Who is The Doctor and the Naturopath?

The Doctor and the Naturopath are two women, solving women’s health problems. Dr Peta Wright is a fertility specialist and gynaecologist specialising in adolescent and women’s health, and naturopath, Elysia Humphries, works with women to naturally balance their hormones, energy and fertility. Based in Brisbane, Dr Peta currently works from the innovative gynaecology, obstetrics and fertility practice, Eve Health, and Elysia started Vibe Natural Health, an integrative team of natural health practitioners.

From August 2021, Peta will be based at her newly established wholistic practice, Vera Women’s Wellness, in the Samford Valley, with Elysia joining part-time as Vera’s in-house naturopath.

Peta and Elysia met over shared patients, and developed their passion project, The Doctor and The Naturopath, after they couldn’t stop talking about how women would have such better health and hormones if they were just taught the simple basics about their menstrual cycle from a young age. The things they find that help their patients feel better seem so very simple, yet many women don’t have this knowledge passed down to them.

Mission

Their mission is to help women learn how to harness the energy of their hormones and menstrual cycle with simple, natural approaches that get women back in touch with their bodies. You shouldn’t need to have a medical degree to understand how your body works and how best to look after it. They aim to run events and write books to help women to “be their own best friend” again, with solutions to common problems “down there” and transform that “once a month” bleeding time into more than just a time we dread, but understanding how to life hack our hormones to our advantage.

Elysia-Humphries-Vera-Womens-Wellness-Naturopath-WEB-2800px.jpg — Hello! I'm Elysia.

Elysia has a passion for health care and education. She has 17 years clinical experience working as a Naturopath in Brisbane. She created the Vibe Natural Health clinic with a view to providing clients with results based natural health care, within a friendly and personalised environment.
Her journey towards studying Naturopathy and Nutrition began as a teenager when she had to take months off school due to glandular fever and immune system problems. This came after a period of family stress and this lead her to realise the profound effect that stress can have upon wellbeing. Her family visited both doctors and naturopaths and with a combined treatment plan she recovered her good health and was inspired to study Naturopathy and help others on their journey toward better health.
Elysia is dedicated to health education and has presented health seminars for major corporations such as Telstra, Goodlife Health Clubs, school groups, mothers groups and organisations such as Rotary. She contributes research and case studies for Australian functional pathology laboratories to help other Practitioners understand how to integrate lab results into treatment plans for clients that work and are "thinking outside the clinical box." Her regular attendance at seminars and extra training programs keeps her in touch with the latest evidence based treatments and she is experienced at working in a team environment with GPs, Gynaecologists, Obstetricians, Osteopaths, Psychologists, Physiotherapists and other health care professionals.
Elysia believes that education is they key to good health and long term positive change. She will spend time with you, explaining the possible causes behind your symptoms and give you an easy to follow plan to improve your health. Your plan may include: dietary advice and recipes, stress management techniques, pathology testing, herbal medicine and / or nutritional supplements to get your health back on track.
Elysia is a "general practice" naturopath - treating many health conditions, but she has special interest in digestive health, allergy testing, nutrition, hormone health, fertility, sleep and stress management and helping people to boost energy after "burn out."
Elysia was a massage therapist before she became a Naturopath and learnt the importance of keeping the body flexible and moving well. This is why we have a strong focus on massage therapy at Vibe, as massage helps us to nurture the connection between our bodies and minds.
