Since 2005, I’ve combined empathy and sensitivity (gained from the “school of hard knocks”) with practical and evidence-based skills. I assist and empower my clients to reach their health and wellness potential, and work with them on long and short-term issues. By addressing physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social health, I help clients achieve a vital life. A vitality built from a foundation of healthy thoughts, optimal breathing, hydration, nutrition, sleep and movement. As a qualified naturopath and manufacturing herbalist, I use herbs, food and flower essences as my medicine. I simply use these to stimulate your body’s innate vital force, so that it can rebalance naturally, while also working collaboratively with your medical care team when required. I am a qualified Practitioner of Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology (CHEK Level 2) and Personal Trainer, so I can also incorporate breathwork and movement coaching into my offering. Herbalism is my passion. It wasn’t until I started studying naturopathy (in particular the herbal subjects) that I realised my life experiences had led me to this point. I joined the dots, and found my purpose. I’m so grateful to now have the opportunity to follow my passion and purpose, and to help others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/6136df7e-7089-4ab6-8c31-fee856cf80cd/Raelene+Callaway+CHEK+naturopath+herbalist+herbs+natural+health+wellness+nutrition+nutritionist+holistic+coach.jpg About Me - What you mightn’t know… I love a challenge. In my 30’s I took up Taiko (Japanese drumming), and appeared with my group on Australia’s Got Talent. We made it to the semi-finals, where I ruptured my achilles on live TV and spent the next 12 weeks in a moon boot. Totally worth it. At 42 years of age, I took up surfing, my most favourite activity EVER. I’m now having a crack at mountain-biking on the local trails, doing my best to not sustain a concussion (again). I just stick to the green trails at the moment, and I’ve ordered a whiz bang full-face bike-helmet, just to be sure. Recently, for my 54th birthday, I was gifted a surf-skate (never skated before). That should be interesting. Stay tuned to hear about my shredding (hopefully not the knees and elbows). I’m waiting for the new helmet to arrive before I hit the skate park. I love gardening and I dream of self-sufficiency. My partner and I are in the process of building a permaculture/biodynamic veggie and fruit garden, complete with a spiral herb bed. I love cooking with chocolate. It’s a health food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/a7dd1e21-cdbe-40b9-bfc8-60fe00b7cc5f/Spiral+sml.jpg About Me - My Story Once upon a time I was addicted to the gym. After my second son was born, I bounced straight back into it. I weighed 53Kg and looked fit and athletic. I thought I ate well - I was careful with my nutrition. But I wasn’t healthy. My body hurt when I exercised, and it hurt even more when I didn’t. I took the usual medical route of specialists, cortisone injections - it felt like I’d tried everything, but nothing helped. It wasn’t until I found a CHEK practitioner who helped me change my nutrition, and the way I moved and breathed, that I found relief. That wasn’t the end of the healing process, but I’ll save that story for a blog post. I then trained as a CHEK practitioner myself, and began to help clients who were in the same boat. Inspired by what I’d learnt, I wanted to increase my knowledge and skills, and I graduated as a naturopath in 2017. Once I started treating clients using naturopathy, I realised that I had some heavy-duty power tools in my toolbox! The learning wasn’t over, however, and it was time for me to uplevel. It seems we’re always learning (would you agree?). The last 10 years have been the most stressful and challenging of my life, and the lessons hard-learned. (Another subject for a blog post one day, if I’m brave enough.) So, finally here I am, out the other side. My toolbox is open, ready to help you level up, and I’m ready to gently encourage you to bust through those roadblocks that keep holding you back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/a84e0b5e-a1cb-4389-9b1f-c1329e055e67/CHEK+%283+%C3%97+3+cm%29.png About Me CHEK Institute https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/787e81c3-1b48-4570-8536-366b343f71c7/NHAA+%286+%C3%97+3+cm%29+on+wt+background.png About Me Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg About Me https://www.thevillagenaturopath.com.au/services daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/1650535444841-IV9691O3OULJEL97AUK7/unsplash-image-NFvdKIhxYlU.jpg Services - Initial Naturopathic Assessment Let’s play detective and find the root cause of your issue. For complex conditions, this may not be teased out in the first appointment, but it’s where we start. I’ll ask you questions about your general health, your past medical history, your family medical history, your immediate issue, and what your short and long term goals are. I may take your vital statistics (eg blood pressure, pulse, weight, height etc) and/or look at your nails and tongue. I may prescribe a herbal blend, a tea, a flower essence or a simple nutritional or herbal supplement, and I almost always send you away with some achievable nutritional and/or lifestyle modifications. You might leave with a diary or questionnaire to complete. I determine a plan of action - an early stage treatment plan - taking into account your long term goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/bf3eccb6-1256-4624-bc91-61cf8627abd8/Website+photos+033.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/3cff1168-0d0f-4f33-9a64-1dde5ba9ef67/03+Australian+Bush+Flower+Essences+Naturopath+Herbalist+Natural+Medicine+St+Helens+Stieglitz.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/7f90e788-28ac-4983-b493-f728f63482a1/dean+pjk+for+website+prone+jacknife+swiss+ball+CHEK.jpg Services https://www.thevillagenaturopath.com.au/home daily 1.0 2022-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/e2d35fc1-8320-46ca-b9bc-51e45fe0575a/Weightloss.jpg Home - Welcome! Hi, I’m Raelene Callaway. I’m a qualified naturopath and manufacturing herbalist, functional and holistic exercise practitioner, mum of two young men (who’ve grown up way too fast), and a nature lover. When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll likely find me in the surf, out in the garden, bushwalking, or turning herbs into medicine. I believe that social health is as important as physical, mental and emotional health, which is why the term “it takes a village” has special meaning for me - we all need to call on each other to help us move through this life with ease and grace. There’s a good chance I’ve been where you are. I always work within the realms of what you’re capable of, meeting you where YOU’RE at, to make your goals achievable. Whether you’re raising a family, struggling with stress or a health condition, wanting help to get moving again, or transitioning through a new phase of life, know that you’re not alone. It takes a village, and I’m here to help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/0700f76a-6f47-4827-929f-48b4b5491624/natural+health+outdoors+bare+feet+holistic+healing+naturopath+herbalist+st+helens+east+coast+tasmania.jpg Home . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/23727413-1570-45ea-87f9-7a3a1b702e58/Breathing+meditation+herb+holistic+healing+naturopath+herbalist+st+helens+east+coast+tasmania.jpg Home - Workshops Join Mindful May https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/33a124c5-47c2-4d72-aacd-b355c4337486/holistic+healing+naturopath+herbalist+st+helens+east+coast+tasmania.jpg Home - Naturopathic Consultations Work With Me https://www.thevillagenaturopath.com.au/consultation-fees daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/3cff1168-0d0f-4f33-9a64-1dde5ba9ef67/03+Australian+Bush+Flower+Essences+Naturopath+Herbalist+Natural+Medicine+St+Helens+Stieglitz.jpg Consultation Fees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/1651294284452-Z6PIBEIWGDLGIAFURS87/unsplash-image-NFvdKIhxYlU.jpg Consultation Fees - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/8d9e0e64-a04b-455e-acd7-32a008214c12/Website+photos+033.jpg Consultation Fees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/1651294172363-KJF9T9EKRWEB6BE0NFEK/Raelene+Callaway+The+Village+Naturopath+CHEK+Corrective+Holistic+Exercise+Kinesiology+Lifestyle+Coaching+Herbalist+Stieglitz+St+Helens+Tasmania Consultation Fees - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/4619ef21-8d7f-40be-bc99-0761b6ce7cd4/dean+pjk+for+website+prone+jacknife+swiss+ball+CHEK.png Consultation Fees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/1650692205918-QTYBSGKS51SCOVHDWN3I/Naturopath+Herbalist+Natural+Medicine+St+Helens+Stieglitz+Acute+care.jpg Consultation Fees https://www.thevillagenaturopath.com.au/privacy daily 0.75 2022-05-19 https://www.thevillagenaturopath.com.au/appointments daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62344fca0be99430ecba883c/1650521365346-3V6MNFJG1581UKH8Q5N7/unsplash-image-W8Qqn1PmQH0.jpg Appointments - Book an Appointment Please message or phone me directly, as I am accepting new clients for acute consultations and flower essence consultations only at this time.
