Peta Carter — Naturopath and Registered Nurse

My Story

As a child I was very unwell — struggling with asthma, eczema, and persistent digestive issues. My mother, alongside the conventional treatments I was receiving in hospital, sought the help of a naturopath. It was a wonderful complement to my conventional care.

I always say western medicine saved my life as a child, and naturopathy gave me improved quality of life and lasting wellbeing.

That experience shaped my entire career. I became a Registered Nurse in 2000, working in acute areas including post-anaesthetics, anaesthetics, and intensive care nursing. I saw first-hand the power of conventional medicine — and also where natural health support can play a complementary role.

In 2009, I qualified as a Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science and an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, and Nutrition. For over a decade I practiced in busy clinics across Brisbane and Toowoomba in Queensland, helping hundreds of clients find their path to better health.

My family and I moved to New Zealand for a lifestyle change, and I now offer naturopathy services online to clients across both NZ and Australia. I continue to practice as a Registered Nurse alongside my naturopathy work.

My Approach

I believe there is a valuable role for both conventional medicine and evidence-based natural medicine. As a practicing Registered Nurse and Naturopath, I offer what I believe is a truly integrated approach to healthcare.

I enjoy working alongside your GPs and specialists to achieve the best health outcomes. My approach is rooted in evidence-based natural medicine — combining herbal medicine, evidence-based nutrition, and lifestyle modifications with a deep understanding of conventional medical science.

Every health support protocol is personalised. I focus on understanding root causes rather than masking symptoms, using functional assessment where appropriate to build a complete picture of your health. Whether it's hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, or skin conditions — I look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.
