Kathleen, Sunshine Coast

The body as an intelligent, responsive system.

Kathleen Leishman is a Clinical Western Herbalist providing personalised herbal medicine consultations for adults and children. She works with those experiencing depletion or dysregulation — addressing symptoms holistically while respecting the body's natural capacity to restore balance.

Her work is rooted in the understanding that healing emerges not from rigid protocols, but from thoughtful, whole-person support. She brings careful observation and pattern recognition to every consultation — looking at the full picture of who a person is, not just the symptom in front of her.

Beyond the clinic

Kathleen has worked extensively with children and adolescents, including those with autism, ADHD, and additional support needs.
