5 Best Naturopaths in Glasgow for Holistic Long-Term Healing
I’m already in full physiotherapy mode, turning up, doing the boring stretches, so I figured it was time to get just as serious about my hormonal stuff. I mean, if GP visits are my ten-minute-and-printout chapter, a naturopath might be my root-cause chapter, right?
In the UK, “naturopath” often means a mix of herbalism, nutrition, and lifestyle support (less symptom-chasing). You can feel the shift here. People now want care that bridges the gap between tests that appear fine and feelings of not quite being fine.
This review rounds up the best Glasgow naturopaths for chronic stuff like fertility, IBS, eczema, and fatigue. We’ll compare specialisms and qualifications, and see if the approach feels grounded.
How much does a naturopath charge in Glasgow?
Naturopath centres in Glasgow typically charge £75 to £150 for an initial 60 to 90-minute consultation, then £45 to £70 for 30 to 45-minute follow-ups.
If you’re using bespoke herbal tinctures or supplements, budget an extra £10 to £20 per week. Functional testing (like comprehensive stool analysis) is usually a premium add-on starting at £150 to over £400.
Do note that naturopathy is not generally covered by the NHS because it’s considered private complementary medicine.
1. Irene McCabe, Naturopathic Nutritionist, Food Intolerance Therapist, Hypnotherapist, Bioresonance Therapist, Kinesiologist
Address: 5 La Belle Pl, Kelvingrove Street
Contact: +441236739247
Hours: Monday to Thursday, 9.30 AM–4.30 PM
My best friend keeps telling me she’s fine and has been avoiding certain foods, yet her bloating and IBS still keep showing up like an uninvited guest. With Irene McCabe, it felt like someone was finally taking her food intolerance story seriously.
She’s ideal for IBS/gut health and food intolerance detective work, and she also lists skin health, stress, and chronic fatigue as other areas she supports. She used to own an herbalist shop and clinic, as well, plus has years of experience in health writing and speaking.
My bestie said she leans into personalised, whole-person plans rather than generic advice. She describes Irene as giving off a mix of traditional, natural, ancient remedies and more modern, structured methods like testing where relevant.
Her whole philosophy is basically that the client’s body is individual, so the plan should be, too. It’s what my friend desperately needs after years of being told to just cut out dairy.
Irene McCabe’s key services are naturopathic nutrition consultation, food intolerance testing, and bespoke, tailored eating/health plans written up only after she’s pulled together your history and results. Book her if you want to connect the dots between triggers, gut symptoms, stress, and daily habits.
That said, if you want a strictly NHS-style, diagnosis-first pathway, this won’t feel like that. She’s clear about being a complementary practitioner and not a doctor.
Irene was so wonderful and knowledgeable
I did a food intolerance test after the birth of my second baby – Irene was so wonderful and knowledgeable – explained everything perfectly – and the test was just spot on – now taking all of the advice and confidence I received from the consultation today and ready to use it to turn into the best version of myself. Highly recommend!

I can honestly say it’s changed my life
I went for an intolerance test just under a year ago, and Irene could not have been more helpful and supportive. After almost a year of committing to my results and recommendations from Irene, I can honestly say it’s changed my life. I suffered from a lot of complex health issues and chronic migraines, which have all virtually disappeared. Could not recommend Irene more. She was excellent, and I can’t thank her enough for this new life she has given me!

2. Essence of the Soul
Address: 61 Cresswell Street
Contact: +447717186647
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8.30 AM–6 PM
My baby sister showed up at Essence of the Soul visibly tense and a bit jittery, and left looking noticeably calmer. It’s the kind of place that’s built for relaxation, healing, balance, and general well-being when your nervous system feels overworked.
She now calls the centre her stress support and emotional reset place, which makes it different from clinics focused more on IBS, hormonal balance, or skin conditions. She describes the vibe as supportive and gentle, and it suits anyone who wants whole-person care alongside their usual medical route.
The practitioner, Angela MacRitchie, frames her work as root-cause-led support using natural therapies. The approach is more like traditional naturopathy and hands-on holistic therapies than modern-day, lab-heavy functional testing.
Her services cover naturopathy, naturopathic nutrition, and herbal remedies, plus calming therapies like Reiki, reflexology, holistic massage, and meditation. My sister recommends her to those needing tailored support and practical lifestyle guidance.
However, if you’re specifically after data-led protocols with advanced stool or hormone testing as the main event, the centre’s emphasis isn’t on those. Also, with a wide menu of therapies, it helps to go in with one clear goal to stay focused instead of turning into a sampler platter.
Her advice and tips are always practical and implementable
Angela has the ability to meet you where you’re at in your health journey, and she sets achievable and realistic goals with you. Her advice and tips are always practical and implementable. Her wealth of knowledge and experience has been a huge support to me!

