Whole-body healing, rooted in nature, backed by science.
This is a space for people who are tired of quick fixes, strict protocols, and confusing advice. Whether you're navigating chronic gut symptoms or supporting others in practice, you're welcome here.
Our work centres on microbiome restoration, nervous system regulation, and ethical herbal medicine. Offering you grounded, evidence-based care that’s guided by relationship, not rules.
For many who land here, there’s a sense of exhalation. They’ve finally found someone that will listen
Maybe you’ve lived with food fear or years of symptoms no one’s been able to fully explain.
Maybe you’re a clinician holding complex cases without a clear path forward.
Maybe you’re just looking for care that feels both smart and safe.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Our offerings are designed to meet you gently, wherever you are on your healing or professional journey.
What I offer
-
1:1 Naturopathic Consultations
For people dealing with gut health challenges like SIBO, histamine intolerance, IBD, IBS, microbiome dysbiosis, or chronic food restriction.
Consults are individually tailored, evidence-informed, and designed to help you feel confident and supported.
-
Microbiome Discovery & Restore Program
A 12-week online group experience that blends microbiome testing with accessible education, recipes, resources and support.
Ideal for those looking to deepen their understanding and feel more empowered in their gut health journey - without going it alone.
-
Practitioner Mentoring
The SIBO & Microbiome Mentorship Series is a small-group space for clinicians who want guidance in treating complex gut cases.
This isn’t a textbook—it’s collaborative, generous mentoring rooted in real cases, safe prescribing, and ethical care.
-
The Microbiome Retreat
Held in Freycinet, Tasmania, this immersive 5-day retreat offers education, rest, nature, and nourishment.
It’s a space to slow down, rewild your inner ecosystem, and reconnect with food, self, and the land.
Care that’s clinically grounded and deeply human
I’m Chantel Yates, Naturopath, herbalist, and microbiome mentor with over 18 years of clinical experience.
I offer one-on-one consultations, mentoring for practitioners, small group programs, and an annual microbiome retreat here in Tasmania.
My work sits at the intersection of science and soul. Evidence-based, but never clinical in tone. Personal, but never prescriptive. Always grounded, always honest.
Together, we uncover the root causes, support your nervous system, and rebuild microbial resilience. Without overwhelm, extremes, or shortcuts.
Areas I have a special interest in:
-
Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth
-
Vaginal & Urinary Health
-
Microbiome
-
Leaky Gut
People often arrive here carrying a lot - years of symptoms, stories of dismissal, uncertainty around what’s next.
You’re not looking for hype.
You’re looking for clarity, honesty, and care that honours your story.
That’s what this space was built for.
Navigating Constipation.
YOUR FREE GUIDE TO BETTER DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Constipation is more common and more complex than most people realise. If you’ve ever felt confused about what’s “normal,” how often you should be going, or how to safely find relief without relying on laxatives, this guide is for you.
Navigating Constipation: Your Guide to Better Digestive Health is a free, practical resource to help you understand what your gut’s trying to tell you - without fear, shame, or confusion.
Inside, you'll learn:
What healthy stool patterns actually look like
Dietary tools for gentle, effective relief
The role of prebiotics, probiotics, and fibre
When to seek further support
Not Sure Where to Start?
That’s okay.
Many people begin with a question.
We’ve collected thoughtful answers to the ones we hear most often.
From “Do you work with SIBO?” to “How does mentoring actually feel?”
Clinical Mentoring with Room to Breathe
If you’re a practitioner, you already know this work can be lonely. Especially when you care deeply and think critically. You don’t need more theory. You need nuanced dialogue, grounded guidance, and a space to grow without performing.
This is mentoring that values integrity over ego.
Mentoring that respects your existing knowledge while expanding your confidence.
Read + Reflect
The blog offers deep dives, quiet clarity, and space for nuance. From SIBO complexity to rethinking restrictive food narratives, everything here is written to support your learning, not overload it.
