Rebecca Lang is a passionate naturopath, entrepreneur, and advocate for natural medicine. With a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and advanced diplomas in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine, and Nutritional Medicine, Rebecca has spent her career blending traditional wisdom with modern health science. She’s also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Mental Health and Neuroscience, adding depth to her understanding of the mind-body connection.

Rebecca’s journey into natural health wasn’t a straight path. She started with a background in taxation, bookkeeping, marketing, and financial planning, skills she now applies to running her businesses. While studying, she worked in a hospital, alongside specialists and surgeons, and in pharmacies, which gave her valuable insights into the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Today, Rebecca wears many hats. She runs a thriving naturopathic clinic, a popular juice bar and vegan café, and a publishing company. She’s also a co-author of three books, a business mentor, and a retreat facilitator. Through her internship program, she supports and inspires up-and-coming naturopaths and nutritionists to thrive in their careers.

Rebecca’s mission is simple but powerful: to elevate natural medicine and help therapists build successful, respected practices within the healthcare system. She’s deeply committed to creating a future where natural and conventional medicine work hand in hand for better health outcomes.
