the skin, stress, hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, and immune system factors. Regular treatment often involves medicated shampoos or topical creams to reduce symptoms, but these usually only offer temporary relief. Naturopathic care aims to address the root causes, balancing the skin’s microbiome, improving nutrient status, and supporting immune function, to promote lasting skin health.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis isn’t just a skin concern—it has an autoimmune component that can also cause joint pain and swelling. Flare-ups are often linked to inflammation, gut health, stress, and genetic predisposition. Naturopathy takes a holistic approach, aiming to reduce inflammation, address immune triggers, and support skin healing through dietary therapy, herbal medicines, and stress management strategies.
Your Skin Questions Answered
What can I expect from my first appointment?
Your initial consultation is a detailed, up to one-hour session designed to explore your skin concerns and overall health. We’ll discuss your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, diet, and any previous treatments you’ve tried. From there, we’ll identify possible contributing factors and create a tailored plan, which may include dietary guidance, herbal or nutritional supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and recommendations for further testing if needed.
What is the difference between dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis?
While they can look similar, these skin conditions have different underlying causes. Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is often linked to allergies, immune system reactivity, and skin barrier weakness, causing dryness and itching. Dermatitis is a broader term for skin inflammation and can have many triggers, such as irritants or allergens. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where skin cells build up too quickly, leading to thick, scaly patches. Understanding the difference is important in creating the most effective treatment plan.
How do I know if my skin condition is hormonal?
Skin concerns can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes or imbalances, particularly if breakouts or flare-ups follow a pattern, are worse around menstruation, or are accompanied by other hormonal symptoms such as irregular cycles, fatigue, or mood changes. A naturopath can help assess your hormonal health through case history, symptoms and functional testing.
Can diet changes help with acne?
Diet is frequently a contributor to acne, but individual causes are different for each person. Dairy is often a common trigger, but nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar or overall gut health issues can also play a part. Working with a qualified naturopath ensures that dietary changes are tailored to you, helping identify your specific triggers and correcting any nutrient gaps to support clearer skin and long-term results.
Will I need to stop using my current skincare products or medication?
Not necessarily. If your current routine or prescribed medication is helping, we can work alongside it. We’ll assess how your topical care fits into your overall skin health and make recommendations that are safe and complementary.
How long before I see improvements in my skin?
Skin healing time varies depending on the cause, how long the issue has been present, and your individual response to treatment. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others may need longer to see clear improvements, especially if the underlying cause has been there for some time.
Is this approach suitable for children or teenagers?
Yes. Naturopathy can be safely adapted for all ages, and we regularly work with children and teenagers experiencing skin issues such as acne, eczema, and dermatitis. Treatment is always tailored to age, lifestyle, and specific health needs.
