Hi! I’m Kristen, the owner of Balanced Pathways.

I’ve always been fascinated by the brain and how food can impact mental health. The same fascination that everyday plants can be used as medicine led me to study two degrees; one in nutrition and one in naturopathy. I am a member of the Australian Natural Therapies Association, and have worked with clients of all ages with various health complaints, providing me with experience and knowledge in a number of areas.

I have a special interest in addiction and recovery support including PAWS, and treat clients in all stages of addiction. I’m passionate about all things mental and metabolic health, particularly anxiety, burn out, liver health, cholesterol management and weight management alongside GLP-1 medications.

Throughout my life, I’ve personally struggled with my own health challenges from anxiety, depression, complete burn out, painful periods and ADHD management. These experiences have shaped how I work- with patience and without judgement. I know how frustrating it is to not feel quite like yourself, or feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.

I believe improving your health doesn’t have to mean changing everything overnight. I have a no BS, realistic approach to healthcare- meeting you where you are and finding what feels achievable for your life.

I genuinely care for each one of my clients and feel rewarded when I see them gain confidence & empowerment in their body.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin, you just need to take the first step.
