Wellness Emporium Hero - Naturopaths Gold Coast MEET NATUROPATH CHAE THE WELLNESS EMPORIUM BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Naturopath Chae

Qualifications: B.Ed, Adv. Dip Naturopathy  

MEET GOLD COAST NATUROPATH CHAE

Hi! I’m Chae, Naturopath, Educator, Speaker & founder of The Wellness Emporium on the Gold Coast.

With over 8 years of experience helping thousands of clients as a naturopath, I’m passionate about inspiring, empowering, and educating others to reclaim their health through a holistic, personalised approach. My philosophy centres on uncovering the root causes of health concerns—never just treating symptoms. Through in-depth consultations, detailed health histories, functional testing, and emotional exploration, I create realistic and supportive wellness plans that meet each person exactly where they are.

I have a particular love for all things microbiome. My postgraduate studies and research span the gut, vaginal, and skin microbiomes, with a strong focus on the gut-brain connection and how emotions and trauma influence gut health (and how gut health, in turn, shapes our mental and emotional well-being). To deepen this expertise, I have completed advanced postgraduate training including:

  • a 6-month mentorship and education program with Dr. Moira Bradfield, qualifying as an Accredited Intimate Ecologist in the vaginal microbiome, and

  • Dr. Jason Hawrelak’s intensive 10-week course on Naturopathic and Functional Medicine Approaches to Gastrointestinal Health, earning certification as a Healthy Gut Practitioner with the Microbiome Restoration Centre.

My passion for digestive health, skin concerns, and women’s health stems from my own lived experience. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just 10 years old, much of my childhood was spent in and out of hospitals, navigating medications, flare-ups, and the uncertainty of chronic illness. Later, I also faced PCOS, endometriosis, cystic acne, hypothyroidism, and emotional challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, and OCD. I know firsthand how much health struggles can impact every part of life – relationships, career, even the food you eat and the clothes you wear.

But I also know the power of healing, of finding the right support, and of reclaiming your body. That’s why I created Heal Her Gut – to bring together my professional expertise and personal journey, and to offer even more education, connection, and hope to others walking the same path.

Today, I blend science, compassion, and lived wisdom to support my clients in creating long-lasting change. My mission is to show you that you don’t have to settle for just “getting by” – you can truly thrive.

Join me on this journey, and let’s transform your health from the inside out.

