Welcome to The Herbal Health Coach

About The Herbal Health Coach

The Herbal Health Coach is an extension of our clinic, Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre. Its intention is to provide additional information and services beyond what we can achieve on a one-to-one consultation basis during regular appointments with our patients.

Most of our patients, yoga class participants, students and workshop attendees want more information once they finish one of these activities.

The Herbal Health Coach tries to fill this gap by providing a range of Membership-Only levels, which allow access to additional information, online-courses, workshops and services beyond what we can provide during face-to-face activities.

Please take a look at the options available to you in our Membership Options page.

Who is The Herbal Health Coach?

The Herbal Health Coach is run by Susan O’Neill-Siegenthaler and Danny Siegenthaler who are both highly qualified and experienced healthcare practitioners. Between them they have over seven decades of experience in private practice, teaching and healthcare.

The idea behind The Herbal Health Coach is to provide more than can be given during a consultation or a yoga class to people who wish to gain a deeper understanding of their health and well-being.

We achieve this by offering online courses, intensive workshops, classes and more.
