Meet Layla

I’m Layla Metcalfe, a university-qualified naturopath and clinical nutritionist with nearly two decades in private practice.

I help women understand their bodies and make informed decisions across every stage of life, from menstrual health and fertility to pregnancy, postpartum and midlife transition. I have a strong clinical focus on endometriosis and the hormonal shifts that shape a woman’s life from menarche to elder.

My work is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. In my early twenties, a brain tumour diagnosis and the hormonal disruption that followed deepened my trust in naturopathic medicine.

Years later, living with endometriosis, navigating fertility, chronic pain, and eventually two “geriatric” pregnancies further refined my understanding of women’s health. Now in my forties raising two young children, I continue to move through my own health and midlife transitions in real time.

These experiences have shaped a compassionate, evidence-informed approach that respects both science and the deeper dimensions of healing. I integrate nervous system support, mindfulness, and practical clinical care to help women improve their quality of life now while protecting their long-term wellbeing.
