Meet Robyn Thompson
Natural Health Specialist
I am a Naturopathic Practitioner, Herbalist and Homeopath with more than 40 years of experience. My practice combines homeopathic and herbal medicines with any other supplements a client may need, always with a focus on mind, body and spirit. In face-to-face appointments I use Blood Analysis, along with Mineral Analysis (Oligoscan) where required. Since 2024 I have also been able to bring my love of horses into my work by adding Equine Therapy to my practice.
My journey began at 17, when I started a Chemistry degree at Monash University. After graduating, I spent five years living in London and working as a Research Chemist.
It was in England that I developed a passion for herbal medicine. On returning to Australia, I studied under the esteemed herbalist Dorothy Hall in Sydney and earned a three-year Herbal Diploma, then completed a further four years of Homeopathy studies in Melbourne. Along the way I trained in several other modalities, including Flower Essence Therapy, Advanced Iridology and Blood Analysis. I also became a Natural Fertility Consultant and completed a Bachelor of Health Science in Complementary Medicine.
I practised for seven years alongside Ruth Trickey in Clifton Hill before establishing my own practices in Caulfield and Malvern. In 2000 I founded the iconic Botanica Medicines in Malvern, which I sold in 2020 when I moved out of the city to Torquay.
In Torquay I have a full dispensary and an office for Telehealth appointments. Face-to-face appointments take place nearby at the Yoga Farm in Mount Duneed, a lovely clinic that is also home to the horses and where we practise Equine Therapy.
I treat every person as completely unique and tailor each treatment to their specific needs. I take pride in supporting my clients through their health journeys, always considering the whole person. My areas of focus include fertility and preconception care, cancer support (working with an oncologist), gut health, women's and men's health, and stress-related conditions.
I am deeply passionate about health, the environment and our beautiful animal kingdom, and I am always looking for new ways to help my clients reach their full health potential.
What do I do?
What type of conditions am I able to help you with?
Gut Health/IMMUNITY
It's an understatement to say 'It's all about the gut" because it REALLY IS ALL ABOUT THE GUT! Most diseases and conditions can be related back to a disturbance in the microbiome and it can be helped with expert gut treatment. I have been treating gut problems for 35 years!
Fatigue

There is always a reason. Let's find out why and you get back to optimal energy!

Conditions relating to any aspect of women's and men's health can be treated with herbs, homeopathic medicines and nutritional medicines. I have helped my clients with symptoms of insomnia, menopause, andropause, anxiety, depression, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, thyroid problems, and many other issues. My focus is on a dietary approach with appropriate herbs to balance, detoxify and strengthen your body,
