Naturopathy & Nutrition
With JADE FLINT
Embracing holistic approaches to healing, naturopathy is founded on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Guided by the core principles of naturopathic philosophy, each person is treated wholly as an individual with the objective to treat the underlying cause of dysfunction and facilitate autonomous healing.
Jade is passionate about blending the tradition of naturopathy with contemporary evidence in a way that balances both its roots and a growing body of evidence. With an emphasis on identifying and managing the root cause of disharmony, naturopathy addresses symptoms of dysfunction to restore balance. Naturopathy combines the use of herbal medicine, nutrition or nutraceuticals, food as medicine and diet therapy, mind-body practices and lifestyle adjustments, with each treatment approach tailored to meet the specific needs or health goals of each individual. Supportive approaches including flower essences, iridology, or homeopathy may also be used to support treatment. Further, physical assessments such as vital signs, nail, tongue or eye signs, along with conventional and functional pathology testing may be incorporated into naturopathic treatment.
As a holistic and preventative modality, naturopathy is well suited to support a broad range of health conditions, both short-term and long term. Jade’s experience and expertise is will suited to the unique health needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals, and their interests lay in treating digestive issues, supporting the nervous system and mental health, restoring energy and vitality, supporting immune function, optimising skin health and supporting hormonal, sexual and menstrual health through an inclusive, empowered and holistic lens.

Jade Flint
Jade (they/she) is a qualified Naturopath whose practice emphasises traditional western herbal medicine practices and philosophy combined with contemporary research and evidence. Raised on an organic kiwi farm nestled in the mountains of north-east Victoria (Traditional custodians have not been formally recognised yet for this land), Jade drew inspiration from their ecology and a lifestyle of living in rhythm with the environment around them. This upbringing provided the foundation for curiosity for the synergistic relationship between people and plants, the essence of which they carry into their practice today. With herbalist grandparents, Jade’s early life emphasised the relational dynamic that can be fostered through utilising plants to heal. This upbringing later flowed into a fascination with the human body as a reflection and expression of nature itself, and how this perspective can facilitate a symbiotic relationship for healing.
Jade’s naturopathic practice is informed by the perspective that each body is a unique and fluid landscape – an endlessly shapeshifting and evolving vessel that is moulded by the process of ongoing change. They utilise this perspective to recognise each individual in their totality, working with the terrain of the individual to remove barriers to fluidity and restore harmony to the body. With an emphasis on realigning each body with it’s unique flow, Jade utilises food as medicine and where needed, nutritional supplementation, to nourish and transform the landscape of the body. Jade incorporates traditional western herbal medicine philosophy and evidence-based perspectives to artfully blend herbal formulations that combine the therapeutic actions of herbs with the needs of the body. Jade includes somatic and body-based practices to re-establish the relationship each individual has with their body, so that they may connect with their own ecology and unique patterns and rhythms. Jade practices with an awareness of the ebb and flow between the human form and nature itself – a holistic and dynamic synergy which encompasses our being – and seamlessly blends this perspective into their practice to uncover the root cause of dysfunction and restore the inner ecology.
Testimonials
I have loved working with Jade over the last 4 months, and have seen a huge improvement in my hormonal and menstrual health over this time! Jade is friendly and makes you feel comfortable, while also being informative and considered with her approach. Highly recommend seeing Jade for any naturopathic concern, but especially for improving post-pill/hormonal health. – Nina Fox.
Jade Flint is a highly skilled, experienced and excellent naturopath. She is also a delightful person who I felt complete trust from my first appointment. She is committed to helping you find the most achievable and sustainable path to healing and uses her expertise and her intuition to find the best way forward. She recently helped me heal from a ruptured Achilles tendon. While I was in a moon boot for 10 weeks, she supported my tissue and physical healing with targeted supplements at a time when exercise was not possible. It had the desired and much appreciated effect of accelerating my progress and healing. I am so grateful for her help, her kindness and her commitment to supporting me right through that period by following up each appointment with nutritional advice and ongoing support. I could not recommend Jade more highly. – Joanne Knorr.
Jade helped me bring my digestive health back on track, I loved the variety of help that I received, I felt deeply understood and supported, I received education that will support me for the rest of my life and no doubt I will be again seeking out her care in the future. Jade helped me overcome issues that I could not find support for in the medical system and only a few months after seeing Jade we were able to celebrate a great improvement! – Anna Papaioannou
Jade has been treating me over the past year for a range of longstanding chronic health issues, and the very visible improvement I have seen in my quality of life is unbelievable. Jade’s approach is holistic and highly personalised; they are the first practitioner I have seen who places importance on my own understanding of my body and tailors their treatments accordingly, taking everything into consideration from my budget to me a being non-binary person and making sure my treatment is always accessible and affirming. The environment of trust and comfort that Jade creates is unmatched, and their experience as a gender-diverse and queer practitioner makes their practice particularly special. The approach they have taken with my gynaecological issues and the way they helped me heal after gender-affirming surgery has been truly amazing, and I would tell any queer person seeking natural therapies to go to Jade. If you are looking for a naturopath with warmth and expertise, I cannot recommend anyone more highly :) - Eugenie Guillifer-Laurie
