Lauren Hickey

Hi, I’m Lauren, the founder of The Longevity Naturopath, a space dedicated to helping you feel vibrant, balanced, and deeply supported at every stage of life. I hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy and Dermal Therapy.

My journey began in 2011 working 1:1 with clients to help them feel confident in their skin. As a qualified Dermal Therapist, I’ve spent years working across leading clinics in Melbourne, the Gold Coast, and the Northern Rivers, using some of the most advanced skin technology on the market.

But as I listened more deeply to my clients stories I kept asking myself the deeper questions “Why are these breakouts recurring? What’s driving these skin flare-ups, this inflammation, this early aging? “ The more I listened to my clients’ stories, the clearer it became: what shows up on the skin is often a reflection of what’s happening inside.

That desire to know more led me to Naturopathy: a field that recognises the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right support.

My passion now lies in treating the whole person, from the inside out. At The Longevity Naturopath, we believe wellness is more than just the absence of illness it’s the presence of vitality, resilience, and radiance. Aging is inevitable, but how you age? That’s something you can influence. Through personalised, evidence-informed care and natural therapies, I help you restore balance, uncover root causes, and feel empowered in your health again.

  • My approach to skin is different.

    With over a decade of experience as a Dermal Therapist and Naturopath, I combine advanced skin knowledge with a whole-body approach to help you achieve lasting skin health.

    Concerns such as acne, eczema, rosacea, pigmentation, and premature ageing are often influenced by deeper factors like hormones, gut health, inflammation, and stress. Rather than only treating what appears on the surface, I focus on identifying and addressing the underlying causes.

  • Preparing for a healthy pregnancy starts well before conception. Preconception care focuses on optimising the health of both partners to support fertility, hormonal balance, and the best possible environment for a future pregnancy.

    Having personally experienced the challenges of fertility struggles, my passion for supporting couples on this journey is deeply personal. I understand how complex and emotional the process can be, and my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed guidance every step of the way.

  • Your gut is central to many aspects of health, influencing digestion, immunity, hormones, skin, and even mood through the gut–brain axis. When the microbiome becomes imbalanced, it can affect how the body absorbs nutrients, regulates inflammation, and communicates with other systems.

    As a Naturopath, I take a comprehensive approach to digestive health by exploring diet, lifestyle, stress, and microbiome balance. Where appropriate, functional testing can be used to gain deeper insight into digestive function, gut bacteria, inflammation, and nutrient absorption.

  • Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that regulate how the body communicates and functions. Supporting reproductive, thyroid, and stress hormones is a key part of maintaining energy, metabolism, mood, and long-term health.
