kATE DE LA HUNTY - nd, cnfa
NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST
My career journey began in the US, studying at the New Eden School of Natural Health in Indiana. Originally born in Australia, I moved to the US for a period of time and returned to Australia in my twenties. I married, had three children and for most of their lives we lives on the Northern Beaches of NSW.
After my children grew up and left home, I returned to the US and worked internationally in Natural Health whilst working on my various credentials. I owned and ran three clinics in Southern California in the beachside suburbs of Seal Beach, Pacific Palisades as well as the famous Beverly Hills. During that time I was also Clinical Director of Transformations, a group which taught clinics across the country about applications of new technology and how to get the best outcomes for patients and lectured extensively on reversing Type 2 diabetes (a common health concern in the US) through naturopathic modalities.
I returned to Australia permanently in 2024 and since then have seen Naturopathy become an increasingly important part of Australian health care.
From the start of my career, I have remained dedicated to helping people restore their energy, balance their hormones, heal their gut, and feel well in their everyday lives. Known for my calm, practical and evidence-informed approach, I blend clinical naturopathy with personalised, realistic strategies that fit seamlessly into busy modern lifestyles.
With a strong focus on digestive health, stress and burnout recovery, women’s hormonal balance, immune resilience and metabolic health, I work to uncover the root causes behind symptoms rather than treating them at the surface level. My treatments often combine nutritional support, herbal medicine, lifestyle coaching and functional testing where appropriate.
I believe that good health shouldn’t feel overwhelming or restrictive — it should feel supportive, doable and empowering. Warm, compassionate and deeply invested in my patients’ progress, I help my clients create long-lasting health foundations that allow them to feel lighter, calmer and more in control of their wellbeing.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Kate is the real deal - she genuinely cares about helping you feel your best. What blew me away was how thorough she was. She actually listened and took the time to understand what I was going through. Just by looking at my eyes and skin, she described exactly how I was feeling better than anyone else had managed to do. Within one appointment, she had a proper plan ready to go.
CLAIRE
Highly recommend Kate. She is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and thorough. She helped me a lot with my digestive and general health and made the process simple and sustainable. Thanks so much!

At our first appointment, I brought in my blood test results. I hadn’t even told her what my concerns were yet, but just by looking at the results, looking at my eyes, skin, even tongue, Kate described exactly how I was feeling. I’m not a very emotional person, but I cried—because for the first time, someone actually listened, cared, and made me feel like I wasn’t crazy.
Kate changed my life, and I am forever grateful.
