Evidence-Based, Women’s Health Holistic Naturopath

Clear Skin,
Balanced Hormones,
Gut Health.

As an acne and gut health naturopath, I help women clear their skin and eat freely by addressing the root cause of breakouts, bloating, and hormonal imbalances, so they can achieve lasting results.

Most come to me after facials, restrictive diets, and supplements haven’t worked. I don’t guess. I test, using data to guide targeted, effective treatment.

The reframe

It's not that your body is overreacting. It's that nobody has looked at the right data.

i.

You've been given a label, not an answer.

If you've been told your bloods are “normal,” your acne is “just hormonal,” or your gut is “sensitive,” that's a label. Standard range pathology tells you whether you're statistically average — it doesn't tell you what's actually driving your symptoms.

ii.

The right tests, in the right order.

I look at your hormone balance, whether you have a gut terrain that is pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory (which can directly drive acne), and your nutritional status — assessed against functional ranges, not the standard GP reference ranges that are designed to detect disease, not identify what's optimal for you.

iii.

A plan built around your actual results.

Using functional pathology, microbiome testing and cycle-timed hormone panels, I find your individual pattern and build a treatment plan around what's actually happening in your body — not a protocol built for someone else.

If any of this sounds familiar

You're not imagining it.

What I actually check

Here's what I'm actually looking at. No guessing games.

This is the same process I use with every 1:1 client, built from testing what actually drives skin, gut and hormone symptoms rather than treating them as three separate problems.

01

Foundations

Before any testing, we map your diet, lifestyle and daily patterns properly. So we know what we're working with before we start changing anything.

02

Find the actual root cause

Blood testing, gut microbiome testing (Microba Co-Biome or GI-MAP), and hormone testing (DUTCH or cycle timed serum) to find your individual drivers.

03

Where you break out matters

The location and pattern of your symptoms is data. Hormonal acne, gut driven acne and fungal acne look different and need different treatment. Cyclical bloating and constant bloating point to different causes too.

04

The gut skin axis

Your gut and skin are not separate systems. Oestrogen affects bile flow and gut sensitivity. Gut inflammation shows up on your skin. Treating one without the other is why most things you've tried only worked temporarily.

05

The nervous system

Cortisol and stress physiology, addressed with more than “have you tried meditating.” Practical, individual strategies for the nervous system piece that's almost always part of the picture.

06

Hormones, properly mapped

LH:FSH ratio, oestradiol, luteal progesterone, SHBG, testosterone, DHEA-S, and how your oestrogen behaves across your actual cycle. Not a single hormone snapshot taken on a random day.

What to expect

Working with me isn't a 10 minute GP appointment.

01

We talk, for free.

A 15 minute discovery call. No prep needed. We figure out if this is a fit and what I think is actually going on.

02

We go deep.

Your first full consultation covers your symptoms, diet, lifestyle, cycle and stress in proper detail. You leave with a treatment plan: supplements, dietary changes, lifestyle changes, and whatever testing I recommend.

03

We treat the actual cause.

Using evidence based herbal medicine, nutrition and a naturopathic approach, we work through what's actually driving things. Blood sugar, gut health, hormones, nervous system, so the change holds long term instead of relapsing in six weeks.

04

You get your life back.

Clearer skin. Less bloating. Fewer mood swings. More energy. Knowing what to eat and why, instead of guessing.

Why an acne, gut & hormone naturopath

Your skin is a reflection of what's happening internally.

Most people come to me after years of being told their results are “normal,” while still breaking out every month, still bloated after every meal, still exhausted and not knowing why.

Acne, gut dysfunction and hormonal imbalance are almost never isolated problems. They're signals. Acne specifically comes down to nutrient status, hormones, gut health, the immune system and the skin microbiome, all driving inflammation on the skin. We won't know which one without testing.

Once we understand the signal, we treat the cause instead of suppressing the symptom.

I combine functional testing, herbal medicine, nutrition and nervous system support to give you a clear picture of what's going on, and a real plan for what to do about it. All consultations are online, so you can work with me wherever you are in Australia.

