Kirsty King

Founder - Naturopath (BHSc Naturopathy) - Colon Hydrotherapist

Hi, I’m Kirsty, a gut health-obsessed naturopath on a mission to make the world healthier and happier, starting with you and me.

My obsession with natural health began after suffering from gut issues in my early twenties. I was introduced to a naturopath, and after a short period of working together, I started to feel better. This led me to study for a four-year Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in Naturopathy at the Endeavour College of Natural Health.

Colon Hydrotherapy played a big part in my healing journey. I used colonics and enemas to help reduce digestive discomfort and symptoms of candida die-off. I still use these tools today to maintain a healthy, balanced life.

I founded Gut Recovery Centre in Goodwood, South Australia, so I can help others find answers to their gut issues and claim back their health.

After having a baby, I’m taking indefinite time off from seeing naturopathy and colon hydrotherapy clients. I have created a team of passionate, like-minded therapists to care for you in our beautiful clinic. If you are unsure who to book in with, send me an email, and I can point you in the right direction - hello@gutrecoverycentre.com.au

You may still hear from me as I manage admin from home and take care of things behind the scenes.

Kirsty is currently on maternity leave and not taking bookings.

Kyla

Colon Hydrotherapist

Hi, I’m Kyla. I am currently in my final year of pursuing a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetic Medicine at Endeavour College of Natural Health. I have embarked on a health journey that has unveiled the intricate connection between autoimmune diseases and the digestive system. Before focusing on Colon Hydrotherapy and specialising in Clinical Nutrition, I worked in Human Resources, Talent development, and mentorship, guiding leaders through organizational transitions and global career shifts across the Middle East, UK, and Australia. 

My personal health journey has led me to recognise the intricate connection between autoimmune diseases and the digestive system, placing gut health at the forefront of my academic and personal exploration. Beyond autoimmune diseases, I am interested in women’s health, addressing hormonal balance and skin, and sharing stress management techniques through meditative practices (having previously taught meditation). I am also certified in Mat and Reformer Pilates, which aligns with my passion for wellness.

I embrace a holistic approach to practice, emphasising the interconnection of physical and emotional aspects of health. I aim to cultivate an environment of compassion, kindness, warmth, and caring, supporting clients to feel safe during colon hydrotherapy sessions with me.

Ashlee Yates

Naturopath (BHSc Naturopathy)

Hi, I’m Ash.

Having always had an interest in health, I first began my university studies in nutrition and dietetics. Partway through my dietetics degree, a close friend of mine was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease alopecia. Fast forward past countless tests and specialist appointments, there was no explanation for the sudden onset of her condition. Not until her mum begged her to see a naturopath. Within 6 months of naturopathic treatment, her hair began to grow back.

I’ll never forget how awe-inspiring that was, the change in my friends’ health completely contradicted everything I thought I knew about disease and healing. My friend went on to finish her masters in dietetics, while I went on to pursue studies in naturopathic medicine and chronic disease.

As time went on, I became a mother and my focus naturally progressed to children’s health. During my pregnancy with my son, we were completely heartbroken to find that he would be born with a form of kidney disease, hydronephrosis. This diagnosis, at 20 weeks gestation, shook me to my core. This pregnancy was my rainbow baby, and now suddenly it too was also riddled with fear and uncertainty.

Did I do something to cause this, what could I have done differently? Did I get pregnant again too soon? Why would this happen to any mother, but how could it happen to a mum that’s a naturopath?

The first few years of Eli’s life was a rollercoaster of joy and worry. Through a combination of naturopathy and medical care, we were able to avoid surgical intervention and ongoing pharmaceutical medication. Our beautiful boy is now living free from disease thanks to an integrative approach to his healthcare.

Georgia Foti

Naturopath (BHSc Naturopathy)

Hi I’m Georgia,

Having grown up in a family who were always inclined to deal with health in a holistic way, I became interested in nutrition and natural health care very quickly. 

It was through struggling with my own digestive health, unable to find any clear answers or relief from conventional medical care, that I sought out care from a Naturopath. I immediately felt like my practitioner was there to listen, willing to get to the bottom of things and ready to explore some non-invasive testing and treatment protocols. Most importantly, my Naturopath did not dismiss my discomfort just because it didn't fit into the diagnostic criteria for a disease.

After completing my Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy at Endeavour College, I came to understand that Naturopathic health care, in conjunction with conventional medicine, really provides the most comprehensive and effective care for the whole person. Because I fell through the cracks of conventional health care, I want to be that practitioner that bridges the gap and communicates with other health professionals effectively to help put the pieces of your health together.

​I have a special interest in treating digestive conditions such as IBS, SIBO, IBD, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, bloating and more. A healthy and functional digestive system is absolutely paramount to overall health. Evaluating digestive function can identify how efficiently your body produces and absorbs vitamins and minerals, how hormones are broken down and regulated as well as your body's ability to eliminate waste products. Often improving a client’s digestion will slowly start to resolve other seemingly unrelated issues that are also going on. Through my clinical experience, having treated a variety of conditions, I am reminded that optimal digestion is fundamental for overall health and wellbeing.
