Cath Lilburn
Welcome!
If you are looking for clarity about your health, you are in the right place.
You may be feeling more tired than you used to.
Your hormones, sleep or mood may have shifted.
You might be recovering from illness and wanting to feel stronger again.
Or perhaps you simply know your body well enough to sense that something isn’t quite right.
When we work together, we slow things down and look at the whole picture. Your symptoms, your life stage, your nervous system, your immune health and the demands placed on you day to day. I am interested in patterns, not just problems.
I don’t believe in quick fixes. I believe in strong foundations.
We begin by restoring what steadies you. Nourishment, sleep, emotional balance, movement and connection. From there, I prescribe herbal medicine with care and precision, supported by targeted nutrition and current research. My work also includes the therapeutic use of medicinal mushrooms, particularly in supporting immune resilience and long-term vitality.
For over 25 years, I have worked at the intersection of traditional herbal wisdom and evidence-based practice. What guides me is simple. The body has an innate intelligence. Healing begins when we create the conditions for it to respond.
Consultations are available face to face in Bulli, Illawarra, and via Zoom for patients across Australia.
If you are ready for personalised, steady and deeply considered care, I would be honoured to support you.

Meet Cath
Naturopathic Herbalist | Bulli, Illawarra
When you work with me, you’re working with someone who has spent over 25 years immersed in both the art and science of herbal medicine.
My clinical foundation was shaped by the late Dorothy Hall, one of Australia’s most respected traditional herbalists. From her, I learned that herbal medicine is not simply about plants. It is about listening deeply, respecting individuality, and treating the person rather than just the condition. That philosophy continues to guide every consultation.
Over time, I have integrated this traditional training with formal study in evidence-based complementary medicine. This allows me to bridge herbal wisdom with modern clinical research in a way that is thoughtful and grounded. For you, this means care that is both personalised and precise, supported by science and shaped by experience.
I have a particular interest in perimenopause support, immune health and the therapeutic use of medicinal mushrooms, including Reishi. My published work in this area has been recognised by the NHAA and informs aspects of my clinical practice.
I provide face-to-face naturopathic consultations in Bulli, Illawarra, as well as Zoom consultations for patients across Australia.
In 2024, I became an Australian Ambassador for the Integrative and Naturopathic Medicine World Congress, reflecting my ongoing commitment to integrative healthcare and international dialogue.
At the heart of my work is this belief. The body has an innate intelligence. When we listen carefully and respond thoughtfully, it knows how to recalibrate. My role is to guide that process with care, clarity and depth.
