KAREN McELROY BA,BHSc (Nat)

NATUROPATH AND MEDICAL HERBALIST

Born in Sydney and raised in rural NSW, Karen’s love for nature and her connection to plants and herbs started at a young age as she busily created her own lotions and potions as a child. After moving to Noosa as a teenager and completing a degree in Journalism at University of Queensland, Karen’s interest in natural health returned, moving to Melbourne to study Naturopathy. After completing her degree, Karen worked at one of Melbourne’s busiest women’s health clinics in Fairfield where her passion for women’s health was founded. After having a family of her own, Karen moved back to the beautiful Sunshine Coast where she currently lives and practices, close to nature, doing what she loves.

As a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, Karen specialises in women and children’s health. Over the past 18 years, Karen has helped many hundreds of women and their families transform their health through her personalised, practical and expert health care solutions.  Karen’s life-long passion for natural health, complemented by further training and professional development in areas such as yoga teaching, meditation, Anthroposophic Medicine and Quantum Emotional Healing, has meant that Karen has developed a holistic mind and body wellness approach that has healed and transformed the health of countless families and lives.

Today, Karen loves to share her wealth of knowledge through various channels; through her private practice in Noosa; as a sought after public and professional speaker; as a professional writer in both print and online media; as a presenter at workshops and seminars; and as a lecturer at leading Educational Institutes across Australia.

Karen is a full member of the National Herbalist’s Association of Australia, the Australian Anthroposphic Medicine Association and the Weston A Price Foundation.