You might be eating well, moving regularly, and do You might be eating well, moving regularly, and doing your best to stay on top of things, but still feel tired, foggy, bloated, or just not quite yourself. It’s more common than you think. And sometimes, the missing piece isn’t what you’re doing, but what your body is quietly trying to cope with. Everyday toxins like mould, plastics, synthetic fragrances, pesticides and heavy metals can build up over time. This contributes to what we call your toxic load, which can impact your nervous system, hormones, gut and energy. Symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin breakouts, digestive changes, or mood shifts are often signs the body is under stress — not something to suppress, but something to understand. Low-tox living is about reducing unnecessary load so your body can function the way it’s designed to. You don’t need to change everything overnight — small, consistent swaps make a difference. Open your windows daily. Use natural cleaning products. Avoid heating food in plastic. Choose whole foods when possible. Support your detox pathways with rest, fibre and movement. If you’ve been feeling not quite right, it might be time to explore what your body’s trying to tell you. Supporting the whole picture, body, lifestyle, and environment, often brings the most lasting change. Book online or call (07) 5535 2474 to learn how we can support you through personalised, low-tox care. #lowtoxliving #toxicload #naturalhealthcare #fatiguesupport #brainfogrelief #guthealthmatters #holisticwellness #nontoxichome #lowtoxhome #chemicalfreehome #hormonebalance #lowtoxlife #chronicfatiguehelp
Some jobs don’t just make you tired — they sil Some jobs don’t just make you tired — they silently overload your body with toxins. 🧠💨 If you’re in one of these industries, your body is working overtime to filter what you’re exposed to: 💇‍♀️ Hairdressers: chemicals in dyes, bleach, aerosols, and styling sprays are absorbed through the skin and lungs every single day. 🔧 Mechanics: constant contact with solvents, fuels, and heavy metals puts stress on the liver and nervous system. 👷 Construction workers & painters: daily exposure to dust, adhesives, paints, and fumes can impact respiratory health and increase toxic load. 🧵 Textile workers: synthetic dyes and fabric treatments often contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals that affect hormone balance. 🍳 Food factory workers: repetitive contact with cleaning agents, plastic packaging, and preservatives adds up over time. If you work in these environments — your body deserves extra care. Focus on: • Daily detox support (hydration, fibre, sweating, deep breathing) • Clean, whole foods to nourish your liver • Reducing exposure where you can — switch to low-tox options at home to balance what you can’t control at work You don’t have to quit your job to protect your health — you just need awareness and consistent, gentle detox support. 🌿 Your body is designed to heal — give it the chance to do so. 🤍 Save this post for later and tag someone who works in one of these fields. #Naturopath #LowToxLiving #DetoxSupport #HolisticHealth #HormoneHealth #OccupationalHealth #LiverSupport #FunctionalWellness
Making your home low-tox doesn’t mean doing ever Making your home low-tox doesn’t mean doing everything at once. It’s about thoughtful swaps that support your family’s health without the overwhelm. Here’s how we’ve started shifting toward a more conscious way of living at home: Go Natural We use organic cotton, bamboo or hemp for bedding and clothes. These materials are softer on kids’ skin and free from harsh dyes or pesticide residue. Bonus: they’re better for the planet too. Clean Smarter Traditional cleaning products are full of chemicals that linger in the air and on surfaces. We now use plant-based cleaners or make our own—Koala Eco has been a favourite in our home. Kinder Skincare Children’s skin absorbs more than we think. We’ve swapped out soaps and lotions for options without parabens, sulphates or synthetic fragrance. Lately, I’ve been using Bleum on both myself and my little one and we love it. Toys That Care We look for toys made from natural or recycled materials and labelled BPA, PVC and phthalate-free. Wooden toys and organic plush are great options. Always ask brands for their safety info, it matters. Breathe Easy Airing out the house daily helps more than you’d expect. We avoid synthetic air fresheners and use essential oils or fresh plants to keep things light. Air purifiers can also help, especially in smaller spaces. Eat Clean Organic fruits, veggies and whole foods help cut down exposure to pesticides and additives. This was one of the first changes we made—simple, nourishing swaps make a real difference over time. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about doing what we can, when we can. Save this post or pass it along to someone looking to make a few conscious shifts at home. #LowToxLiving #EcoParenting #ToxinFreeHome #HealthyHomeTips #NonToxicLiving #CleanParenting #GoNatural #CleanSmarter #KinderSkincare #EatClean #NaturalChoices #LowToxKids #MindfulLiving #HolisticHome
We’re exposed to toxins every single day — thr We’re exposed to toxins every single day — through what we eat, drink, and use in our homes. But the good news? You can start lightening that load with a few simple swaps. 🌿 Here’s what I recommend to my clients: • Choose organic where you can, especially with animal products — it makes a huge difference to your toxic exposure. • Filter your water. Tap water contains heavy metals, chlorine, and other chemicals your body has to work hard to clear. • Skip large predatory fish like tuna, swordfish, and shark — which carry higher mercury levels. • Avoid canned foods, plastic bottles, and plastic packaging. Glass or stainless steel are safer options for food storage. • And when it comes to cooking — trade Teflon for stainless steel, ceramic, or cast iron. These changes may seem small, but they have a powerful ripple effect on your liver, hormones, and overall wellbeing. Start where you can — your body will thank you for it. 🌸 #LowToxLiving #Naturopath #HolisticHealth #DetoxSupport #HormoneHealth #FunctionalWellness
You might be surprised to know that the air inside You might be surprised to know that the air inside your home can often be more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air quality can affect how well you sleep, your energy, your immune system and even your mood. And because many of us spend most of our day inside — working, cooking, sleeping — it makes sense to pay attention to what we’re breathing in. Dust, pet dander, mould, chemical cleaning sprays, gas appliances and even synthetic candles can all contribute to poor air quality. Over time, this can affect people living with asthma or allergies, and can even irritate those who usually feel well. The good news is, there are simple, low tox steps you can take to improve your indoor air. Start by ventilating your space. Open windows daily to let fresh air in. If you live in an area with poor outdoor air, try an air purifier with a HEPA filter — these can remove dust, pollen, smoke and other tiny particles that float around unseen. Adding houseplants can help, too. Plants like peace lilies, pothos and spider plants are not only easy to care for, they also support cleaner air. Just avoid overwatering to prevent mould. And don’t forget about what you’re cleaning with. Switch to natural cleaners like vinegar, bicarb soda and castile soap — especially if you have little ones or pets at home. A few small changes can make a big difference in how your home feels — and how you feel in it. Need help figuring out what swaps are best for your space or sensitivities? 📞 Call us on (07) 5535 2474 💻 Or book online today with one of our Naturopaths . #lowtoxlife #airqualitymatters #naturalcleaning #lowtoxhome #hepaairpurifier #nontoxicliving #breathebetter #ventilationtips #greencleaning #lowtoxliving #cleaneraircleanermind #consciousliving
Our bodies are exposed to small amounts of toxins Our bodies are exposed to small amounts of toxins every single day — from what we eat, drink, and even put on our skin. Here are some of the most common culprits hiding in plain sight: • Heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminium) – in water or contaminated foods • BPA – in plastic water bottles, toys, and food containers • Phthalates – in fragrances and beauty products • EDCs (endocrine disrupting chemicals) – in personal care and cleaning products Knowledge is the first step to reducing your exposure 🌿 CTA: Want to learn practical ways to support your body’s detox pathways naturally?

We’re all busy, and grabbing takeaway is often t We’re all busy, and grabbing takeaway is often the easiest option. But what we don’t often consider is how plastic packaging could be affecting our health — especially when heat is involved. Many common takeaway containers, including single-use plastics and cling wrap, can leach microplastics and harmful chemicals like phthalates and BPA when exposed to heat, oily food, or sunlight. These substances have been linked to hormone disruption, gut imbalance, and a growing body burden of toxins over time. Microplastics don’t just come from ocean pollution — they’re on your dinner plate more often than you think. And if you’re reheating leftovers in the same container they came in, that risk increases. The good news? You don’t need to stop enjoying convenience food altogether. A few simple swaps go a long way in reducing your toxic exposure: ✔ Transfer takeaway food into glass or ceramic ✔ Reheat only in microwave-safe, plastic-free dishes ✔ Keep a set of reusable cutlery in your bag ✔ Skip the cling wrap on hot leftovers ✔ Choose cafes that use compostable or non-plastic packaging It’s about reducing the everyday exposures that add up. And small steps count. If you’re looking for personalised support to reduce your toxic load and make practical changes that suit your lifestyle, we’re here to help. 📞 Call us on (07) 5535 2474 or book online today for a consultation #lowtoxlife #lowtoxliving #microplastics #hormonedisruption #chemicalfreehome #guthealthsupport #safecooking #sustainabilitytips #toxinfreeliving #environmentalhealth #lowtoxhome #consciousliving #simplewellness #nontoxicchoices
