About

Mata Wellbeing is a holistic skin and wellness space in Melbourne, Australia, dedicated to integrating the wisdom of naturopathy with evidence-based practices. Our approach supports an inside-out and outside-in strategy to skin health and overall wellbeing.

We were established to empower and promote the circle of wellbeing through bespoke and transformative therapies; restoring the health of not only your skin but overall wellbeing, from the inside-out as well as outside-in.

We utilise evidence-based skincare and treatment modalities to optimise your skin health while respecting your skin barrier. With Naturopathy at our core, we prioritise patient care, offering support on your health journey through diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine and nutrition; or guiding you through a transformative skin experience to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul.

Our gut, mind and skin are the first parts of our body to show signs of extreme fatigue, burnout and self-neglect. They’re all intrinsically interconnected.

This is where I come in! Hi There! Im Eleni! I am a Bachelor of Health Science-qualified naturopath and member of NHAA (Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia). With over 20 years of experience in the skin and wellness industry, and nearly a decade of teaching holistic beauty and body therapy, I founded Mata Wellbeing to combine my expertise in skin health with naturopathic and nutritional medicine.

My holistic journey began while on maternity leave, driven by a passion for integrative health. This led me to pursue a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy), with special interests in gut health, female reproductive health, stress management, and skin health. I also specialise in the mind-body connection, breathwork and somatic bodywork, becoming a Certified Neolifting© Face Sculpting and Buccal Massage Practitioner trained by internationally recognised experts Uma Ghosh and Tatiana Vorontsova.

My Personal Story

From a young age, my own health challenges inspired my dedication to natural medicine and an integrated approach to skin health. Battling severe acne from 13, I underwent multiple courses of antibiotics, the OCP and isotretinoin. A sudden loss of sensation in my legs during my honeymoon led to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). These experiences drove me to explore a holistic and integrated approach, moving away from quick-fix solutions to a more comprehensive, patient-centred approach to health and wellbeing.

At Mata Wellbeing, my mission is to help women achieve their best health, addressing issues from stress management and gut health to hormonal balance and skin health. Whether you're dealing with skin concerns or seeking overall wellness support, I am here to guide you on your journey.
