About the Naturopath
Leila Abitbol ~ BHSc
Hi, I’m Leila.
My passion for natural health began early, sparked by visits to a naturopath in my childhood and nurtured through a lifelong love of whole food cooking. From a young age, I was fascinated by science—especially human biology—and that curiosity naturally evolved into a deep interest in how the body functions, heals, and thrives.
I began my formal studies in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine but soon felt the pull toward herbal medicine and the broader, more integrative approach of naturopathy. That led me to convert to a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathic Medicine, through which I was able to learn about the amazing changes herbs can effect.
I bring empathy and compassion to every consultation, balanced by a commitment to evidence-informed care and a focus on results. I’m passionate about helping people achieve real, lasting changes and often incorporate tools such as functional testing to ensure precision and clarity of treatment.
It’s undisputed that feeling your best is foundational to a fulfilling life. My goal is to help you reconnect with your vitality and evolve into the best version of you.

About Naturopathy…
At Well By Nature, our approach to healthcare is grounded in the core principles of naturopathic medicine, and elevated by modern research and testing. The time-honoured foundations of naturopathy shape assessment, treatment, and support for each individual.
1. First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
We prioritise safe, gentle, and non-invasive methods. Our treatments are designed to support the body rather than suppress symptoms, using the least force necessary while avoiding harm. At Well By Nature, we carefully assess each client’s individual context to ensure our recommendations are well-suited and respectful of their unique physiology and life circumstances.
2. The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
We believe the body has an innate ability to mend itself when given the right support. At Well By Nature, our role is to remove obstacles to healing and nourish the body with the tools it needs—such as whole foods, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies—so that this inner intelligence can thrive.
3. Identify and Treat the Cause (Tolle Causam)
Rather than just managing symptoms, we seek to uncover and address the root causes of imbalance—whether they stem from nutritional deficiencies, stress, environmental exposures, or deeper systemic dysfunctions. This investigative and holistic mindset is central to every consultation at Well By Nature.
4. Treat the Whole Person
We recognise that health is multidimensional, involving the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental. At Well By Nature, every treatment plan is personalised and comprehensive—crafted to suit the individual's unique body, story, and goals.
5. Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
Education is empowerment. At Well By Nature, we ensure our clients understand their health and the reasoning behind their treatment plan. We take time to explain test results, dietary guidance, and lifestyle strategies so that clients feel confident, involved, and inspired to take charge of their wellbeing.
6. Prevention is the Best Cure
We aim to catch imbalances early, and support long-term wellness—not just the absence of disease. Preventative care is embedded in every stage of treatment at Well By Nature, from screening pathology to lifestyle coaching and stress resilience strategies.
7. Wellness Through Individualised Care
Though not traditionally listed among the six principles, individualised care is an essential part of the naturopathic model. At Well By Nature, no two treatment plans are the same. We listen deeply, honour your story, and craft realistic and relevant recommendations that fit your life and priorities.
