Naturopath & Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in Canberra
A thoughtful, individualised approach to wellbeing - bringing together naturopathy and Somatic Experiencing®.
Support for stress, overwhelm, burnout, wellbeing and feeling more connected to yourself and your body. With respect and care for your whole being.
Naturopathic and Somatic Experiencing® Consultations in Griffith, Canberra's Inner South Manuka precinct, and online throughout Australia.
This practice supports body-mind healing with a truly holistic approach, caring for how you feel and biological balance.
My practice brings together two main areas of professional work. You may come specifically for naturopathic support, you may also be curious about Somatic Experiencing®.
Naturopathy
Individualised naturopathic consultations that consider your health, nutrition, lifestyle and the wider context of your life.
Depending on what you're wanting support with, naturopathy may include nutritional guidance, herbal medicine, lifestyle approaches and other naturopathic considerations.
Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented approach developed by Dr Peter Levine that brings attention to your present-moment bodily experience.
Sessions are gentle, collaborative and guided at your own pace, with curiosity about what you notice and feel within your body.

Hi, I'm Dianna
I'm a degree-qualified naturopath and herbalist and a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, with more than two decades of experience in natural medicine and wellbeing.
Over the years, I've explored a range of approaches to understanding the relationship between the body, mind and our lived experience. Somatic Experiencing® became an important part of this journey because of its attention to the felt experience of being in a body.
Today, my work brings these two fields together.
I offer a space where we can slow down, listen carefully and become curious about your individual experience — rather than approaching wellbeing as something that needs to be fixed or managed in exactly the same way for everyone.
I support people to move through that feeling of something isn’t quite right, the inner chaos, confusion about what’s wrong, why and what to do; hormonal imbalances, tiredness, overwhelm, stress and reactivity; to seek out the causes and support them to feel whole, healthy and calm.
I work with people who are tired, burnt out, overwhelmed, stressed, have hormone imbalances, PMS, endometriosis, IBS, post-natal depletion and all the ways in which their body is telling them something is not right. You are coping on the outside but feel constantly overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or disconnected on the inside.
I want you to feel better and to be healthy, so that you can experience an excellent quality of life as you go on in this body for as long as possible. So that you can have the energy and will to live your life every day on purpose, to live out what you are here to do. To not retreat into your cave because you feel unmotivated, depressed or just too tired or overwhelmed.
“Most psychologists treat the mind as disembodied, a phenomenon with little or no connection to the physical body. Conversely most physicians treat the body with no regard to the mind or the emotions. But the body and mind are not separate, and we cannot treat one without the other.”
Dr. Candace Pert
What makes this practice unique is the extensive training that I have undergone to be able to support mind-body healing and to be able to offer you an approach to healing that is beyond standard naturopathy, yet still encompasses all of the benefits of traditional naturopathic care.

What Clients Say
LINDEN, BUILDER
"I had been suffering from a golden staph infection that manifested in large and painful boils for over 2 years. I had seen numerous GPs and specialists that weren’t able to help me with their various antibiotics. As a builder this made work very difficult and socially it was tough as no-one understood why I wasn’t feeling well enough to go out on the weekends."
My life changed while working with Dianna. She is the only one that took the time to teach me why the boils were recurring and gave me the advice and tools that have not only cleared my boils, but rejuvenated my energy levels, confidence and positive attitude towards my health."*
PAULINE, HR MANAGER
““Before I came to see Dianna I was experiencing severe PMS symptoms. Now I am 100% better, the PMS symptoms have disappeared and now I have more energy than I did in my 20’s, my sleep has improved and now have a more positive outlook on life which has enhanced my relationships.
Dianna is passionate about what she does, she took the time and care to diagnose and treat my complaint. After many years of visiting western doctors who could only recommend a hysterectomy as treatment [for PMS], it was a breath of fresh air to meet someone like Dianna who really cared and treated me like a person.”*
LORETTA, GRAPHIC ARTIST
"Before I came to see Dianna, my energy levels were very low and unpredictable due to an underactive thyroid. I was experiencing constant headaches and migraines as well as nausea. I had been experiencing these symptoms for well over a year. This was affecting my work and family life.
Dianna helped me to solve these problems with her holistic approach. Now my energy levels are so much better, I feel healthier and happier. I’m able to do so much more because I don’t experience the nausea headaches and exhaustion any more. Before treatment with Dianna my energy levels were 2 out of 10 and after treatment with Dianna my energy levels are 8 out of 10.
I started gradually feeling better after about 2-3 weeks of working with Dianna. It has been about 6 weeks since I began consulting Dianna now and I am feeling consistently better.
Dianna has been so fantastic. We discussed my goals and she gave me a plan to achieve them and guided me through each step. She was able to answer all my questions and gave me lots of information in order to reach my goals. I would be happy to recommend Dianna to anyone who would like to improve their overall health."*
