Tracie Lynn | Naturopathic Herbalist

My Story

I take a positive outlook. Let’s face it, what’s the alternative? Each day, as I witness my clients regain their energy and rediscover their joy, I become more inspired and positive about what life can offer. And I trust that my positivity radiates to everyone I treat.

My philosophy to treat naturally came about after going through continual rounds of antibiotics during my early twenties for sore throats, coughs, colds and flu. I was frustrated – I kept going to the doctor for help but I didn’t seem to be getting anywhere towards finding a sustainable solution to my health problems.

Then I found myself managing a natural therapy centre called Zen in Darlinghurst, Sydney. It was there that I was blessed in meeting a wonderful herbalist. I watched her closely, fascinated with her ability to help improve people’s lives naturally and I became curious. Could herbal medicine work for me?

Once I started taking herbal medicine, it completely changed my life. No more trips to the doctor! But the best thing was that I felt empowered about looking after my own health and keeping myself well.

Eventually, the power of plant medicines and flower essences was so evident to me that I wanted to find out more. I decided to train under the matriarch of herbal medicine in Australia, the late Dorothy Hall. In doing so, I found my true passion and there was no looking back.

While I was studying I treated family and friends with amazing results. My children have never needed antibiotics or any pharmaceuticals – they know to come to me for natural healing. In fact, when my son was sixteen he got really worried because his throat hurt and he was convinced he had some terrible disease. Luckily, it was just a sore throat (which we fixed overnight with Immunity tonic) but because he wasn’t used to feeling sick it scared him!
