Welcome
I'm so glad you're here
The Neurodivergent Naturopath offers gentle, evidence informed naturopathic support for neurodivergent women, children, and families. This includes support for hormones, gut health, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system regulation.
I work with autistic children, ADHDers, and kids with ARFID and sensory challenges, always taking an approach that respects each person’s individual needs and capacity.
NeuroThrive is my counselling space for children and teens. It offers neuroaffirming, play based therapy, along with animal assisted support, to help young people feel safer, calmer, and more confident as they build emotional and life skills.

Are you a Naturopath, Herbalist or Nutritionist & looking for mentoring?
Sarah offers mentoring for naturopaths & nutritionists who want support to grow their clinical confidence, refine their case-taking, and develop a more neuro affirming, nervous-system-aware approach to practice.
My mentoring is especially suited to practitioners working with ADHD, autism, burnout, gut health, hormones, feeding challenges, complex families, and clients who do not fit neatly into textbook presentations. Together, we can explore clinical reasoning, treatment planning, practitioner boundaries, communication, accessibility, and the very real emotional load of being a caring clinician in private practice.
This isn't about perfection, hierarchy, or pretending there is one “right” way to practise. It is about helping you think more clearly, trust your clinical process, and build a practice that feels sustainable for both you and your patients.
Mentoring may include support with:
-
Neuroaffirming clinical approaches
-
ADHD, autism and nervous system-informed care
-
Gut, nervous system & burnout presentations
-
Complex case discussion
-
Treatment planning and prioritisation
-
Practitioner confidence and imposter feelings
-
Patient communication and accessibility
-
Boundaries, capacity and sustainable practice
Whether you are newly qualified, returning to practice, or wanting to deepen your work with neurodivergent clients and families, mentoring offers a space to slow down, untangle the clinical spaghetti, and feel less alone in your work.
Mentoring is available online for qualified naturopaths and nutritionists.
