Elizabeth Santos is an Author, Researcher and practising Women’s Health Naturopath in the Adelaide Hills.

Qualified physiotherapist, mother, passionate advocate for women’s health across the lifespan, Elizabeth has recently published original research looking at the sexual health experiences of breastfeeding mothers in Australia, investigating the overlooked ‘Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation.’ Her research is under publication in Midwifery Journal.

With over twenty years of clinical experience, she has studied and worked extensively in the field of women’s health across both physiotherapy and naturopathy. Recently she has furthered her education in the emerging field of Matriatrics with Dr Oscar Serrallach, completing his Matriatrics training program for health professionals in 2026, in addition to postgraduate studies in integrative women’s health. While her clinical interests are broad and encompass reproductive health, pregnancy care, postpartum and perimenopause, her heart lies in caring for mothers, and being sensitive to their unique healthcare needs, which is at the forefront of everything she does.

While her work is very important to her, motherhood is too, and she dedicates much of her time to caring for her children and basking in their glory. Bushwalking, oil painting and writing are other hobbies she enjoys, as well as attending and hosting women’s circles.

We further recognise and respect that the Peramangk have for millennia had a deep and intrinsic connection to the land and respect their ongoing right to maintain that connection both spiritually and culturally.