3. Nurture Glasgow
Address: 9 Fitzroy Pl, Sauchiehall St, Finnieston
Contact: +441412551065
Hours: By appointment
My overworked colleague reached that point where physiotherapy still wasn’t easing her back pain, so she tried acupuncture at Nurture Glasgow as her next move. She immediately noticed how the clinic was set up for personalised care rather than rushed, one-size sessions.
It’s the sort of place that treats back pain as part of a bigger picture, not a standalone complaint. It’s ideal for those experiencing pain, tension, and stress-linked symptoms, with fertility and pregnancy support also featured in their wider offering.
Acupuncture and herbalism sit at the core of their approach, making them more traditional and hands-on rather than lab-heavy. Because it’s a multi-practitioner clinic, there’s a clear emphasis on combining therapies into something tailored.
It’s a solid pick for those who want pain relief with a calmer nervous system and like having several complementary options under one roof. Key services include acupuncture, herbalism, hypnotherapy, counselling psychology, plus regular studio classes like yoga, Pilates, and meditation.
The downside? Because it’s a multi-practitioner clinic, the experience can vary depending on who you book with, so there may be some trial and error involved to find the right fit for your goals.
Now I’m on top of the world, feeling happy
Thanks very much, Suzy. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage. I felt rubbish beforehand, and now I’m on top of the world, feeling happy. Thanks, Bridie.

4. The Clinic
Address: 14 Crow Road
Contact: +447875507068
Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 9 AM–6 PM
As an active athlete, I went to The Clinic on Crow Road because I was curious if Kinesiology can sniff out the little functional imbalances that don’t show up until I’m moving like a wayward shopping trolley.
I liked their muscle-testing approach. It felt more like an investigative check-in than another round of the usual stretching advice.
Philosophy-wise, they lean more traditional, holistic than modern functional testing. Being there feels like having a blend of body-based assessment, plus classic natural modalities, with the plan shaped around what’s going on with me, system-wide.
I’d recommend them for IBS/digestive-driven issues and whole-body imbalance work, especially when your symptoms don’t fit neatly into one label. They practice a root-cause-led approach, so you’re not just chasing whatever flare-up is loudest this week.
Kinesiology is one of their headline services, with other supportive options that can be layered in depending on your needs. They’re worth a visit if you want a personalised, multi-modality approach, and you’re open to connecting performance, digestion, stress, and recovery into one practical plan.
Do note that there are multiple add-on therapies available, so it’s easy to spend more than planned at The Clinic, unless you go with a clear goal and a firm budget.
I feel different; my brain isn’t so cloudy
I went on the 21-day gut cleanse, and for someone who has struggled to stick to a diet of any kind, I was surprised to find how easy it was to stick to, and the amazing thing is I’ve lost 1 stone. Amanda is lovely, she gives you everything you need for the 21 days and also gives you good advice, and she is there if you have any questions. I am now going to try to lose my next stone by keeping to the guidelines of the cleanse. I feel different; my brain isn’t so cloudy, and I have more energy. If you’re fed up with feeling crappy and overweight, give this a go, its defo worth it!

5. Klayr Hunter Consultant & Apothecary
Address: Nurture Integrated Health Clinic, 9 Fitzroy Pl, Sauchiehall St, Finnieston
Contact: +447723025518
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–4 PM
My cycles were starting to feel like a monthly plot twist, so I went looking for a centre that can speak hormones. I found Klayr Hunter and immediately felt like it was a safe bet.
I wanted herbal support that feels both grown-up and grounded, and this centre is very much in that lane. They’re best for hormonal balance issues like PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS-style symptoms, hormonal acne, endometriosis, and menopause.
Her approach is clearly women’s health-forward, and I found her refreshingly direct about using herbs as part of a wider diet and lifestyle protocol. Background-wise, she’s not a random wellness person but has a physiology degree from the University of Glasgow.
She leans into traditional herbalism with prescriptions, plant-based remedies, and classical herbal thinking. Her key services are also straightforward: private consultation (including virtual), personalised herbal prescriptions, and easy prescription orders.
She also has an online shop for herbal products and resources like her endometriosis-focused book. She’s someone I’d recommend to anyone who needs an herbalist who’ll take their hormone worries seriously.
That said, her initial consultation format is relatively tight, time-wise (40 minutes), and already priced at £150 (including a month of herbs). To get the maximum value, I suggest showing up with a list of symptoms, cycle notes, and questions.
She took the time to listen, empathise and care
I was diagnosed with fibroids, which were painful and had a detrimental impact on my quality of life. Unfortunately, the female NHS consultant was neither compassionate nor helpful, and the only option given was surgery. I’m so glad I booked a consultation with Klayr, who took the time to listen, empathise and care. Klayr prescribed customised tinctures and also provided diet and lifestyle suggestions which have made such a huge difference to my health, wellbeing and quality of life. I would highly recommend Klayr. Thank you.
