Our Practitioners
Experienced, dedicated practitioners bringing holistic health care to the Noosa community.
Our Story
Integrated Natural Medicine was established by two experienced practitioners with a shared passion for holistic, whole-person health care. Having built a respected practice in Melbourne over many years, the clinic has relocated from Melbourne and is now proudly based in Noosa Waters, QLD — and we are thrilled to bring our combined expertise to the Sunshine Coast community.
We believe that true health is more than the absence of symptoms. It is a state of vibrant physical, mental and emotional balance — and that is what we work towards with every patient we see.
Our collaborative approach means you benefit from two skilled practitioners working together, combining the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine and acupuncture with the evidence-informed practice of naturopathy and modern integrative medicine.

Our practitioners bring decades of combined clinical experience across acupuncture, Chinese medicine, naturopathy and integrative medicine.
Dr René Fontyne brings a wealth of clinical experience to Integrated Natural Medicine. His initial consultations include a comprehensive integrative medicine assessment — incorporating iridology, VEGA bio-electronic testing, detailed health history, and nutrition and diet review — to build a complete picture of your health.
René's approach combines the precision of modern diagnostic tools with the philosophy of natural and integrative medicine, helping patients achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their health and quality of life.
Karen is a highly experienced naturopath and acupuncturist whose comprehensive initial consultations include digital iridology imaging and VEGA assessment alongside a thorough naturopathic health assessment. Her personalised approach ensures that every care plan is tailored specifically to each individual patient.
Karen's expertise spans acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal therapy and naturopathy, giving her the breadth to support a wide range of health concerns through a truly integrated lens.
What We Stand For
We look at you as a whole — your physical health, lifestyle, diet, environment and emotional wellbeing — not just your presenting symptoms.
Two experienced practitioners working together means you benefit from a broader range of expertise and a more comprehensive approach to your care.
No two patients are the same. Every care plan we develop is tailored specifically to your individual health history, goals and circumstances.
We combine the wisdom of traditional medicine with modern diagnostic tools and an evidence-informed approach to natural therapies.
We take the time to listen, explain and educate — so you always understand your health and feel empowered in your own care journey.
We are proud to be part of the Noosa community, serving patients from across the Sunshine Coast region in a warm, private and welcoming environment.
