Hi, I’m Leonie Satori
Naturopath, Herbalist & Natural Menopause Mentor
I’m a naturopath based in Australia, specialising in perimenopause and natural remedies for women’s health. My passion is supporting women through the often-overlooked transition of menopause, helping you understand your symptoms and find gentle, nature-based solutions that genuinely work in daily life.
My own health journey has not only shaped who I am but also how I work. It’s given me the insight, tools, and lived experience to create a space that supports women with honesty, compassion, and grounded wisdom.
I founded Sundala Health in 2013, and what began as a local naturopathic clinic has now evolved into an online sanctuary where women can find guidance, reassurance, and practical natural health support throughout perimenopause and beyond.
Below, you’ll find more about my personal journey – from sensitive soul to herbal product maker, and founder of Sundala Health.
The Making of a Naturopath
From a young age, it was clear that I was highly sensitive, to foods, people, animals, loud noises, you name it.
Throughout childhood, my health was so-so. I wasn’t thriving, but I wasn’t in hospital either. While other kids ran around effortlessly, I often struggled to keep up. I was in and out of the GP’s office for round after round of antibiotics, which at the time, didn’t seem unusual. That was just “how I was.”
But behind the scenes, I was struggling to fit in and to find my place in the world.
My curiosity about health and nutrition started early. By the time I was 12 or 13, I was preparing many of my own meals. That was the spark. My love for whole foods and plant-based nutrition began to take root.
In my young adult years, after trying out different ways of eating, I started noticing real shifts in how I felt physically and emotionally. Studying nutrition and health deepened my self-awareness. I began to understand my sensitivities not as flaws, but as signals. That changed everything.
Formal Studies in Natural Medicine
I started with massage therapy, worked in a health food store, and soon began formal study in Naturopathy and Western Herbal Medicine. What I learned in the classroom, I applied almost instantly in my work which made everything click. I was in my element.
During my first year, I picked up an elective in Ayurvedic Medicine, and fell in love with it. Before long, I was studying both Western Naturopathy and Eastern (Ayurvedic) medicine side by side. It stretched out my study time, but it gave me a broader and richer foundation. The contrasts, overlaps, and unique insights between the two systems still inform my clinical work today.
Life Lessons – The Inner Work
Despite all my training, my health still didn’t feel right. I didn’t have a clear diagnosis, but I wasn’t well.
I had also found myself in an emotionally abusive relationship. I poured my energy into trying to help my partner, believing my knowledge could change things. But it couldn’t.
I lost myself in that relationship. On the outside, I was functioning. But inside, I was filled with anxiety, sadness, and exhaustion. I stayed far longer than I should have, hoping things would shift. Eventually, I realised how much of myself I had given away. Leaving was one of the hardest and most important decisions I ever made.
It felt like pulling the plug on a bath full of murky water. As the weight lifted, clarity returned. I saw how deeply our emotions, relationships, and inner narratives affect our health.
Stepping into My Work with Depth
That experience became a turning point in my work. I dove into learning more about emotional health, relationships, communication, and vibrational healing. I revisited my studies in flower essences, counselling, and subtle energy medicine.
And with that, something shifted in me, and my clinic. I began working with clients at a deeper, more intuitive level. I could see the whole person more clearly: their lifestyle, their story, their internal world.
I realised that my lifelong sensitivity wasn’t a burden, it was my strength. It allowed me to feel, understand, and guide others with greater empathy.
While my formal training laid the foundation, it’s been my lived experiences, with health, heartbreak, healing that keep me grounded, sincere, and real in my practice.
Even now, I’m still learning, still healing, still evolving. But that’s the beauty of this path. With each step, I become a more compassionate practitioner and a more wholehearted human, and I bring that to every woman I support.
