At Herbs on the Hill, we understand that abiding by naturopathic advice can be easier said than done. Everyday activities such as work, study and socialising can detract the best of intentions quite easily.

Our approach to naturopathy and herbal medicine takes this into account. Our treatment plans are realistic, with all herbal medicine, vitamin, mineral and diet prescriptions carefully selected to be manageable and effective.

With a Registered Nurse background, I have been in private practice as a Naturopath since 1992. Over this time, I have developed a passion for Herbs and their wonderful healing and regenerative qualities, particularly in the last 10 years in relation to Anxiety and Depression. Herbal Medicine is ideal for treating many common health problems. These include chronic disorders such as arthritis, asthma, skin disorders and digestive problems which usually respond well. One of the greatest strengths of herbal medicine is the way it can improve the functioning of the immune system and nervous system – extremely important given the demands of our modern lives.

Jess Raffaele

I’m a naturopath, a massive health nerd, a lifelong question-asker and someone who genuinely loves figuring out why people feel the way they do. My path to naturopathy wasn't really about wanting to work in “wellness”. It was about wanting to understand health. I'm fascinated by physiology. I love pathology. I love herbal medicine. I love nutrition. I love research. And I really love the moment when seemingly unrelated pieces of someone's health history start connecting. I'm the person who wants to know why.

Tina is one of our Senior Naturopaths and Clinical Nutritionists, bringing almost 20 years of clinical experience supporting people with a wide range of health presentations. Tina takes an integrative, evidence-informed approach to healthcare and enjoys working collaboratively with patients to understand the factors contributing to their wellbeing.

My journey with herbal medicine began over a decade ago through my own fertility journey. Over the years, my love for herbal medicine has only grown. The herbs I work with have become like old friends, each with their own story and evidence-based magic to offer. I love learning their language and understanding how we can work alongside them to support the body, rather than simply silence its messages.

Bitters – for a great cat’s bottom face

We sure know that the herbs we prescribed are an acquired taste (cats bottom face anyone?), but sometimes behind the taste is amazing activity. This is particularly the case with our bitter herbs. Bitters receptors are found throughout the body not just the gastrointestinal tract, but the respiratory system, cardiovascular system and even our nervous…

Reflux – it is not what you think

Reflux is remarkably common, and the cause is probably not what you think. GORD (Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) simply put, is a condition that develops when stomach acid ends up in the wrong place.1,2 We know acid burns, so the logical thing is to take an antacid, However, what if we told you, that is just…
