Belinda Byrnes
Brisbane
Belinda has been working in private practice as a qualified Naturopath and Nutritionist since 2014 and in the health industry for almost 20 years.
Belinda opened her private clinic in 2020 after relocating from regional NSW and has a special interest in treating eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. She joined the HWA team providing Positive Association Technique (PAT) from her Brisbane clinic from early 2023.
Having experienced her own issues with digestive and skin health in the past, finally getting relief after seeing a naturopath herself was what inspired her to study Naturopathy and Nutritional Medicine in 2009.
She is passionate about empowering families to have more control over their own health journey and implementing positive changes in a balanced and manageable way.
Having two young boys herself, she knows how challenging that can be and that everyone is on their own path, so it’s important to her that treatment always reflects that individuality.

Fiona Joiner
Canberra
Fiona completed her naturopathic studies in 2018 and works out of her clinic space in Woden. She loves working with a vast range of different health issues but finds gut health and all aspects of women’s health particularly interesting.
Fiona has a passion for helping people change their lives in practical and sustainable ways. Small changes can sometimes be more achievable and more permanent, leading the way to bigger and better change in someone’s life further down the track.
Healing is not a quick fix, but a process or journey that should be honoured with space and time. Fiona also believes that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, you just need to give it the right tools.
Fiona joined the HWA team in Canberra in mid 2024, and enjoys providing symptom relief for a variety of clients.
When she doesn’t have her head stuck in the latest herb book, you can find Fiona wandering around a National Park, cooking up something delicious in the kitchen or saving pottery ideas on Pinterest that she will probably never make.
