I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Registered Nurse with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. My background spans both clinical and private practice settings, and I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to personalised nutrition care. I’m deeply passionate about the powerful role nutrition plays in our overall health and wellbeing — not just in preventing and managing chronic conditions, but also in supporting women through different stages of life. I love helping women understand and work with their bodies, whether they’re navigating hormonal changes, planning a family, or recovering postnatally. I also believe strongly in finding balance and enjoyment with food, without restriction or guilt. My areas of special interest include women’s health, fertility, family planning, preconception, pregnancy and postpartum care. I work with individuals and couples who are preparing for pregnancy, supporting the nutritional and lifestyle foundations that influence reproductive health and early development. I’m also the creator of the Fertility Foundations™ Method, a structured nutrition and lifestyle program designed to support the preconception window. The program focuses on strengthening the nutritional and metabolic foundations that support egg and sperm development, hormone signalling and the environment for early pregnancy. Alongside fertility care, I also support clients with chronic conditions such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I believe in meeting you where you are, and working together to create realistic, meaningful nutrition strategies that support your health and lifestyle.

I’m a Naturopath and GAPS Practitioner with over 22 years of experience, specialising in gut health and its impact on the rest of the body — particularly skin health, food intolerances, and immune function. My interest in digestive health grew out of my own experience. I lived with long-term fatigue and health issues that worsened after the birth of my son. I was eventually diagnosed with autoimmune low thyroid function, linked to increased intestinal permeability (commonly referred to as "leaky gut"). I now support my digestion as part of managing my health — a challenge that’s given me firsthand insight into how difficult dietary changes can be in real life. Because of this, I go beyond identifying the underlying cause in my clinical work. I provide practical support — including recipes and strategies for gut health while managing food sensitivities. I aim to make dietary changes feel realistic and sustainable. I hold a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine), an Advanced Diploma of Health Science (Naturopathy), a Diploma of Health in Nutrition, a Diploma of Health in Herbal Medicine and I am a certified GAPS practitioner. Alongside clinic work, I’ve worked in the health food industry and have provided education to pharmacy assistants, fellow practitioners, and the general public across Australia.

Hi, I’m Kirsten Sweeney, a qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and Educator with over 20 years of clinical experience helping people improve their health and feel their best. I’m passionate about helping men, women and teenagers better understand their bodies, get to the bottom of their health concerns and make positive, lasting changes to their wellbeing. I have a special interest in gut health, digestive disorders, weight management, metabolic health, fatigue, stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, menopause and healthy ageing. My approach is holistic, personalised and grounded in evidence informed natural healthcare. With a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy, a Master’s degree in Teaching and Education, and over a decade as a Senior Naturopath at one of Australia’s leading health retreats, I bring extensive clinical experience and a genuine passion for helping people take control of their health. I combine nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, targeted supplementation, functional testing where appropriate, lifestyle strategies, stress management and movement to develop personalised treatment plans. I look at the bigger picture, exploring how your gut, hormones, metabolism, nervous system, nutrition and lifestyle all connect, rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation. Having experienced my own health challenges, I understand how frustrating it can be when you don't feel like yourself or struggle to find answers. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and supported when it comes to their health. Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, stubborn weight gain, low energy, stress, hormonal changes or simply want to optimise your health and longevity, I'm here to help. I offer private naturopathic consultations on the Sunshine Coast and online across Australia and the world, providing practical advice, education and ongoing support tailored to your individual health goals.
