Meet the People & The Purpose Behind New Leaf
It's mostly about you, but here's a bit about us.
We’re all about re-introducing you to you. It’s about seeing you as a whole person, because you’re so much more than your symptoms.
We focus on the stories behind those symptoms and create a safe space for practical, down-to-earth advice using evidence-based practices.
Our practitioners work collaboratively so you get the best care that is specific to your needs. Along your New Leaf journey, you may see all our practitioners at different times or just one of them; it depends on what you need.
Our Philosophy
Your story beyond your symptoms
Because we’re here to treat all of you, just as you are. We want to know all about your journey so far, and where you want to be in the future - and we’re here to listen.
We tread lightly
New Leaf is a low-impact clinic, which means we’re an eco-conscious practice. By doing our bit to reduce waste and carbon emissions, things at New Leaf are looking a whole lot greener.
Your Wellbeing Community
We’re all in this together - we’ll work with your existing health professionals and provide you with referral options. You will always have agency over your healthcare.
We Are Inclusive
New Leaf is a safe space. We welcome all sexualities, genders, and body types.
Left brain right brain
New Leaf is an evidence-based practice. We value traditional healthcare knowledge and work with the latest research to offer a variety of different treatments, in a safe and inclusive environment.
We Treat The Whole Of You
Mental health is as important as physical health. We want you to feel supported, accepted and listened to.
Meet Hannah Boyd
BA, Adv Dip Nat, Nut, WHM, MNHAA
Hannah’s life took an unexpected turn when, a few years into a successful film and TV career, she was diagnosed with a hearing and balance condition. Whilst navigating her own road to recovery, learning to once again gain control of her health, Hannah was inspired to help others who were also feeling a little off-balance in regard to their health and wellbeing.
As a practitioner, Hannah’s philosophy focuses on your stories and your symptoms, while providing personalised care in an inclusive environment - with a few laughs along the way.
Balancing the use of botanical and nutritional medicines with education and natural remedies, Hannah is here to help you live a balanced and healthy life.
When she’s not being a naturopath doing naturopath things, you’ll find Hannah camping in her van Totoro, exploring some of the most beautiful corners of the country we’re lucky enough to call home. From secret rivers, to misty mountaintops, for Hannah, the great outdoors is always calling.

Jacintha Gunasekera
BHSc (Nat), Adv.Dip.Nat MNHAA
Jacintha has worked in the fertility space for over 15 years and knows how challenging it can sometimes be to conceive. She has helped hundreds of couples conceive their babies, and loves it.
Her approach is comprehensive (your fertility is precious and she takes this seriously), and compassionate (trying to conceive, and infertility, can be...exhausting). Your fertility story is unique and your care is individualised. Jacintha uses an evidence-based naturopathic approach to help optimise your fertility, and complement any assisted reproductive technologies. Treatment may include dietary & lifestyle interventions, nutritional & herbal medicine, and can safely work alongside conventional fertility medications.
Jacintha has a special interest in infertility, IVF support, and miscarriage & baby loss. She recognises the fertility space is an inclusive space, and welcomes all couples, all individuals.
When she's not in consultation or keeping up-to-date with the latest in reproductive health & research, Jacintha feels revitalised by beach walks and birdsong, cups of tea and comedies, and a good book.
