Meet Julianne.
I’m a degree-qualified Naturopath, Herbalist, functional and clinical practitioner, author, speaker, self-confessed “herb nerd”, whole-food foodie, and Mum.
For more than 25 years I’ve worked across private clinical practice, hospitals, fitness and community health, elite sport, and corporate wellness. Somewhere amongst all of that, my clinical focus sharpened into something very specific: chronic, complex health conditions and their inseparable relationship with the gut, immunity and stress.
Hi there,
I’m Julianne Grant…
This isn't just a professional interest - it's personal. I've lived through severe post-viral fatigue, autoimmunity, and mould/mycotoxin illness myself. Getting well again taught me, first-hand, how much of chronic and complex illness traces back to gut function, immune regulation, and the load our bodies are quietly carrying - physical, toxic, and emotional.
My health experience shapes how I practice today. My patients are usually navigating immune conditions, such as autoimmunity, integrative oncology and cancer survivorship, post-viral syndromes, mould and biotoxin illness, recurrent infections, or other complex chronic disease states. In almost every case, gut health is part of the picture - sometimes the whole story, sometimes one piece of a much bigger puzzle.
How I work…
I'm not a fan of guesswork. Every case I take on starts with a genuinely thorough intake: your full health history, lifestyle, current symptoms, family history, and existing blood work or pathology. I review every piece of information before I first see you.
From there, where it adds specific clarity - not just more data - I layer in functional testing and genetic testing, to understand not just what's happening in your body, but why, and what that means for how we work on your health, long-term. This is the thinking behind Innately YOU, my range of in-depth functional medicine packages, and it's the same care I bring to every 1:1 appointment.
Why gut & immune health?
For the love of herbs.
I have a deep appreciation of herbal medicine and mother nature. For 14 years, as a self-proclaimed "herb nerd," I researched, wrote, educated, and presented for a prominent Australian herbal medicine company - unravelling the science behind our body's response to stressors, infection, toxins, and immune dysregulation such as autoimmunity, infections, chronic inflammatory response syndrome, metabolic dysregulation, and cancer, alongside the research behind herbal medicine, food as medicine, nutrient supplementation, and lifestyle change.
I'm now in full-time clinical practice, but that passion for herbal medicine hasn't gone anywhere - I still co-host Two Herb Nerds, a herbal medicine podcast, and mentor other practitioners in herbal medicine.
My Mission.
My mission is to educate you about your own unique biology - not just to hand you a protocol, but to help you genuinely understand why you feel the way you do, what's driving it, and what to do about it. Health knowledge is powerful, and understanding your own body is one of the most valuable things I can give you.
Because when you understand your body - really understand it - you can make informed, confident decisions about your health long after our work together ends. That's what living your healthiest, most vibrant life looks like: not dependence on a practitioner, but genuine self-knowledge you carry with you for good.
