Holly Thompson
Well Naturopathy is a clinical naturopathy and herbal medicine practice providing personalised, evidence-informed healthcare across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, as well as Australia-wide via Telehealth.
Led by Holly Thompson, BHSc (Naturopathy), Clinical Naturopath and Medicinal Herbalist, the practice takes an integrative approach to health, combining clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle medicine and functional testing where appropriate.
Well Naturopathy has a particular focus on women’s gut health and the interconnected areas of hormonal, metabolic and nervous-system health. Clinical care may support people experiencing digestive concerns, fatigue, stress, hormonal changes, thyroid concerns, immune dysfunction, weight and metabolic challenges, and complex or persistent health concerns.
Rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation, Holly takes time to understand each patient's health history, diet, lifestyle, pathology, medications and individual health goals. This information is used to develop a practical and personalised treatment plan that may incorporate:
• Clinical nutrition and therapeutic dietary strategies
• Individualised herbal medicine
• Evidence-informed nutritional supplementation
• Functional and pathology testing where clinically appropriate
• Gut and microbiome support
• Hormonal and metabolic health strategies
• Stress, sleep and nervous-system support
• Lifestyle and behavioural strategies
• Collaboration and referral to GPs, specialists and allied health practitioners where appropriate
Areas of Clinical Focus
Women's Health & Hormones
Support across different stages of women's health, including menstrual and hormonal concerns, PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, alongside investigation of contributing nutritional, metabolic, digestive and lifestyle factors.
Gut & Digestive Health
Individualised assessment of digestive symptoms and gut health, with nutrition, lifestyle, microbiome and functional testing strategies used where appropriate.
Weight & Metabolic Health
A sustainable approach to metabolic health that considers nutrition, blood glucose regulation, hormones, sleep, stress, movement and individual metabolic requirements rather than relying solely on restrictive dieting.
Stress, Fatigue & Nervous-System Health
Nutrition, herbal medicine and lifestyle strategies may be incorporated to support resilience, sleep, energy and the physiological effects of ongoing stress.
Immune & General Health
Individualised naturopathic care to support nutritional status, immune health, recovery and overall wellbeing.
Children & Adolescents
Age-appropriate naturopathic care with a strong emphasis on nutrition, digestive health, skin, immune health and establishing sustainable healthy habits.
A Collaborative Approach to Healthcare
Well Naturopathy is designed to complement conventional healthcare rather than replace it. Where appropriate, Holly works alongside GPs, specialists and allied health practitioners and considers existing pathology, diagnoses, medications and medical treatment when developing naturopathic recommendations.
The aim is to provide patients with a clear understanding of their health and a realistic treatment strategy they can incorporate into everyday life.
Consultations are available in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and via Telehealth, with a complimentary 10-minute discovery call available for new patients wanting to determine whether naturopathic care is appropriate for them.
