Welcome, I'm Katrina

I'm Katrina Froome, a degree-qualified Naturopath, Herbalist and Nutritionist with over 12 years of clinical experience.

My clinical work has a strong focus on Gut Health, IBS and SIBO, alongside Women's Health and hormonal changes, anxiety and stress, exhaustion, thyroid and metabolic health, nervous system wellbeing and complex or ongoing health concerns.

My approach is personalised, practical and evidence-informed.

Rather than looking at one symptom in isolation, I look at your health history, nutrition, digestion, lifestyle, stress, sleep, medications, pathology and other factors that may be contributing to the bigger picture.

DISCOVER MY APPROACH 


Looking Beyond Symptoms

Your health is more than one symptom — and naturopathic care shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.

Digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition, nutrient status, metabolic health and the nervous system can all influence how you feel.

That's why I take the time to understand your whole health picture rather than simply treating each symptom separately.

Treatment may include nutrition, herbal medicine, targeted supplementation, functional testing and practical lifestyle strategies — but you won't automatically be given a restrictive diet, a long list of supplements or testing simply for the sake of testing.

We'll work together to decide what is appropriate, achievable and useful for you.

Functional Testing

Looking a Little Deeper

Many of my clients come to me because they've been experiencing ongoing symptoms and want greater clarity around why they don't feel well.

Functional testing can sometimes provide valuable additional information, establish a useful baseline and help take some of the guesswork out of treatment.

Depending on your individual health concerns, testing may include:

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) • Microbiome Testing • SIBO Breath Testing • FoodFit Testing

Testing is always optional.

If I believe a particular test may be useful, we'll discuss what we're looking for, why I'm recommending it, the cost involved and how the results may influence your treatment before you decide whether you'd like to proceed.

VIEW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A Gentle, Practical Approach

I believe your treatment plan should support your life — not take it over.

Food should nourish you, not make you afraid to eat.

Supplements should be targeted rather than endless.

Testing should answer a useful clinical question.

And you should understand why something is being recommended rather than simply being told what to do.

Your care is collaborative, and your treatment can change as your health changes.

I also work alongside GPs, specialists and other healthcare practitioners where appropriate because naturopathic care doesn't need to be either/or.

What my patients and clients say

I met Katrina at a networking group and straight away thought, “you get it.” She’s now not only my naturopath but also a dear friend and a trusted part of my wellbeing support crew.

I see her for both naturopathy and balances — because I’ve learned the power of tuning into my body before it starts shouting for attention. Her approach is gentle, safe, and works with real life — no overwhelm, just real support.

My wellbeing is my greatest wealth, and choosing to invest in myself is part of living my Rebellicious® Life. I’m so grateful to have Katrina walking beside me on that path — with care, presence, and heart.

I highly recommend Katrina if you’re looking for someone who brings soul, support, and real care to your health and wellbeing.

“I had spent so much money over the previous 12 to 18 months trying to find answers for my digestive issues and abdominal pain. I had become a real Google warrior, constantly searching for answers and trying to work out what was causing all of my discomfort.

At the time, I was living overseas and would only be back home every few months, so finding someone who could help me get to the bottom of what was going on was really important to me.

I found Katrina through the SIBO Test Australia website and contacted her with my concerns. We were able to organise my SIBO Breath Test straight away, and during my consultation, Katrina helped me explore what I had been wondering for so long, "Could SIBO be contributing to my pain and digestive symptoms?"

My results came back positive for SIBO, and finally having an answer gave me a clear direction for moving forward. Katrina guided me through my treatment both in person and online, which made everything so much easier while I was living overseas and travelling home periodically.

Katrina supported me throughout my healing journey and, by the time I was around three-quarters of the way through my treatment, I was pain-free and so many of the symptoms that had been affecting my life had become a thing of the past.

I’m so grateful to finally have answers and to have had someone guide me through the process. Having that ongoing support, whether I was at home or overseas, made such a difference.”

Maddison

“I started working with Katrina after struggling with post-viral symptoms, chronic fatigue and IBS, including ongoing diarrhoea. I had been feeling exhausted and frustrated by how long I had been dealing with these issues and wanted to understand what was happening in my body rather than simply managing my symptoms.

As part of my treatment plan, Katrina recommended both Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and Microbiome Testing. The HTMA gave us an overview of my mineral patterns and highlighted areas where my body needed additional support, while the Microbiome Test gave us a much deeper understanding of what was happening within my gut.

My Microbiome Test identified Dientamoeba fragilis, along with other gut imbalances, which gave us another important piece of the puzzle and helped Katrina tailor my treatment specifically to my needs.

Having both tests allowed Katrina to look at the bigger picture - my gut health, mineral balance, nutrition and overall wellbeing - rather than simply treating my individual symptoms.

Since starting my treatment, I’m feeling more energised and motivated, and my IBS and diarrhoea have significantly improved. I finally feel like I’m making progress and have a much clearer understanding of what my body needs.

I’m really grateful to have Katrina guiding me through the process and helping me piece together the bigger picture.”

Natalie

“I had struggled with chronic constipation for more than 10 years and couldn’t remember the last time I had a regular, daily bowel movement. I had just accepted that this was something I had to live with.

I was also under a lot of stress, and I knew that my digestion seemed to be worse when life was particularly busy, but I didn’t realise just how much the two could be connected.

