Hello and welcome! I’m Elizabeth Santos – Your Physiotherapist, Naturopath and Herbalist in the Adelaide foothills.

With a 15 years of experience as a physiotherapist and 10 as a naturopath I have experience treating a wide range of conditions and ailments, across all ages and stages of life. 

My deepest passion and work now lies in women’s health, particularly helping women with reproductive, sexual health, pregnancy and postpartum health and genitourinary conditions. I offer in-clinic and tele-health consults.

Care provided is always as part of your bigger picture health team. Rarely will I work with anyone who isn’t also seeing medical practitioners, specialists, allied health professionals or other Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners.

I’ll work alongside your other practitioners, and with your consent, communicate my part in your care, following best-practice guidelines to manage your condition.

Functional Pathology Testing through NutriPATH, or other labs (RN Labs) is a valuable tool to aid clinical reasoning and naturopathic assessment and treatment of hormones, gut microbiome, vaginal microbiome and more.

Testing guides evidence-based treatment protocols and provides a baseline for reassessment of your progress at a later stage! DUTCH hormone testing also available on request.

Elizabeth will work collaboratively alongside your medical practitioner to support you in understanding your test results.
