Bronwyn Gooden

After a varied career in both private and public sectors, Bronwyn made the decision to follow her passion and move into a naturopathic career. Studying a BHSc Naturopathy provided her up to date clinical knowledge which, combined with traditional teachings, allow for effective, holistic patient care. Treating every patient as an individual is integral to Bronwyn’s naturopathic treatment, and her calm and gentle nature adds value to her patient’s experience and facilitates the healing environment.

Passionate about helping people achieve their best version of themselves, Bronwyn has always been drawn towards natural medicine and supporting the body and mind to function optimally. Her love of research supports this and allows for the latest clinical findings to form part of patient treatment plans.

Her love of plants and nature also fuels the herbal fires; creating individualized herbal formulations for patients is one of her greatest joys. As a mother herself, Bronwyn understands the demands of being a parent and she also has a personal connection with women’s health and hormonal issues, having experienced a number of health challenges along the way.
