Hello…

And a very warm welcome to my vibrant corner of the world!  I’m Chantel, a qualified business lawyer and naturopath, driven by my dual passions for legal expertise and holistic wellness.

With two distinct businesses, I find fulfilment in helping individuals simplify their health journey, while also helping businesses reduce their legal risk.

With a deep commitment to empowering individuals to achieve optimal well-being, I offer telehealth consultations, functional testing and customised wellness plans through my online wellness clinic, The Minimalist Naturopath.

In addition to my work in natural health, I’m also a seasoned business lawyer specialising in assisting health practitioners with their legal needs. Through my legal business, Legally Healthy, I provide clarity and guidance to help health professionals in Australia and New Zealand navigate the legal aspects of their practice with confidence.

Whether you’re seeking support for your health journey or legal guidance for your practice, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

The Minimalist Naturopath

Where simplicity fuels holistic wellness. I started The Minimalist Naturopath because I wanted to cut through the clutter and health ‘noise’ rampant in the online community, to provide simple, clear, personalised, and actionable steps to my clients so they could heal and experience vibrant health. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to our clients’ unique needs, ensuring they receive the support and guidance they need to thrive.

Legally Healthy

Combining my legal expertise, with my knowledge of the health industry, I created Legally Healthy – a boutique legal firm that offers custom legal services, templates, and resources tailored specifically for health professionals. Whether you’re a practitioner starting a new practice or seeking legal guidance for a more established business, we can help you navigate the complexities of the legal landscape with ease.

Australian Traditional Medicine Society

I am honoured to serve as a Director and Vice President of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), the longest-running natural medicine association in Australia. Together with ATMS, I am committed to promoting excellence and integrity in the practice of traditional and complementary medicine and supporting practitioners in their endeavours.

A Glimpse into My Life

When I’m not immersed in the world of health and wellness, or helping practitioners with their legals, you can find me indulging in my favourite pastimes. From practicing yoga to taking leisurely walks in nature, I cherish moments of tranquility and connection with the world around me. I’m also an avid reader, a devoted family member and Mum, and a true crime aficionado. Balancing the demands of work and life can be a juggling act, but I embrace the journey with gratitude and a sense of adventure. While I  strive for balance, I usually settle for some form of workable chaos!
