Bringing a broader perspective to women’s health in midlife and beyond.

Expert commentary | Editorial contributions | Podcasts | Speaking | Collaborations

  • Menopause is a significant transition in a woman’s life. But it doesn’t happen in isolation.
  • Hormonal changes intersect with sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, stress, existing health conditions and the cumulative demands of everyday life.
  • I believe women deserve health conversations that recognise this complexity while making the information practical, balanced and accessible.
  • I’m available for editorial contributions, interviews, educational presentations and collaborations that help women better understand their health and the possibilities of life beyond menopause.

Meet Sally Pattison

Naturopath | Nutritionist | Medical Herbalist

  • I’m an Australian Naturopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, specialising in women’s health through perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause.
  • My professional background began in Nuclear Medicine (Diagnostic Medical Imaging), where I worked from 1985 to 2002. I began working in Natural Therapies in 1991 and undertook formal Naturopathy studies in 2005.
  • Today, I bring together clinical experience, evidence-informed practice and lived experience to explore the wider influences on women’s health.
  • As a postmenopausal woman, mother and grandmother, I’m particularly passionate about helping women approach this stage of life with greater understanding, confidence and a sense of possibility.

Based in the Byron Bay Hinterland, I support women across Australia through online consultations and health programmes.

My philosophy: Where science meets soul.
