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 and is a member of the National Herbalists Association of Australia.
“My mission is to help those born female get to the root cause of their hormonal and digestive issues. I believe that by understanding root cause of symptoms, and using naturopathic tools like nutrition, herbal medicine and lifestyle medicine, we can all learn what our bodies need and to heal ourselves. This makes natural medicine an empowering type of medicine and this is what drives me everyday to do what I do!”
Karen has spent the last eight years in her clinical naturopathic practice helping thousands of women using naturopathy and education to lead more vivacious and balanced lives...understanding that often - there IS another way.
Karen is a passionate advocate for better health care for women, and more research carried out in female bodies - as well as better education for common women’s health conditions like endo, PCOS, fertility, gut health an vaginal conditions.
“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. I’m also a woman navigating her own puzzle, sometimes I get with PMDD, am a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser (!) and am currently navigating late ADHD and adenomyosis space myself… Today, I’m driven to help women overcome similar challenges, to reclaim menstruation and womb rights… and to advocate for better research into women’s health in general.”
*I am keen to connect with like-minded educators and collaborations - so please reach out if this is you!
