What is Herbalism?
The History of Herbalism
Herbal medicine is humanity’s oldest form of healing, with records dating back 5000 years to the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia. The Ancient Egyptians later documented over 700 remedies in the Ebers Papyrus (1550 BC), many of which—like garlic for digestion, mint for nausea, and honey for its antibacterial properties—are still supported by modern scientific research.
Today, herbal medicine remains the most widely used system of medicine globally. It may assist in treating and preventing disease, promoting health, and enhancing quality of life.
Why Choose Herbalism
Herbs contain active compounds that can offer therapeutic benefits for people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. However, improper use, interactions with medications, or substandard products can pose risks. To ensure safety and effectiveness, always consult a qualified naturopath or herbalist before using herbal remedies.
What Are The Types of Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine can be dispensed as herbal extracts, powdered herbs or as capsules/tablets. Herbal extracts is one of the most popular ways which herbalists use the medicine. It involves the plant matter being soaked in a form of alcohol, the alcohol extracts the phytochemicals and constituents from the plant and acts as a preservative, it is then turned into a tincture. Tinctures of various herbs can be blended together to help address your individual needs.
Can Herbal Extracts be Made Without Alcohol?
Yes. There are also alcohol-free versions of herbal extracts for certain plants, which may be preferred for those who are wishing to avoid all forms of alcohol.
Skye is a herbalist on the Gold Coast, with consulting rooms in Southern Gold Coast and northern NSW. Skye is also available for home visits and online consults, for those who are unable to travel.
Flower Essences
What are flower essences?
Flower essences are a form of energetic medicine used for centuries by cultures connected to the land. Made by infusing flowers in water under sunlight, the plant’s essence is captured and stabilised with a small amount of alcohol.
How are flower essences used for?
Flower essences support emotional well-being, helping to ease stress, anxiety, irritability, fear, and heartbreak. They can enhance confidence, libido, intuition, focus, and creativity, while aiding in releasing unhelpful thoughts or beliefs. Suitable for animals, children, and family dynamics, they are particularly beneficial during life transitions like pregnancy, school changes, or divorce.
What Happens During a Flower Essence Session?
In a consultation, we collaborate to create a personalised blend tailored to your needs. Depending on your circumstances, multiple essences may be used over time to address deeper layers of emotional healing.
Nutrition
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” – Hippocrates
A statement that many Naturopaths and Nutritionists practice. As significant as this message is, it shouldn’t disregard the importance of medication for people experiencing serious and chronic health conditions. Although, optimal nutrition is still highly important for these people.
What is the Importance of Nutrition?
Nutrients are essential elements with different and unique biochemical reactions and functions within the body. Impaired digestive function, lack of adequate nutrition or an excess of nutrient void food is strongly associated to many health conditions.
There is a substantial amount of scientific literature and traditional knowledge which shows deficiencies or excesses in certain macronutrients, vitamins and minerals can lead to ill health. For example, vitamin C deficiency and its association with scurvy, iodine deficiency in pregnant women leading to impaired brain development of the foetus, excessive sodium associated with hypertension.
Should I See a Naturopath or Nutritionist?
Qualified Naturopaths are highly trained in nutritional medicine. During a holistic Naturopathic consult, there is a strong focus looking into the person’s symptoms, their circumstances, their diet, and their history. Dietary monitoring may be required and recommendations may be given. Skye aims to work with her clients at their level, she realises that some people aren’t ready for a complete diet overhaul. Sometimes the smallest change can have the most profound impact.
It is also important to know that specific long term medication can lead to a deficiency in certain nutrients in which supplementation is required to help replenish stores. This is something that both Naturopaths, Nutritionists, and Dietitians may be able to help the client address.
Lifestyle Counselling
The internet provides a wealth of information available at your fingertips, however the information and advice you find online may not always be the best advice for your specific needs as it doesn’t take your individual circumstances into consideration.
Naturopaths provide lifestyle counselling that is suited to your individualistic needs, it is aimed to educate and empower individuals and is based around who you are, what you are wanting to achieve and where you’re at in the readiness to change model.

Why food alone may not be enough? How do supplements work?
Although a healthy diet is very important for overall health, most diets are lacking in important nutrients.
Mainstream agricultural practices designed to mass produce food have led to soil with little nutrient value as well as high levels of herbicide and pesticide spray on the food we eat.
And although synthetic vitamins and minerals are being added to food, this is often in inadequate cheap forms and may not be enough to address nutrient deficiencies.
Do you offer Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
Yes, I also offer a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Package for $500, which includes:
-
Initial consult – 75 minute comprehensive consult
-
Hair mineral test provided at the initial consult (valued at $198)

Follow up consult – 60 minutes (when the HTMA results are back, approx 3 weeks after the initial consult)
-
A detailed individualised treatment plan
What if I need additional follow-ups?
Follow-up sessions beyond the package can be scheduled at 45 minutes for $140 or 60 minutes for $150.
Why self-prescribing can be dangerous?
Although Naturopaths aim to empower and educate individuals to take charge of their own health, we don’t recommend self-prescribing nutrient supplementations for the majority.
The reason for this is there is so much information to be found online, this leads to confusion amongst many people of what they should be having and how much. Self-prescribing may lead to under-dosing or overdosing specific nutrients which can cause harm.
Or you may be having an inferior over the counter product which is in a different form to what is preferred by practitioners.
How are flower essences different from herbal medicine and homeopathic medicine?
Flower essences are a gentle energetic form of medicine. Rather than herbal medicine which has extracted the active constituents and phytochemicals of the plant, flower essences capture the energetic and vibrational properties of the flower.
Unlike homeopathy which is a diluted and potentized form of energetic medicine with remedies made from plants, minerals, and animals, flower essences are safe without the chance of causing an aggravation if the wrong remedy is chosen.
