About Janelle
Naturopath & Herbalist
Hi, I’m Janelle — naturopath, herbalist and retreat facilitator. I help you clear the noise, support your body’s natural detox pathways, and build everyday habits that make you feel energised, clear and so much more like yourself. Think practical herbal wisdom, evidence-informed care, and a dash of cheeky encouragement.
I believe your body wants to heal — it just needs the right support and a little breathing room. My work is about making that support simple, joyful and sustainable. No fads, no guilt, no overwhelm. Just grounded guidance that fits your real life.
What I do (and how it helps)
1:1 Consultations — Tailored naturopathic care with herbal medicine and lifestyle strategies for skin, digestion, hormones, mood and gentle detox support.
Retreats — Deep, nature-led resets that create space for real change (with plenty of laughs along the way).
Workshops — Bite-sized education to bring herbal wisdom into your kitchen, skincare and daily rhythm.
Custom Herbal Remedies — Thoughtfully crafted tinctures and blends to extend your results at home.
How we’ll work together
Simple over complicated. We zoom out, then take clear, doable steps.
Nourish first. Food, sleep, sunlight, herbs — the basics done beautifully.
Evidence + tradition. Modern research meets time-trusted herbal wisdom.
Judgement-free zone. You’re human. I meet you where you’re at.
Results you can feel. More energy, calmer skin & digestion, steadier mood, better boundaries — and more joy in your days.
Who I love working with
The tired-but-done-with-being-tired human who’s ready for support
The health-curious overthinker who wants clarity (not another rabbit hole)
The big-hearted carer who finally wants to prioritise their own wellbeing
What makes me different
I bring lived depth to this work — from time learning within a Native American community to completing a 19-day water fast, and years of weaving herbal medicine and nutrition into everyday life.
I pair that with a warm, practical approach that helps you feel empowered, seen, heard and not judged.
Also: I’m not afraid of a cheeky wink when things get too serious.
For the wild-hearted, health-curious and ready-for-more kind of human
But first, let’s rewind a little
Raised between Queensland sunshine and the Victorian bush, nature set my compass early. At seven I developed severe eczema, and in my teens, acne—experiences that taught me to listen to the body and sent me deep into health study.
Today I’m a qualified naturopath and herbalist with 15+ years in clinic, plus years facilitating 5-day fasting retreats, nutrition & yoga retreats, alongside supporting Tyler Tolman at his 7 & 30 day fasting retreats in Bali many years ago. My approach blends herbal medicine, gentle detox and nervous-system kindness with simple, doable habits.
Clients describe my work as calm, clear and practical. In person I may use iridology alongside a thorough case history; online we lean into patterns, timelines and (when useful) labs. Over time I’ve peeled back my own layers and become more grounded—seeing how stress and emotion thread through the whole picture of health.
My aim is simple: help you build a true foundation of wellness so you can heal, repair and age gracefully, with guidance you can trust and a little joy along the way.
