Hannah Ward, naturopath at Sprout Natural Health

I’m Hannah Ward, a degree-qualified naturopath with a Masters in Reproductive Medicine, and naturopathy at Sprout is delivered online, Australia-wide. I work mainly with women on their reproductive health, hormones, cycles, fertility and pregnancy, along with thyroid, gut, and the energy and mood changes that come with all of it.

Most people who book have already tried a few things before they get to me, and they’ve often been told their blood tests are “normal” but they still don’t feel well day to day. That’s really the kind of picture naturopathic care has room for, so I start from wherever you’re at and look at why your body is responding the way it is.

Naturopathy for women’s health and hormones

A lot of the women who come to me know something’s off but they’ve been told their blood work is “normal.” And sometimes everything genuinely is fine, but when it isn’t, or when you just want to understand what’s actually going on underneath, that’s where a naturopathic approach has the room to spend time on it.

I look at the full picture, cycle length, ovulation signs, how each phase is going, where the symptoms cluster, and how things like sleep, stress and digestion feed into all of it. I use functional testing where it helps fill in the gaps, then work with diet, lifestyle, targeted nutrition and herbal medicine. And I don’t over-prescribe, I’d much rather find what’s actually going on than have you relying on a cupboard full of supplements.

PCOS

PCOS is one of the most common things I see, and it presents quite differently from woman to woman. Some women have irregular or absent cycles, some have the classic blood sugar dysregulation, the energy crash after meals, the carb cravings, weight that goes straight to the middle, and some have the skin and hair changes that come with raised androgens.

For PCOS I bring together functional testing, diet and lifestyle changes, and herbal and nutritional support, depending on which part of the picture is driving things for you. And if you want acupuncture alongside, I work closely with our in-house acupuncturists at the Paradise Point clinic.

Endometriosis

Endo is one of those conditions that tends to get dismissed for years before someone actually looks into it properly. The pain can be really significant, and it often doesn’t respond the way you’d expect to standard pain relief. What I do sits alongside your specialist’s management, the focus is on supporting the cycle, settling inflammation where we can, and making the day-to-day a bit more manageable.

Fertility and preconception

Fertility is an area where preparation really matters. For women trying to conceive naturally I tend to focus on cycle regularity, ovulation, and the luteal phase, that second half of the cycle where progesterone needs to hold up long enough to support implantation. Preconception is also the window where egg quality and overall health can be supported in the months before you start trying.

If you’re partway through IVF, or getting ready for a cycle, I work alongside your fertility specialist, not instead of them. Functional testing can be organised remotely so the plan is built on what’s actually happening for you.

Coming off the pill

Coming off the pill can be a bit of an unknown, your cycle can take a while to come back, your skin flares, your mood shifts around while your body finds its own rhythm again. The support I give here is about helping that natural hormonal rhythm re-establish itself, and it’s often a slower process than people hope, so I’m upfront about that from the start.

Pregnancy and postpartum

Through pregnancy, care tends to centre on nutrition and supporting both mum and bub safely as things change trimester to trimester. And the fourth trimester is something I take really seriously, postpartum depletion is real, you’re bone-tired, there’s nothing left in the tank and it’s more than just the broken sleep, and recovery after birth takes a lot longer than most people expect. So the work here is about replenishing, gently, over time.

Your first appointment

What to expect

Online consultations are held via secure video using Google Meet, so you can see Hannah from wherever you are. The initial consultation runs for around an hour. She takes a full health history. Not just the main reason you’ve booked, but sleep, digestion, stress levels, cycle patterns, and anything else that gives a picture of how things are sitting for you overall.

After the consultation, a personalised treatment plan is sent out by email. Where appropriate, prescribed herbs and supplements are dispensed and delivered express straight to your home, and any functional testing can be organised remotely and reviewed at your follow-up.

At the end of the first session you’ll get a sense of how many consultations Hannah would suggest for your situation. That varies. Some people want short-term, targeted support; others benefit from ongoing care over several months, and she’s upfront about that so you know what you’re getting into.

Follow-up consultations are used to review progress and adjust the plan as your health changes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see a naturopath online from anywhere in Australia?

Yes. Naturopathy at Sprout runs entirely online, Australia-wide, so where you live doesn’t change the care you get. We’re based at Paradise Point on the Gold Coast but I see women from right across the country, some local, some interstate, and a lot from rural areas where this kind of care is really hard to find in person.

How do online naturopathy consultations work?

Consultations run over secure video using Google Meet. The initial appointment goes for around an hour and I take a full health history, so we’ll cover sleep, digestion, stress and your cycle as well as the main reason you’ve booked, because all of it feeds into the picture. Your treatment plan comes by email afterwards, and at follow-ups we go through how things are going and adjust the plan as your health changes.

Can I still do testing if my consultations are online?

Yes. Functional testing can be organised remotely and we go through the results at your follow-up. I only suggest testing where it would actually change the plan, there’s no testing for testing’s sake. Our hair follicle analysis is a good example, it’s posted out to you and done from home.

How do I get my herbs and supplements if I’m not local?

Anything I prescribe is dispensed and delivered express straight to your door, anywhere in Australia. And I’m really deliberate about not over-prescribing, anything I recommend has a clear reason behind it, I don’t want you ending up relying on a cupboard full of supplements.

How many consultations will I need?

It varies, and I’ll be upfront with you about it. At the end of your first session I’ll give you a sense of how many consultations I’d suggest for your situation, so you know what you’re getting into. Some women want short-term, targeted support, others benefit from ongoing care over several months, with follow-ups to check how things are going and adjust the plan as things change.

What if online care isn’t the right fit for me?

Then I’ll say so. If online naturopathy isn’t the right fit for what’s going on I’ll talk it through with you and help you work out what would be, whether that’s a different approach or something in person, and if you’re on the Gold Coast, acupuncture runs in person at our Paradise Point clinic. If you’re not sure before booking, that’s honestly what the free 10-minute call is for.

How much does an online naturopath consultation cost?

Consultation fees are listed with our online booking, so you can check pricing and current availability anytime. If you’d rather talk it through first, the free 10-minute call is a no-pressure way to ask about costs, how many sessions might make sense for you, and whether I’m the right fit.

Is seeing a naturopath online different from seeing one in person?

The consultation itself is the same, a full history, your results read properly, and a plan you can actually follow. What changes is the convenience, you see me from home over secure video, testing is organised remotely, and anything prescribed is posted express anywhere in Australia. The one thing a naturopath online can’t do is a hands-on examination, and if that ever mattered for your situation I’d say so and point you to the right person.
