Poorna Menon is a US-licensed Naturopath, Mind-Body Medicine practitioner, and Craniosacral therapist, with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, one of the pioneering institutions in science-based natural medicine.

With her background in working with chronic, complex illness, she is grounded in supporting the synergetic balance of a client's mental, physical, and emotional well-being needs through the integration of Naturopathic modalities, a detailed study of the client's history, and a tailored approach that often incorporates Mind-Body modalities and craniosacral therapy. Addressing the root cause, so that clients can experience sustained recovery, is a Naturopathic principle at the forefront of her approach.

She has worked with great focus in the mental health arena, running several programmes addressing the Management of Mental Health beyond the use of meds. Her approach in mental wellness is to lead clients on their journey of recovery initially through their "Mind-Body" or psychophysiology, using a 'bottom up' approach of nervous system regulation & Mind-Body integration (vs the more conventional top down approaches that involve talk-based therapies/psychotherapy). As a client's Mind-Body begins re-integrating and they are able to recognise and experience safety/regulation in their Mind-Body, she weaves in top-down approaches so as to achieve holistic, sustainable recovery.
