Anthia Koullouros Naturopath

I have been a practicing naturopath for nearly 30 years! It's hard for me to believe it too! I graduated as a naturopath, homoeopath, and herbalist at the end of 1994 and started consulting almost immediately. My Naturopathic Clinic, Apothecary, and Apotheca by Anthia Tea & Tisane Store is located in Paddington, Sydney Australia. This is where you will find me seeing patients, blending herbal tonics and creating teas & tisanes. Akademeia by Anthia, our online portal, is where you will find my Courses & Programs, based on 30 years of Naturopathic know how & clinical experience. My book I am Food - Eating Your Way To Health was published in 2014. A new edition of I am Food was launched in January 2023.
