About
Sarah Hooper
Naturopath & Paediatric Counsellor
Hi, I’m Sarah Hooper, The Neurodivergent Naturopath and a Paediatric Counsellor.
​
I’m a Brisbane based naturopath passionate about supporting neurodivergent children and their families through holistic, evidence informed care. With a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy, I create personalised strategies that support the body and nervous system gently and realistically.
​
As a mother of three neurodivergent children, and being autistic and ADHD myself, I understand the lived reality behind autism, ADHD, ARFID, sensory challenges, and the day to day load that families carry. My background in early childhood education adds another layer to my work, blending science based support with practical insights into child development and family dynamics.
I also work in women’s hormone health, supporting women through postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal transitions. This experience supports my whole family approach, because children thrive best when their parents feel supported too.
​
Alongside naturopathic care, I offer NeuroThrive Counselling for children and teens, including animal assisted therapy. My golden retriever therapy dogs, Sage & River bring comfort, calm, and connection to sessions.
​
Providing quality, neuro-affirming care for autistic families, with support that feels steady, clear, and compassionate.

Our Services
Naturopathic Consultations
We specialise in holistic, evidence-based care for neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD, Autism, ARFID, and associated eating disorders. Our naturopathic consultations are designed to support your child’s unique needs, addressing the root causes of health challenges while empowering families with practical, sustainable solutions.
Counseling with Animal-Assisted Therapy
We understand that traditional talk therapy isn’t always the best fit for neurodivergent children. That’s why our Counselling & Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) sessions are designed to be gentle, engaging, and sensory-friendly, helping children feel safe, supported, and understood.
With the unconditional love and calming presence of our therapy dogs, Poppy & Sage, we create a nurturing environment where children can explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop self-regulation skills without pressure or overwhelm.
Family Wellness
When raising a neurodivergent child, the well-being of the entire family matters. At NeuroThrive Paediatric Health, we take a holistic approach to family wellness, offering support, guidance, and practical strategies to help parents and caregivers navigate the unique challenges (and joys!) of neurodivergence.
We understand that when one member of the family is struggling, it impacts everyone. Our family-centred approachfocuses on improving stress resilience, emotional balance, and overall health for both children and parents.

"Sarah's calmness made her instantly relatable and her accurate insights were amazing. My session with Sarah gave me clarity and tools to move forward with ease, not only for myself - they were tools I could teach my children to help heal their hearts too. I would totally recommend Sarah, and will definitely work with her again in the future"
