Meet Robyn Thompson
Natural Health Specialist
I am a Naturopathic Practitioner, Herbalist, and Homeopath with over 40 years of experience. In my practice I use a combination of Homeopathic and Herbal Medicines and any other supplements that are needed. The focus is on the mind, body and spirit. Blood analysis is used in the face to face appointments along with Mineral analysis (Oligoscan) if required. Since 2024 I have been able to incorporate my love for horses and have added Equine Therapy to my practice.
My journey began as a 17 year old with a Chemistry degree at Monash University, followed by five years living in London and working as a Research Chemist.
During my time in England, I developed a passion for Herbal Medicine, prompting me to to study under the esteemed Herbalist Dorothy Hall in Sydney after my return to Australia. After earning a 3-year Herbal Diploma, I pursued an additional 4 years of Homeopathy studies in Melbourne. Along the way, amongst other modalities, I gained knowledge in Flower Essence Therapy, Advanced Iridology, and Blood Analysis, eventually becoming a Natural Fertility Consultant and obtaining a Bachelor of Health Science in Complementary Medicine.
I practiced for seven years working with Ruth Trickey in Clifton Hill before establishing my own practices in Caulfield and Malvern.
In 2000, I founded the iconic Botanica Medicines in Malvern, which I sold in 2020 to move out of the city to Torquay.
In Torquay I have a full dispensary, an office for Telehealth appointments and a lovely clinic called the Yoga Farm nearby in Mount Duneed for face-to-face appointments. This is also where the horses live and we pracice Equine Therapy there
My focus is on treating each individual as completely unique, tailoring treatments to their specific needs. I take pride in supporting my clients through their health journeys specializing in fertility, cancer (working with an Oncologist), gut health, women’s and men’s health, preconception care, and stress-related conditions, always considering the whole person.
I am deeply passionate about health, the environment, and our beautiful animal kingdom.
I continually seek new ways to empower my clients to reach their full health potential. With my recent studies in Equine Therapy, I am excited to offer this incredible modality at the Yoga Farm, with bookings available now.
What do I do?

Gut Health/IMMUNITY
