Dr Kathleen, a renowned functional medicine naturopath started the Dr Kathleen and Team practice over a decade ago in New Zealand. In the last few years, she expanded the practice to offer remote naturopathic consultations, nutrition consultations and online pilates worldwide. In February 2023, Chantel Ryan, Australian Naturopath and Holistic Health Coach joined the practice, offering functional testing and naturopathic consultations. In 2024, Kathleen decided to step away from consulting to focus on her other interests which include autism advocacy, promoting her book U Don’t Seem Autistic, and working alongside her husband in his insurance business.

Kathleen is thrilled to announce that as of 30th April 2024, Chantel took ownership of the practice, rebranding as ‘The Minimalist Naturopath’. This name embodies Chantel’s vision to simplify our clients’ journey to better health, by identifying root causes of their health concerns, and prescribing only what is needed to heal and thrive. Chantel will be providing the same services, including cutting-edge functional testing, naturopathic consultations, nutritional consultations and online movement/pilates, yoga. Her approach to health and wellness remains rooted in natural, holistic principles, emphasising the power of nature to support your body’s innate healing abilities.
Continuity of care is paramount to both Chantel and Dr Kathleen and as such Dr Kathleen will be staying on board as a consultant and mentor at Minimalist Naturopath. If you are already a client at Dr Kathleen & Team, your care will continue under Chantel. Rest assured we are dedicated to providing a seamless transition for current clients and welcome all new clients who have found their way here. We look forward to continuing to partner with you and guide you towards a life of vibrant health and wellness.
