My Story

Hi, I’m Angel Munro, I’m a Naturopathic Nutritionist (BHSc Nut Med). I started my Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture, part time in 1999. In that time, I also took subjects in Bach flower essences & massage & completed a certificate in Tui Na massage (traditional Chinese massage), which I practiced for over 14 years, working with athletes, corporate & private clients. Halfway through my degree I deferred for a decade in that time I raised children & managed businesses.

When I finally went to back to university in 2014 to finish my degree I switched from acupuncture to nutrition, completing it in 2018. The diversity in my formal training resulted in a broad & holistic understanding of both western & eastern alternative medicine.

Over the last 7 years I have run my own nutrition practice, coordinated & delivered a Kitchen Garden program & worked as a private & commercial chef specialising in seasonal organic food. I now practice from my office/warehouse in Cremorne, Melbourne, that also houses my online store The Shop, dedicated to sourcing the best wholefood supplements, personal care products & items that facilitate a natural life.

My journey with natural medicine & alternative health is lifelong.  Born via homebirth, I was raised on a vegetarian diet which I have maintained throughout my life, although, the last several years I have included the occasional bit of seafood & intermittent use of animal-based wholefood supplements.  Growing up I didn’t have a family doctor, instead I was taken to chiropractors, doctors of Chinese medicine & naturopaths when unwell. To this day, now in my late 40’s, I have only ever had one vaccine (a tetanus shot after an accident when I was 11), one round of antibiotics, (intravenously, that was given to me in hospital when I was 19 & I had pneumonia) & I have only been to the dentist a handful of times in my life for a clean & a check up. All testament that it is very possible to be in good health with very little intervention from allopathic medicine. After nearly half a century of being both a consumer & a practitioner of natural health & medicine I have seen many fads in the space come & go & have had the unique opportunity to observe & see what works & what doesn’t.

As a practitioner I focus on Food as Medicine and Terrain Medicine & I have helped clients through many conditions including, gastrointestinal disorders, fertility issues, allergies, thyroid conditions, cardiovascular disease, cancer, weight & metabolic disorders, neurological & mood disorders, skin conditions and more. While I use some herbs, Bach flower essences & wholefood supplements in my practice, my main tool for helping people regain their health is through diet & lifestyle interventions. Not only is this the best protocol for disease prevention it is the best strategy for healing from disease. The body always heals, my goal is to help people gain back their trust in the brilliance of their own body & to find vitality & health sovereignty in the medicine of their own life.
