Hi, I’m Shona

Hi, I’m Shona, Clinical Naturopath and founder of Sage Health Studio.

I’ve been in private practice as a Naturopath for over 15 years, first in Sydney and then on the NSW Far South Coast and in Canberra.

Clinical Focus Areas:

• Gut and Digestive Health
• Women’s Hormonal and Reproductive Health
• Stress, Fatigue and Nervous System Health
• Thyroid and Metabolic Health
• Weight Management
• Immune, Allergy and Inflammatory Health
• Cardiovascular and Healthy Ageing
• Men’s Health

With over 15 years experience in naturopathy and evidence-based complementary medicine, I am passionate about guiding you to achieve your health goals, optimise your wellbeing and live life to the fullest.

I take a comprehensive approach to your health, looking beyond presenting symptoms to explore the underlying factors contributing to your concerns. Through a detailed consultation and, where appropriate, referral for additional pathology or functional testing, I build a clear picture of your individual health needs. Your naturopathic treatment plan is then tailored to your health, lifestyle and goals, with practical recommendations designed to fit into everyday life.

Prevention, education and personalised care are at the heart of my approach. I believe that understanding your health is one of the most powerful tools for improving it. I take the time to explain what may be contributing to your symptoms, answer your questions and provide you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your health.

I value collaborative healthcare and, where appropriate, work alongside GPs, medical specialists and allied health professionals to support coordinated and comprehensive care.

Whether you’re looking to address a specific health concern or invest in your long-term wellbeing, I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards better health.

I relocated to the beautiful Sapphire Coast after many years living and working in Canberra and regional NSW. Since graduating and completing requirements to qualify as a Clinical Psychologist I have mainly worked in private practice but I also have experience working for government agencies including the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Centrelink, and TAFE NSW. My aim is to provide comprehensive and compassionate mental health care – a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach ensuring that clients feel heard, supported, and respected. I provide an evidence-based approach to therapy based on proven techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for clients, while also tailoring treatment modalities to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with AHPRA, a Member of the Australian Psychological Society, and a provider of Medicare Clinical Psychology and DVA services. Areas that particularly interest me are working with adults with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and anxiety disorders, working with older adults, and the treatment of grief, anger, substance use problems, life transitions (such as divorce and retirement), and depression. I am also a Registered Supervisor. I use a practical, individualised approach based on collaboration, utilising evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Schema Therapy and basic counselling skills. Most of my clients are referred by their GPs with a Mental Health Care Plan, referred by insurance agents, or referred through the veterans counselling service, Open Arms.
