Meet Monique

Monique Wilding is a degree-qualified Naturopath (BHSc), an accredited member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association, and a Master Practitioner in NLP. She is also the founder of The Slow Life Naturopath - a space devoted to gently uncovering the real roots of what’s happening in your body and overall health.

Her work goes beyond symptom management. It’s a thoughtful, deeply personalised approach that considers the full picture of health - your concerns, lived experience, emotional health, health history, hormones, stress, lifestyle, gut health, sleep, nutrition, and the lifestyle and subconscious patterns that may be quietly keeping you stuck.

With a blend of in-depth consultations, advanced functional testing, clinical nutrition, and realistic lifestyle strategies and mindset strategies, Monique helps you understand what’s truly driving your symptoms - and what your body is asking for to come back into balance.

Her approach is nervous system–led: calm, intuitive, and grounded in evidence. She weaves together science, traditional naturopathic wisdom and a holistic mind–body perspective, guiding you to uncover the “why” behind how you feel, so healing becomes possible from the inside out.

Having walked her own path through anxiety, hormone concerns and high sensitivity, Monique brings a depth of understanding to her work. Her clients often say they feel deeply supported - not rushed, not dismissed, but genuinely heard and like someone has finally listened to them.

No overwhelm. No extremes.
Just thoughtful, steady care - so you can feel more like yourself again: calm, energised, and at home in your body- reconnected to yourself.

Monique supports women who:

  • Feel anxious, stressed, stimulated or easily overwhelmed and are quite sensitive.

  • Feel exhausted, want more energy and want less irritability.

  • Are mums or busy women trying to do it all but feel burnt out and disconnected from themselves.

  • Need support with their hormones or reproductive health and feel their cycle or period has become imbalanced or irregular

  • Who feel that stress has affected their digestive system and they experience bloating, constipation or IBS.

  • Postpartum women and those navigating perimenopause who feel exhausted, depleted, or overwhelmed, and are looking for support to feel like themselves again

  • Who have been told their bloods are ‘fine’ when they don’t feel fine.

  • Who seek more for themselves and their health and want a clear and easy to follow health protocol that makes sense from a degree qualified practitioner.

Monique works with women who are experiencing:

  • Nervous System overload & stress presenting as:
    Anxiety, chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout, overwhelm, panic attacks, digestive complaints-(IBS/constipation, bloating)

  • Energy & Mental Clarity
    Persistent fatigue/exhaustion, low energy & brain fog

  • Hormone Cycle Imbalances + Reproductive health
    PMS/PMDD, Irregular cycles, hormone imbalances, PCOS, period health, amenorrhea (absence of a menstrual period)

A Different Kind of Care

With Monique

Every consultation takes place online via Zoom, making her support accessible no matter where you are in Australia. These sessions are more than appointments-they’re a dedicated space where you can slow down, speak openly, and feel truly listened to. No rushing. No dismissal. Just thoughtful, focused care.

Through her work, Monique helps you reconnect with a sense of ease-guiding you toward feeling calmer, more energised, balanced, and, ultimately, like yourself again.

How Monique supports you

  • Initial Consultation (60 minutes)

    Your first appointment is a comprehensive 60-minute consultation designed to explore your health on a deeper level. This is not a surface-level session-we take the time to thoroughly understand your unique story in a calming environment.

    During this appointment, we will discuss your:

    • Personal health history

    • Current symptoms and concerns + health goals

    • Hormonal health

    • Nervous system function

    • Gut health

    • Lifestyle and dietary habits

    • Emotional health and overall wellbeing

    Monique is also trained in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), allowing her to identify deeper subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs that may be impacting your health. If relevant, she will provide you with specific limiting beliefs to work on after your second or third appointment.

    If you have recent pathology results within 3 months, these can be reviewed prior to your session. Please send them through in advance so they can be assessed with a functional and integrative perspective.

    This consultation is intended to feel like a reset for your nervous system-a safe and supportive space where you can unpack what’s been happening in your body and begin to understand why.

    Following your appointment, Monique will spend time connecting the dots within your case to develop a clearer clinical picture. Functional testing may also be recommended to better understand your body’s current patterns from a holistic perspective.

    Your results and personalised treatment protocol will be presented during your second appointment, which is typically scheduled around 4 weeks after your initial consultation but you will leave your first consult with a treatment plan as well.

  • At The Slow Life Naturopath, you have access to advanced, private functional testing designed to uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface of your health.

    This isn’t just about numbers on a page-it’s about understanding the patterns, rhythms, and deeper signals your body has been trying to communicate.

