Introducing Maddie Lyons, a New Graduate of Naturopathy

Maddie Lyons is a naturopath who qualified in 2023 with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) from Endeavour College of Natural Health, Gold Coast campus. Her work is centred around herbal medicine, food as medicine, and lifestyle modifications to restore health and wellbeing. Maddie is passionate about the power of natural medicines and taking the gentle approach to treating ailments. Originally from Sydney, Maddie has ancestral roots in Ireland and senses a connection to its rich heritage of medicinal plants.

Maddie discovered naturopathy through her own health concerns. A naturopath helped to resolve a recurrent respiratory illness, uncovering mould exposure and nutrient deficiencies. Using herbs and nutrients, she was able to enhance her immune system and adapt to stressors, whilst addressing the root cause. Maddie discovered the importance of being heard, exploring diet and lifestyle, as well as environmental and emotional factors. 

Following her own experience with naturopathic medicine, working in childcare and hearing the health concerns of women and mothers in her life, Maddie decided to focus her studies on women’s reproductive health and children’s health conditions. 

Since graduating one year ago, Maddie has gained experience consulting in her online naturopathic business and recently joined the Apotheca team working in a clinic, retail and dispensary environment under the mentorship of naturopath and herbalist Anthia Koullouros. 

During her studies, Maddie worked for organic herb nursery Mudbrick Herb Cottage in Mudgeeraba, Queensland preparing herb orders, harvesting herb plants and manufacturing herbal products under the guidance of naturopath and herbalist Sandra Nanka. Maddie has previous experience producing a range of herbal skincare and self-care products and facilitating herbal medicine making workshops for Malakite Herbal in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast region. Most recently she presented workshops on herbal infused oils and holistic stress management.

Outside of naturopathy, Maddie is involved in sailing, regularly competing in offshore and inshore events. From smaller dinghies to bigger yachts, she enjoys working as a team and spending time on the water.
