In this interview, Tayla speaks with Freesia Muhamad about her journey from pharmacy to naturopathy, research, clinical practice, international placement and business ownership.
Freesia shares honest and practical advice for current and future naturopathy students, including the importance of patience, persistence, time management, placements, mentorship and looking after yourself while studying.

Some key takeaways from the conversation:

🌿 Your pathway does not need to be linear

🌿 Clinical placements can shape your confidence, interests and future direction

🌿 Naturopathy can lead to many different opportunities, including clinical practice, research, product development, business and integrative health

🌿 Sleep, food, movement, stress management and support are the foundation — for both practitioners and students

🌿 Don’t be afraid to ask questions, seek mentors and connect with alumni

🌿 Go back to basics: lifestyle, nutrition and patient-centred care matter deeply

🌿 Be who you are and help carry the profession forward
This conversation is a reminder that students do not need to have everything figured out straight away. Keep learning, stay curious, take opportunities where you can, and lean into the support available around you.

We interviewed Freesia at her fantastic business, Kenmore Health & Nutrition who provide a huge range of wellness products and naturopathic services to the Brisbane city community.

A huge thank you to Freesia for sharing her time, experience and encouragement with the SCU naturopathy student community. If any of our members would like to ask Freesia a question, please reach out to us!