    Monique often recommends a comprehensive approach for women, including adrenal panels (cortisol & DHEA), full hormone testing, complete thyroid panels, and in-depth blood work. These are carefully selected to reveal functional imbalances that are often missed in standard testing.

    Rather than looking at results in isolation, your testing is interpreted as part of a bigger picture-your symptoms, your history, and your body’s unique story.

    For more complex or long-standing concerns, advanced gut microbiome testing may also be suggested to explore the role of your digestive system in your overall health.

    Every test is chosen with intention, based on your individual case-nothing is unnecessary, and everything has a purpose.

    Functional testing allows Monique to connect the dots with precision, creating highly personalised and targeted treatment strategies aligned with your unique physiology.

    Testing is typically recommended after your initial consultation, ensuring your results are understood in context-not just clinically, but holistically.

  • Nervous System–Led Healing (Our Signature Approach)

    At The Slow Life Naturopath, we do things differently. Supporting the nervous system isn’t an add-on-it’s the foundation of everything we do.

    Moniques is very interested in nervous system-led healing, working from the understanding that the body cannot truly repair, regulate, or rebalance while it remains in a state of stress, depletion, or dysregulation.

    No matter what brings you in-whether it’s hormones, gut health, fatigue, or cycle concerns-your nervous system will always be a core part of your treatment. Because when the nervous system feels safe, the body can finally begin to balance.

    This approach creates the groundwork for deeper, more sustainable results-rather than quick fixes that don’t last.

    Every nervous system is different. Your care is tailored to how your body responds, adapts, and protects and what is shown on functional testsing and in your in depth consult. Monique combines clinical naturopathy with intuition, lived experience, and a deep understanding of mind-body connection to guide your treatment.

    Drawing from both modern science and traditional naturopathic wisdom, she may also incorporate mindset tools, values work, and limiting belief exploration where appropriate-helping you address not only the physical, but the underlying patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

    This is where true, lasting change begins.

  • Monique creates nutrition and lifestyle protocols that are designed to work with you-not against you.

    Rather than rigid plans or overwhelming changes, your recommendations are thoughtfully tailored to feel supportive, achievable, and sustainable within your real life.

    Every protocol is deeply personalised, guided by your initial consultation, your symptoms, and the patterns uncovered in your functional testing. Nothing is generic-each recommendation has a clear purpose, aligned with what your body is asking for.

    This is about creating a way of eating and living that gently supports your system back into balance-one that feels natural, not forced.

  • Monique doesn’t guess-she listens.

    Every recommendation is shaped around you: your pathology, your symptoms, and the subtle signals your body is giving. Rather than overwhelming you with a shelf full of supplements, she takes a precise, intentional approach-prescribing only what’s truly necessary.

    Herbal medicine and practitioner-grade supplements are used as powerful, targeted tools-not as a blanket solution. The real focus lies deeper: restoring balance through nutrition, regulation, and sustainable lifestyle shifts that support your body long after the consultation ends.

    This is not about quick fixes. It’s about giving your body exactly what it needs-and nothing it doesn’t.

  • Gentle, intentional techniques designed to calm, reset, and regulate your nervous system-guiding you back to a deeper connection with yourself.

    Through carefully selected exercises and curated tools, you’ll gain practical ways to support your body in everyday life. After each appointment, you’ll receive personalised, detailed protocols-designed to integrate seamlessly into your routine and support lasting change.

  • Thoughtful referrals when needed-so your care is supported, not overwhelming.

What Women are saying:

What Women are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I came to Monique when I was completely burnt out and struggling to keep up with day-to-day life. She was so thorough, taking the time to really listen and run a couple of tests to get to the root of what was going on. With a few changes to my diet, alongside the right vitamins and herbal support, Monique was able to create a clear path forward. Fast forward to now, I feel on top of the world again and am managing better than I did even before I burnt out. I’m so grateful for her knowledge, support, and genuine care. I recommend Monique to everyone!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Monique. From the very beginning, she has listened deeply and taken the time to truly understand what I’ve been going through. After years of struggling with low iron and a low immune system, and feeling like I was running out of answers, she was the first person to make meaningful connections. What has meant the most to me is the hope she has given me. I had genuinely started to lose hope in finding real solutions and now I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve experienced a noticeable reduction in my anxiety and panic attacks and that alone has been life changing. I feel heard, understood and empowered with my health in a way I never have before. Her holistic, thoughtful approach has made such a difference to my wellbeing and I’m so grateful for her care and guidance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Every time I have a session with Monique I leave feeling so heard & empowered. You can see how much effort she puts in to her appointments and her genuine care. This I was my first experience with a Naturopath & I honestly could not recommend her enough, everything was explained with such detail & in a way that’s easy to understand! Thank you Monique, 10/10 changed my life!
