Katie Holden

DipCNM, rGNC, ANP, HerbalAlliance

Katie is a professional naturopath and herbalist with a qualification in herbal medicine from the College of Naturopathic Medicine. She supports a wide range of health conditions, though her special interest is postpartum health.

After having five daughters, and with more than a decade of personal experience to draw upon, she came to the wellness space with a passion to provide truly nourishing perinatal care that empowers women to feel their limitless worth.  

Each new mum is unique and has individual needs. Whether she has become a mother for the first or the tenth time, special attention to this phase is crucial to her full recovery from pregnancy and childbirth, and the wellbeing of her infant is contingent upon this process. The conventional 6-week postpartum review is shockingly brief and focuses on quick physical exams and standardised advice - the pressure to get ‘back to normal’.

In her herbal practice, Katie offers mothers a comprehensive wellness assessment, the opportunity to debrief the birth, troubleshooting feeding and milk issues, and precision prescriptions tailored to her client’s constitution, needs, and health goals. She blends Western and Eastern assessment, and counselling skills she learnt under mentorship with a psychiatrist.

Katie sees perinatal mothers to support:

 • Digestion (heartburn, nausea, constipation, loose stools, dysbiosis, IBS, leaky gut)

 • Skin (itchiness, dry, cracked, sore, stretch marks, oedema, eczema)

 • Sleep (restless legs, insomnia, light sleeping, discomfort, nightmares)

 • Energy (maternal depletion, deficiency, anaemia, brain fog, adrenal and thyroid support)

 • Mood (anxiety, irritability, ‘baby blues’, stress relief, mood swings, traumatic birth)

 • Early physical recovery (afterpains, perineum healing, lochia & uterine health, lactation, breast health & mastitis)

 • Immunity (allergies, UTIs, general infections, autoimmunity)

 • Baby (cradle cap, colic, yeast infection, nappy rash, teething, conjunctivitis, eczema, skin rash)
