Rowena Benbow Naturopathy

A long struggle with gut problems and PCOS plagued Rowena for a long time. The standard medical model saw her failing to improve her health; they prescribed medications that made her depressed and overweight.

Now a degree-certified Naturopath, she is passionate about educating women, especially new mums, about maximising their energy and hormones to achieve their best selves. 

Her expertise lies in developing individualised, long-term herbal and nutrition protocols, as well as lifestyle changes that provide the healing clients’ desire in relation to digestive, hormonal, autoimmune, thyroid, and other chronic and inflammatory disorders.

There is a lot of conflicting information available online in the health industry. Rowena combines the scientific backbone of her approach with clinical experience and a down-to-earth, real-life approach to ensure her clients attain and maintain long-term, optimal health. 

Rowena offers online consultations sessions across Australia.

Services Offered

Naturopathic Consultations

Rowena will send you an introductory questionnaire before your first consultation so that she can learn about you and plan your path to optimal health!

She combines the latest scientific research with traditional naturopathic philosophy backed up with the latest in functional medicine. A functional test entails examining more than just pathology markers, which show disease presence or absence, but also how the body functions and what pathways may need additional support.

Personalised vitamin, mineral, herbal, and lifestyle interventions are then included in the treatment plan based on the collected information.

Rowena uses these tests most frequently in her clinic, but there are endless options based on a patient’s specific presentation and budget:

• Microbiome mapping
• SIBO Breath test
• Comprehensive Hormone Panel - Dutch Test
• Comprehensive Thyroid Panel
• Cortisol Awakening Response / Adrenal Profile
• Organic Acids Test
• DNA Profile and MTHFR
• IgG Food Intolerance Testing

Testimonials from Previous Clients

“Rowena's expertise and guidance on women's health especially with PCOS and insulin resistance has helped navigate another stressful Covid induced year. I have seen many Nathropaths in the past and I am so glad I found Rowena who listens to my concerns and has prescribed the most appropriate nutrients to manage fluctuating health problems. Speaking with Rowena online has been really easy and flexible and she has helped me adjust my lifestyle that works for me and I know I can maintain going forward.” - Ashwini Lochan

“I wish to share my experience, as an 81 year old, from about the middle of 2020 to March 2021, in trying to cope with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, (IBS) and to reveal how this very great difficulty was overcome - completely, in a very short time, thanks to treatment by my Naturopath. After  many months, in 2020 and early 2021, of trying various scripts,  with no success, I began treatment on 12 March 2021, at the hands of Naturopath, Rowena Benbow. She brought me to a complete change in diet and placed me on a variety of supplements which I gladly embraced and followed her instructions to the letter. Without going into unnecessary detail, let it suffice for me to say that by 3 April 2021 the IBS had been overcome, much to my relief, and normalcy restored, thanks to Rowena Benbow.” - John Rochford