When I started working with Katrina, she didn’t just focus on the constipation itself. She wanted to understand what was happening in my gut and why my symptoms had been going on for so long. We completed a Microbiome Test, which gave us a much clearer picture of what was happening in my digestive system and helped guide a much more personalised approach to my treatment.

Katrina worked with me on my diet, digestive health, stress and targeted supplements, adjusting my treatment as we went rather than simply giving me a generic constipation protocol.

The biggest change has been how much more regularly my bowels are now moving. After more than a decade of struggling, having a bowel movement every day has gone from something I thought was impossible for me to something that is becoming my new normal.

It has made such a difference to how I feel day-to-day, and I finally feel like we are getting to the underlying reasons for my digestive issues rather than just managing the symptoms.”

Tamara

“I am so happy to have found Katrina. I was struggling with so many perimenopausal symptoms and felt completely exhausted. Along with the usual hormonal rollercoaster, I was experiencing mood swings, increased anxiety, skin issues, histamine reactions and IBS symptoms, and I just didn’t feel like myself.

Katrina used Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to look at my mineral patterns and how my body was coping with the demands of perimenopause. It gave us a much clearer picture of what was happening and helped Katrina personalise my nutrition and supplementation rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We also worked on my diet and identified foods and products that weren’t supporting me through FoodFit – Hair Bio Compatibility Food and Product Testing. Katrina created some ‘delicious’ herbal remedies that supported my body as we worked on bringing things back into balance.

Over time, I noticed such a positive difference. My night sweats and hot flushes settled, I was sleeping much better, my energy improved and my memory felt clearer. My IBS symptoms, skin issues and histamine reactions also became much easier to manage, and I felt much more emotionally balanced.

What I appreciated most was feeling supported and understood throughout the whole process. Perimenopause can feel like such a hormonal rollercoaster, but with the right support, it doesn't have to be something we simply struggle through.

I’m now enjoying my transition into menopause and feeling much more confident in my body and this new stage of my life. I’m so grateful to have had Katrina beside me along the way.”

Catherine

I had my first Body Balance Kinesiology Treatment and felt so good afterwards! I had been feeling really stuck in my career and was struggling to decide whether I should reboot my business, as I really wanted to start working for myself again.

After my treatment, I felt like I had more clarity, motivation and energy to move forward. I finally tackled a few things in my business that I had been putting off for months, and it felt like I was moving forward again.

I also slept so well that night and the nights afterwards, which was amazing as sleep had been a huge problem for me in the past.

Marianne

“I came to Katrina in my mid-60s feeling completely exhausted and frustrated with my health. Even though I was well beyond the age when I expected to still be dealing with hormonal issues, I knew that something wasn’t quite right.

I had a hysterectomy in my mid-40s and over the years had experienced a range of symptoms including ongoing gut issues, constipation and bloating, unexplained weight gain and low energy. I often felt like my body was working against me, and I wasn’t sure where to start.

Katrina recommended Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as part of my assessment. It gave us a valuable insight into my mineral patterns and how my body was coping, helping Katrina look beyond my symptoms and develop a more personalised approach to my nutrition and supplementation.

We worked together on supporting my mineral balance, digestion, energy and overall wellbeing, with Katrina adjusting my plan as we went.

Gradually, I started to feel more like myself again. My energy improved, my digestion became more regular, and I felt less bloated. I also began to feel more comfortable in my body and more confident that I could support my health at this stage of my life.

What I appreciated most was that Katrina didn’t dismiss my symptoms because of my age. She listened, looked at the bigger picture and helped me understand that there is still so much we can do to support our bodies through the years after menopause.

I feel more energised, more balanced and much more hopeful about my health.”

Helena

“I came to Katrina in my early-50s during a time when I felt completely overwhelmed by the changes happening in my body. I was in perimenopause and experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear about what was happening and what the future might look like.

My digestive health had also become a real struggle. I was constantly fluctuating between constipation and diarrhoea, dealing with bloating and abdominal pain, and becoming increasingly fearful of food. My diet had become very restricted because I was worried about what I could and couldn’t eat without triggering my symptoms.

Katrina started by looking at the bigger picture rather than simply treating each symptom individually. My Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) gave us valuable insight into my mineral patterns and helped guide a personalised naturopathic treatment plan.

Over the following 12 months, I worked with Katrina through a combination of Naturopathy appointments and Body Balance Kinesiology treatments. Alternating between the two gave me support for both the physical side of my health and the emotional and nervous-system side of what I was experiencing.

The combination made such a difference. I became more confident in my body, my anxiety and fear began to settle, and I felt much better equipped to navigate perimenopause and the changes I was experiencing.

Although I had made significant improvements, I was still struggling with food fear, bloating, abdominal pain and constipation. Rather than simply accepting that these symptoms were something I had to live with, Katrina recommended Microbiome Testing so we could take a closer look at what was happening within my gut.

The Microbiome Test gave us another important piece of the puzzle and allowed Katrina to further personalise my treatment and address the underlying gut issues.

I have loved having the ability to work with Katrina both online and occasionally in person. Having that flexibility has meant I can continue my care around my life and schedule.

Looking back, I feel like I have come such a long way. I no longer feel like I have to be afraid of every symptom or every food, and I have a much greater understanding of my body and what it needs.

Having Katrina support me through Naturopathy, HTMA, Microbiome Testing and Body Balance Kinesiology has given me the confidence to move through this stage of my life feeling supported rather than scared of the unknown.

I now have regular monthly Body Balance Kinesiology Treatments and have my Naturopathy appointment every few months as I'm more confident with my body."
