Welcome,

My name is Bronte Purcell. I am a bachelor-qualified naturopath, postgraduate-qualified psychotherapist registered with PACFA, as well as a trained menstrual educator, birth doula & massage therapist. 


I’m sure you can tell that I am a keen learner, and student of life. I specialise in working with uncommonly curious, sensitive, and deep feeling humans because I get it and have spent my entire life as one. I spent my 20s studying, learning, travelling, exploring internally & externally. This chapter of my life in my 30s is now focused on harvesting all that I have learnt, embodying it in my day to day and offering it back to fellow travellers who wish to walk alongside.

I bring my lived experience and professional education into the work that I do. What truely shapes my knowledge as a health practitioner and therapist is my own health journey with anxiety, pcos and post-pill ammenhorea in my late teens/early 20s. As well as years of receiving therapy in different psychotherapeutic modalities, naturopathic care, silent meditation retreats, nature-based vision quests, embodiment workshops, and other personal initiations. I combine all of this rich knowledge with years of institutional study which I list in more detail below.

The work that I do is a body, mind & whole-being approach to well-being. There is an innate wisdom that exists within every living being, that is constantly working towards our survival, our healing, and our growth. Therefore, it is my role as a therapist & practitioner to work in collaboration with you so that we can get to the root cause of what is blocking you from reconnecting to this innate wisdom within.

    Naturopathy

    I provide holistic care for women’s reproductive health. I consider your physical, mental, & emotional health and we create a plan together to support you into health & wellbeing. The approach I take is nervous system led and focused on getting to the root cause.

    Psychotherapy

    I create an explorative space built on curiosity, compassion and deep listening. I meet you in the depths of your inner wildness, so that you can dissolve shame, welcome home the suppressed parts of yourself and return to a sense of wholeness & humanness.

    Bodywork

    I create a nurturing space for you to pause, receive and come home to your innermost being. It is a chance to connect with your body, your womb, and your feminity, and the massage creates movement and space for your body to become more fluid & vital.