Adina Schon Naturopath

Hi, I'm Adina

BHSc Naturopath, skin and gut health.

Ten years ago I came off the pill and developed acne and severe bloating. Anxiety, constipation and fatigue came with it. I didn't feel like myself, and it started affecting how I lived day to day.

I did what most people do. Facials, supplements, skin clinics, doctor to doctor just to be handed another prescription. I spent a lot of money for very little to show for it. I considered medication, but the trade offs didn't sit right, and I was cycling through options without ever understanding what was actually driving any of it.

What changed things was working with someone who looked past my skin and used a structured, step by step approach focused on the underlying drivers, not just the symptom on the surface.

That experience is the reason I practise the way I do. I now focus on acne, gut dysfunction and hormonal imbalance, because they rarely show up alone, and because what's driving them can affect a lot more than your skin: fertility, thyroid, bone health, cardiovascular risk.

When we work together, the goal is clarity. You understand what's actually driving your symptoms, and we treat it with a plan that's targeted, evidence based, and built to hold long term.

Client stories

What my clients say.

— hundreds of women treated

Erica

I cannot recommend Adina enough! I've been dealing with acne and eczema for years, and after less than two months working with her, my eczema has cleared up and my skin is the best it's been in years. I'm excited to keep working with Adina and continue making progress with her.

Jordan

Adina is a passionate naturopath who was able to provide better results for my skin concerns after one session than I've seen from years of trial and error with different skin clinics. My overall health then improved as a side effect. Thank you so much!

April

Before I began working with Adina I was dealing with unbearable heavy and painful periods, eczema, bloating and gut issues and very poor sleep. Adina was able to identify the cause of all of this and provide specific supplements to target these issues as well as give advice on lifestyle and diet changes to support my health. Within less than 6 months I now have healthy, manageable periods, a healthy gut with no bloating, very little eczema, and am able to have restful sleep. Adina is a very empathetic and caring practitioner and genuinely cares and listens. Her dedication and knowledge is above and beyond any other naturopath I have worked with!

Miranda

Adina is amazing! My dermal clinician referred me to her after I was no longer seeing improvement under the care of my previous naturopath. In just 6 months, Adina has completely changed my life! With some supplementation and small dietary changes, my skin is the clearest it has ever been, my gut is happier, and I am no longer physically exhausted every day. My PMS symptoms are improving each cycle and my anxiety has significantly decreased. Thorough, supportive and so knowledgeable! I cannot recommend her enough!

FAQs

Common questions.

Do I need to be in Melbourne to work with you? +
Nope. All consultations are 100% online. I work with clients all over Australia.
What does the 15 minute call involve? +
A relaxed, no pressure chat. We talk through what you're struggling with, and I'll give you a clear sense of whether naturopathy, and working with me specifically, is likely to help. No obligation to book anything further.
Can naturopathy actually help acne? +
Yes, especially when it's hormonal, gut related or stress driven, which most adult acne is. I use functional testing to understand what's going on internally, then treat from the root cause.
How long does it take to see results? +
It varies, but many clients notice meaningful changes within 4 to 6 weeks. More complex cases are usually 3 to 6 months for full resolution. I'll always give you an honest timeline for your specific situation.
What conditions do you specialise in? +
Acne, dermatitis and other skin conditions, bloating, IBS, constipation and gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalances including PMS, PCOS, painful periods and irregular cycles, fatigue, and chronic vaginal infections like BV and thrush.
How is this different from seeing a GP or dermatologist? +
GPs and dermatologists are trained to diagnose and manage symptoms, often with medication. My approach looks at what's driving it, gut health, hormones, metabolic factors, using testing to guide treatment. I often work alongside GPs for an integrative approach.
What if I've already had bloods done and they came back normal? +
Normal and optimal aren't the same thing. Standard reference ranges are built from the average population, not from what's optimal for you. I look at your results against functional ranges, and at markers that often aren't tested at all in a standard GP panel.
