My Story
Pip’s before children life involved travelling the world and working as a teacher linguist in a bilingual aboriginal school in Central Australia. She found her own children were suffering from multiple chemical sensitivities and a myriad of health concerns from a very young age. This led her on a wellness journey that is now almost 20 years long. This journey has included qualifications in Nutritional medicine, Naturopathy and GAPS Practitioner training.
Pip has also trained with the Mindd Foundation, the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute and attended conferences with Dr Walshe and Biobalance Australia. This has covered areas in Environmental medicine, functional neurology, gastroenterology, neuro immunology and biomedical approaches.

Pip is a firm believer in getting to the root cause of the problem and that every individual is different.
She has a particular interest in neurological function and brain health in both children and adults. How cognitive function, mood, behaviour, anxiety levels, mental health, ability to focus and memory are all deeply connected to overall health. Particularly influenced by gut health, inflammation, toxin load, immune function and the interplay this has with their environment.
She has a strong belief in treating the whole person and has an enormous respect for the incredible and intricate beings that we are and the ecosystems that support or deplete us.
Pip, Clinton and their two girls run a regenerative organic farm in Young “Gregory Downs Organics”. They run Pasture raised cattle and a few free range pigs, sheep, horses and chickens. They are passionate about regenerating the land and creating an environment for healthy soil microbes, healthy plants, healthy animals and healthy us!
Being on the farm has allowed her to understand that animal health is no different to our own health in that it involves the health and vitality of the entire ecosystem that the animal exists within, along with low stress and being happy – just like us.
In her spare time, Pip enjoys spending time with her family on their farm, walking, yoga, her dogs and horses, and when she can drag her husband off the farm – travelling!
