ABOUT HEALTH HAVEN GOLD COAST
Meet Naturopath & Owner, Cassandra Duffill
Before I was a the practitioner, I was the patient.
I know what it’s like to search for answers, feel unheard, and wonder why no one is looking at the bigger picture. That experience shaped not only my own health journey, but also the way I practice today.
At Health Haven, every consultation is about understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms and create a practical plan that fits your life.
My personal experience means I understand the journey better than anyone.
Like many people, my journey into natural medicine began through my own health challenges.
Experiencing first-hand what it’s like to navigate confusing symptoms, multiple opinions and the frustration of feeling that no one truly listened, gave me a very different perspective as a practitioner.
It taught me that good healthcare isn’t just about finding the right treatment, it’s about taking the time to understand the person sitting in front of you. That’s the approach I’ve built Health Haven on.
Whether you’re seeking support for digestive health, hormones, fatigue, skin conditions, children’s health, immunity, or simply want to improve your wellbeing, my focus is always the same: understand what’s driving your symptoms and create a personalised plan that works with your life.
What It’s Like To Work With Me
First, I listen
Every person’s health story is different. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, history, lifestyle, goals and concerns without feeling rushed.
Next, I look beyond symptoms
I look at symptoms create patterns, and how different systems in your body are connected. Where appropriate, we may also use pathology, functional testing, live blood analysis or iridology to build a more complete picture.
Then, we keep things realistic
Your treatment plan should fit your life, not take over it. Recommendations are realistic, prioritised and tailored to your health goals, lifestyle and budget. There’s never pressure to purchase supplements or follow an overwhelming protocol.

the vision
Health Haven, more than a consult room…
Have you ever experienced an appointment that doesn’t seem to get to the point, and is over before you’ve had a chance to get answers? Me too.
That’s why I created Health Haven to be different.
The Gold Coast clinic was specifically created to meet the needs of our clients. Consults with care, and the time you deserve to be heard and helped.
An on-site apothecary to access everything you need, from custom herbal medicines to practitioner-grade supplements, hand-made natural products and teas – all in one place, competitively priced.
Weekly Walk-In Wednesday, so you can drop in for on-the-spot help and over-the-counter dispensing, because you don’t always need a consult.
Plus monthly Natural Remedies Workshops, a couple of hours to learn and share together, while you create a natural product to take home.
More than a clinic, Health Haven was created to be the community hub for natural health care on the Gold Coast, at every stage of your health journey.

A Little About Me
Outside of Health Haven you’ll using find me enjoying a good cup of herbal tea, watercolour painting, spending time in my veggie and herb garden, experimenting with new herbal products and remedies, or continuing to learn about the ever-evoloving world of natural medicine, sustainable living and health.
Natural medicine for me isn’t a job, it’s a way of life.
On our property we grow medicinal herbs, vegetables and fruits, and keep rescued ex-battery farm hens. The dehydrator is always on making new creations, jars of herbs are infusing on the counter, seeds we’ve saved are drying on the bench, or we’re canning and preserving something. Sustainable living and homesteading is something my family and I are passionate about.
2013
Health Haven Opens
The practice opened, supporting a range of clients but particularly those with IBS and gut issues. I also became well know for kids health and autism.
2014
Oxenford Clinic Opens
Stepping into a new era, Health Haven moved to a clinic in Oxenford where people with chronic & complex conditions got the help they needed. Located between four schools, I also supported many children and teens.
