Wendy Burke (she/ her)
BHSc (Nat).,, Adv.Dip.Nat., Adv.Dip.West.Herb.Medicine, Cert 3 & 4 Fitness
Member Australian Natural Therapies Association and Naturopath Herbalist Association Australia
The Healthy Hormone Naturopath was founded after being a Naturopath for a few years. I realised that helping people with female hormonal concerns and vaginal health was something that I was the most passionate about, so I created a business that is based solely around that. Female hormones are incredibly dynamic and evolving over our lifetime and if things go wrong, there can be a whole-body impact that can reduce quality of life. My goal is to work with my patients on a holistic basis so we can change that.
