TIRED OF BEING TOLD YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE JUST IN YOUR HEAD?
Your symptoms are your body trying to communicate what is going on - there is ALWAYS a reason for your symptoms.
Chronic gut issues, autoimmune flares, children’s health struggles, unexplained fatigue, and complex health conditions deserve more than a bandaid approach - they deserve answers.
Maz Pedersen is a Clinical Naturopath and Functional Medicine Practitioner with a special interest in uncovering the WHY behind your symptoms. Whether it’s genetic susceptibility, hormonal imbalances, immune dysfunction, or long-standing gut imbalances, I take the time to connect the dots others often miss.
Using functional testing, detailed pathology, nutrigenomics, herbal medicine, and personalised lifestyle strategies, I work with you to create clarity and momentum towards real, sustainable change and optimal health.
Because when your health story is finally understood, everything begins to shift.

What People Are Saying
“After years of bouncing between doctors and specialists, Maz was the first practitioner who actually took the time to connect the dots. We uncovered issues I’d never even considered like my gut health and genetics and within months, I felt clearer, had more energy, and felt in control of my body again.”
— Sarah Jenkins
“Maz has been a game changer for our family. My 11 year old son was struggling with constant tummy pain, sensory overwhelm, and emotional outbursts. Maz’s approach was calm, thorough, and never rushed. Within weeks of starting her plan, we saw a real shift in his mood, his sleep, and our whole household.”
— Emma, mum of Ryder
Maz is amazing I’d never been to a naturopath before but doctors weren’t helping with my gut issues so I needed an alternative I’m so glad I met her she’s extremely easy to talk to and takes time to listen and ask a lot of questions to come up with a treatment plan and lots of hints and tips. I’ve been seeing her on and off for various different treatments now for over a year I feel 90% back to my old self which is amazing.
My husband has just started to see her as well.
She’s very caring and knowledgeable I highly recommend Maz.
— Debbie Cooper
Maz has helped me so much with my gut health and especially my sleep. She’s so knowledgeable and has made me feel so genuinely supported throughout the whole process. You can really tell she cares about you and takes the time to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. I’ve learnt so much through working with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a naturopath who genuinely cares with experience and knowledge to back it up. 💜
— Ash Miragliotta
“Maz is incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that, she listens. After years of chronic inflammation and immune flares, I’ve finally found a practitioner who doesn’t just treat the symptoms, but works with me to strengthen the foundation. I trust her completely and have seen incredible benefits since starting her treatment plans."
— Kelly Hanson
I can't recommend Maz at Alchemy Naturopathy enough. As a stay-at-home mum with two young boys, life is busy and it's so easy to put yourself last. Maz has been so understanding of where I'm at in this season of life and has helped me make changes that actually feel realistic instead of overwhelming.
The difference has been amazing. I have so much more energy, I'm a more patient mum, and I genuinely feel healthier than I have in years. I feel calmer, stronger, and much more like myself again. Maz is so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients. I always leave our appointments feeling supported, encouraged, and with a clear plan that I know I can actually follow. If you're thinking about seeing a naturopath, I couldn't recommend Maz at Alchemy Naturopathy more. I'm so grateful for everything she's helped me with.

Hi, I’m Maz
- Clinical Naturopath and Functional Medicine Practitioner
I have a background that few others bring to the table…. With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse in Emergency, ICU, Paediatrics, Maternity and remote communities, I’ve seen firsthand the gaps in conventional healthcare, especially for women, children, and people navigating complex or chronic conditions.
I hold several university degree in health science and I bring that foundation into a functional and naturopathic approach that is deeply personalised, integrative, and evidence based.
My passion lies in helping you uncover the “WHY” behind your symptoms—whether that’s gut dysfunction, autoimmunity, fatigue, hormonal imbalances or skin conditions, so we can gently bring your body back into balance using targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies.
