“Some of the most rewarding moments of my life are when people tell me I have touched their lives, improving their health, be it physical or emotional.”

...When my son, now a University student, was born in Milan - Italy, his health was poor. After using conventional drugs for a couple of months I realised that Western medicine was not our answer.

A young mum in my thirties then, I decided to pursue my long-time passion for holistic medicine by enrolling at the renowned “Scuola Italiana di Medicina Olistica” to become a naturopath. Within a few months of using natural remedies, like herbs and homeopathics, my son became asthma free and to this day he is a happy, healthy young man who has never taken a conventional medicine since. Yes, not even one Panadol! This was my first success, which made it very clear that I had finally landed on the work path that was perfectly suited to me, where I could use together my passion for studying and my care for fellow human beings.

That is why I had no regrets in leaving the corporate world where I had worked until then, first as a lawyer and then, since I had already been searching my path for a while, as a media and public relation manager.

As soon as I finished my studies, I opened a clinic in Italy, where I helped many people with a variety of health problems. Since the beginning I have seen myself as a “holistic practitioner”. I have purposefully decided to specialise in the interconnectedness of the human body and not only in one area of it. In fact that in itself contradicts with the concept of holistic medicine, a concept that entails looking at the entirety of the person, not just at one part.

In 2010 my family and I migrated to Australia. I soon received my local accreditation and started Mother Natura Holistic Health and Therapies.

After a couple of years, even if I had already got my accreditation, I decided to pursue the Australian Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy in order to offer my patients a truly global approach to natural medicine.

In the last almost twenty years, I have kept up to date spending hours on the latest research regarding a vast array of health topics.

Studying and practicing in two different continents has allowed me to develop a unique synthesis of practice so that I can offer each of my patients an individually tailored approach to healing, blending therapies and techniques gained from my European and Australian experiences.

I have also held conferences, written articles and collaborated with many health professionals and institutions in Europe and Australia.

Guided by my strong spirituality and compassion, I take each and every case to heart. I aim to combine commitment and sensibility with excellence in naturopathic knowledge. For your comfort I can offer consultations in English, Italian and French.

"My sister recommended Mother Natura to me. I live remotely and cannot attend appointments face to face. However, Elena was able to help me to the full extent of her capabilities by FaceTime appointments and photos of eyes, skin etc and blood test results. Her knowledge is extensive and she backs up her methods and advice with clear explanations. But most of all, the results were extremely effective in my case. Now Elena is helping my 16 year old daughter."

"Elena is an outstanding practitioner. She is a true healer, ensuring that every detail of one's health is considered in her thoroughly persistent determination to leave no stone unturned. It is without question that after allowing myself to be wholly treated by Elena, I am now the healthiest version of myself that is possible. Keep up the great work, maestro of healing!"

"I am a 20 year old boy who has had eczema and asthma problems since I was born. I have used every thing that doctors have prescribed to me and they all end up making it worse. From the very beginning Elena has really listened to my concerns, and has helped me find a way to move forward with my asthma and Eczema. Within only 4 months I have seen massive improvements. I now no longer need to use a preventer and now finally feeling confident with my skin, a lot of stress and insecurity are gone."

Jake L.
"From my first visit Elena's advice on diet and suggested supplements resonated with me. So literally in a matter of a few days I was getting amazing BP measurements. In addition my cholesterol readings after 2 months were within normal range this was amazing! Elena was spot on with her advice and for me just as importantly was that Elena provided reasoned information on the most likely cause of my issues. I feel that her clinical health knowledge supported by her connection to natural health plus her extensive experience and professionalism make her a true god send."
