Karen Saunders BHSc. (Nat)
”What lights me up is helping those born into female bodies understand themselves. I’m driven at my core to understand what makes things work. This makes me a curious and empathetic practitioner.”
Karen Saunders is a degree-qualified Naturopath with over eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy, Nutrition, and Herbal Medicine from Endeavour College of Natural Health and is a member of the National Herbalists Association of Australia.
Karen continually upskills, having completed advanced studies in pathology interpretation, women’s reproductive medicine, and functional digestive disorders. She counts some of Australia’s leading educators as mentors and also provides clinical mentorship to new practitioners herself.
Karen is the creator of the popular Foundations for Women program, a 4-week online gut and hormone reset that has helped hundreds of women achieve better health. She’s also an experienced yoga, mindfulness, and meditation practitioner, offering sessions and retreats in Australia and Bali.
“I love the delicate hormonal interplay within our bodies. Being a naturopath is like solving a new puzzle with every client. My passion for helping women stems from my grandmother’s struggles with severe periods that led to a hysterectomy in her 40s. Today, I’m driven to help women overcome similar challenges and advocate for better research and understanding of women’s health.”
