Meet Laura

Hi, I’m Laura Yen, the naturopath behind Burton Health.

I've been working in natural health for over 20 years, first as a remedial massage therapist and then as a naturopath.

I love what I do. I love asking questions, figuring things out and helping people feel better.

I'm not interested in perfection, and I don't expect it from you either.

You don't need to have the perfect diet, meditate every morning or give up everything you enjoy to work on your health. I'm much more interested in finding out what's going on, what we can do about it, and how to make it work in your actual life.

When you book with Burton Health, you work directly with me from your first appointment onwards.

“I believe in balance, freedom, and fun. I fear fanaticism.”

I'm naturally curious. I ask a lot of questions, and I like getting to the bottom of things.

If you're waking up exhausted, struggling with your digestion, feeling anxious, dealing with hormonal changes or just not feeling quite right, I want to understand what's happening.

Not just what your symptoms are, but when they started, what makes them better or worse, what else is going on in your life, and whether there are connections we haven't considered yet.

Sometimes we need to investigate further. Sometimes the answer is simpler than you might expect.

My Approach

My toolkit includes nutrition, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes and hands-on therapies like remedial massage and jaw release therapy. But I'm not interested in throwing everything at you at once.

I want us to work out what will make the biggest difference, what you're actually prepared to do, and where we should start.

And if something isn't working, we'll reassess.

I don't expect you to be perfect.

I want you to make progress, feel better and still enjoy your life.

How I Got Here

My love of natural health started early.

I grew up in the English countryside collecting wildflowers and making "potions" in my yellow bucket.

When my family moved to Australia when I was nine, I experienced anxiety for the first time. I didn't know that's what it was back then. I just knew I had tummy aches, nausea and a constant nervous feeling.

As I got older, I experienced burnout, recurring tonsillitis, constipation and anxiety. Studying massage therapy and naturopathy helped me better understand what was happening in my body and what I could do to support it.

More recently, I discovered that I'm neurodivergent, which has helped explain a lot of my experiences. Looking back, I'm glad I found my way into a profession that has helped me to nourish and look after myself all these years.

Now, after many years in practice, I feel incredibly grateful to help other people piece together their own puzzle and get the most out of life.

I offer consultations online via Telehealth, Australia-wide or in-person at my Dural clinic.

Telehealth has been a game changer for many of my clients. You can get proper support without needing to fit travel and parking into your already full life.
