Welcome to Grace Rivas
NATUROPATHIC & FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
Evidence-Based Practice
"True health can only emerge when we look beyond isolated symptoms to understand the whole person, including their diet and lifestyle habits, genetics, environment, mental and emotional states"
Welcome, I’m Grace Rivas, a Naturopathic Practitioner and Functional Nutritionist dedicated to helping you uncover and address the underlying causes of your health problems.
In my clinical practice, I play the role of a Health Detective, committed to investigating the hidden factors affecting your health.
​
Underlying your health problems we often find a combination of factors, including; suboptimal gastrointestinal function, nutritional deficiencies, microbiome imbalances, poor detoxification channels, environmental triggers; mould, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals, chronic stress, parasites or bacterial infections, inherited pro-inflammatory activation or anticoagulant deficiencies, genetic polymorphisms affecting gene expression, decreased key enzymatic activities and much more!
Rather than simply masking or suppressing your symptoms, I take a Functional, Integrative and Holistic Approach. By blending Naturopathic Medicine, Nutritional Biochemistry, Functional Pathology Testing and Lifestyle and Dietary Counseling, I support your body’s innate intelligence to restore 'homeostasis' or internal equilibrium.
​
My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, alchemising modern scientific research with the wisdom of naturopathic and functional nutritional medicine and years of clinical expertise that allows me to provide individualised treatments to your personal needs.
Whether you're seeking support for hormonal balance, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, manage stress, nutrition guidance, chronic disease or other health concerns, I'm here to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way on your health journey!
Let's work together to create a healthier, more vibrant version of you, one that reflects your full potential.

I suffered from regular severe vertigo episodes due to Meniere´s disease to the point of not being able to work. The medication prescribed by my doctor gave me bad side effects and didn´t help me managing my symptoms. With the help of Grace, I was able to manage my symptoms, reducing in intensity to the point of getting into full remission. Grace is not only a highly knowledgeable and competent professional. She´s also very easy going, nurturing, caring, empathetic, and has a genuine passion for health and for helping others. I can´t thank her enough for all the help and support that she has given me during my health challenges. If you ´re struggling with Meniere´s or any other chronic condition, I recommend you seeing Grace. Rosa Garcia

I don't even know where to start! I popped into a health store, whilst on holiday in Australia and encountered the wonderful Grace! After, a brief chat about what a naturopath does, I decided to book an appointment with her to discuss my hormonal health. I cannot recommend her services more! Grace was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. This consultation was my first experience with a health professional where I have felt listened to and empowered. I have hope again, (for the first time in a long time), that I can make positive lifestyle changes to improve my health. Most importantly, I have been given the tools to make informed decisions about my health going forward. She also does remote consultations and so I will be looking at contracting her services again when I return back home. Culture Clash

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Grace Rivas, Naturopath, for her exceptional care and expertise. She played a pivotal role in getting to the bottom of my health issues, and her deep understanding of blood work and holistic health has truly changed my life. Grace accurately diagnosed me with Hemochromatosis, something that had been overlooked before. With her professional plan, which included blood donation and the right vitamins, my mind is now clearer, and my energy levels have soared. Her wisdom and confidence in natural medicine gave me the assurance I needed to follow her guidance. Thanks to Grace, I am on the right path to better health and well-being. I highly recommend anyone struggling with their health to contact Grace Rivas, Naturopath. She is truly remarkable at what she does, and I am forever grateful for her support. Leith James

​Grace Rivas is a highly educated, warm, knowledgeable health detective! A wonderful Naturopathic & Nutritional Practitioner on the Gold Coast. Grace helped me through a challenging time with my health in 2023 when I had several concerning issues happening and doctors could not help. My hair was falling out among many other symptoms. Working with Grace enabled me to find hope, I felt seen, heard and supported. Grace was able to give me answers other practitioners could not give me. Grace is dedicated, intelligent and wise. Grace's ability to explain how the body works and why it does what it does is incredible. Grace worked with me over a period of 12 months and thankfully my hair has grown back and many other symptoms have eased and disappeared. I feel like I can tell Grace anything and she listens with so much attentive warmth that in itself is healing. My health is my wealth and investing in it with Grace as my intelligent guide is priceless. I am eternally grateful for her warmth and sensitivity. Melissa Redman
