Praxis Blooming

Hello! My name is Emily Maddern. I am the primary practitioner at Praxis Blooming. As a degree-qualified clinical Naturopath, I feel privileged to support people seeking to optimise their health, happiness and quality of life. Having navigated health obstacles of my own I appreciate the significance of feeling heard by your chosen healthcare professional. Sharing your health history with a new practitioner is not a simple task. I wholly understand this feeling. As a Naturopath my focus is comprehending a client’s experiences before formulating evidence-based treatments. I hold special interests in gut health addressing hormone balance, behavioural health, physical manifestations of chronic stress and mood disturbances yet I enjoy all aspects of general practice. Outside of clinical work, I’m a mother of two, a powerlifter and completing a Masters in Advanced Naturopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University. Forever curious.

After 25 years of working in stressful corporate roles, l was burnt out. Following childbirth, my body started showing signs of chronic stress. Everything I tried would work short term but the results weren't lasting. I felt like I was losing control of my health and my sanity! I saw many practitioners and finally found relief through holistic health practitioners. As a qualified personal trainer, pilates mat work instructor and now as a record-holding Powerlifter movement and exercise have always been important to me.

Growing up with Spina Bifida siblings is a lived experience of how nutritional supplementation can make a significant difference in some people's lives. After completing my degree I worked with one of Australia's largest supplement companies as an Educator in pharmacy reinforcing the growing need for holistic clinical healthcare professionals. I have since moved my practice to a new West Lakes location, surrounded by excellent allied health, and am excited to continue growing my client base. If you've read this far I'd like to know, how can I help you today?
