We are a natural therapies clinic located in the heart of Glen Innes, servicing the New England region. We use an integrative holistic health model to support a range of chronic health conditions. Alongside diet and lifestyle advice, naturopathy seeks to improve the tone, function and vigour of body systems and tissues to enhance well being. Combining the latest evidence based treatments with traditional knowledge, we work as a detective to identify contributing factors and underlying causes of imbalance. Holistic health assessments, treatment plans, testing referrals and herbal medicine prescriptions are included with a naturopathic consultation.

Jean Martain, founder and practitioner of Highlands Naturopathy, is an accredited naturopath with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. Jean graduated with a Bachelor of Health and Science in naturopathy in 2016 winning the Australian Natural Therapists Association student bursary award for her literature review on the use of supplemental zinc in adult males with depression. Jean is currently undertaking a graduate diploma in psychology at the University of New England and with an interest in mental health and women's health. She is trained in all areas of general naturopathic practice, and also ran a private practice in Sydney before relocating to Glen Innes to enjoy country life with her dogs, but continues to travel to Sydney each month for her Sydney clinic.

Highlands Naturopathy stands out amongst the crowd for our minimalist approach. They believe that diet and lifestyle factors are the key foundations for long lasting health and prescribe natural medicines minimally. Their approach is to test rather than guess to target treatments and Jean takes her time with every patient to ensure no stone is left uncovered.This approach ensures that the service is practical and affordable, and avoids masking symptoms without identifying underlying drivers of illness. With a passion for integrated care, all patients are provided with an in-depth health summary letter for their GP to ensure everyone is in the loop and we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach.
