Clinical Naturopath · Canberra, Australia & New Zealand
You know something is off.
Let's actually figure out why.
You've seen the doctors. You've had the tests. You've been told everything looks "normal." But you don't feel normal — and you never quite have. That gap is exactly where I work.
Most of my clients have been searching for answers for years. My job is to help them stop guessing — and give them a plan built from the ground up for how their body actually works.
— Cassandra Hilton
Science and nature,
working together
I'm Cassandra — a clinical naturopath and Western herbalist now based in Canberra, with over a decade of experience helping women untangle the root causes of their health concerns, not just manage the symptoms. I consult in-clinic in Canberra and online across Australia and New Zealand.
My practice sits at the intersection of evidence-based medicine and the kind of deep listening that conventional medicine rarely has time for. I take your history seriously, read your existing pathology carefully, and look at how your genetics, gut health, hormones, and environment are all interacting — because health doesn't happen in isolation, and neither does poor health.
Where it's warranted, I use functional pathology and genetic testing to remove the guesswork entirely. Every treatment plan I build is specific to you — your physiology, your goals, your life.
An end-to-end approach
no one else offers
As both a clinician and the founder of a cosmeceutical skincare brand, I can do something no aesthetician, GP, or other naturopath can: treat the skin comprehensively — from the inside and the outside, under one roof.
Full naturopathic assessment — health history, existing pathology, functional testing, genetics. We find what's actually driving the issue.
A personalised inner protocol — nutrition, herbal medicine, practitioner supplements — matched precisely to your biochemistry and goals.
I prescribe Ocinium — the clinician-formulated skincare I created — as the topical component of your skin health plan. Every product chosen with clinical intent.
Why I formulated
my own skincare
After years of practice, I found I couldn't recommend many commercial skincare products to my clients with clinical confidence. Too many sensitising ingredients. Too many fillers. Too many formulations built around marketing rather than skin biology.
So I built Ocinium — a cosmeceutical skincare line founded on a single principle: give the skin exactly what it needs to function at its best, and nothing it doesn't. Every formula reflects the same evidence-based rigour I apply in the clinic.
For my clients, this closes the loop. After identifying what's driving your skin concerns internally, I can prescribe the precise topical formulations to support your skin externally. Inner and outer — working together, designed to.

Pharmaceutical-grade cosmetic actives chosen for efficacy, not trend.

"I've battled an autoimmune condition for many years and the standard medical treatment just wasn't working. Cassandra reviewed my entire medical history, connected me to specialists and offered new solutions and alternatives to the traditional treatment. She taught me how to manage the condition through diet, nutritional supplementation and exercise. One of the most satisfying aspects of working with Cassandra is that she cares deeply for her clients and goes above and beyond to improve their lives."
