Meet Dominique McGuire – Degree-Qualified Naturopath (BHSc) & Founder of The Pillars Naturopathy

Personalised care for women who feel overlooked by conventional medicine — from someone who’s been there too.

My Why

I found naturopathy during a time when I felt completely disconnected from myself. I was exhausted, unwell, on multiple medications, and still not getting better.

Like many of my clients, I was told things were "normal," but nothing about the way I felt reflected that. I had acne, a missing menstrual cycle, severe digestive issues, and symptoms that weren’t fully addressed or explained. I reached a point where I had to take matters into my own hands and began learning how to support my body in a deeper, more holistic way.

That decision helped me feel hopeful again. It stayed with me and slowly led me to where I am now.

My personal healing journey continues to shape how I practice. I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. That lived experience fuels my passion for holding space for women in similar seasons.

You’ll be seen as a whole person, not a list of symptoms. This is a space where your story matters. We explore how your nervous system, hormones, digestion, environment, and lived experiences all interact. Together, we work to bring your body back into balance step by step.

I’ve walked my own path with health. This work is both informed and deeply personal. Like many of my clients, I’ve felt unheard and frustrated in the system. That depth of experience has shaped the way I hold space with softness, realism, and clarity.

Emotional layers are always part of the picture. Symptoms rarely exist in isolation. I believe that true healing often requires nervous system support and emotional repair, not just physical tools. I hold space for the emotional context of your symptoms without judgment.

My Approach

My Clinical Focus

With over nine years of experience in the healthcare industry, including allied health, integrative medicine, and nutrition, I bring a grounded and evidence-based approach to care.

Every consultation is tailored to you. I combine functional testing with symptom patterns and your lived experience to develop practical, targeted treatment plans using nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support.

I'm here to help you:

  • Feel heard and understood

  • Get clarity around your symptoms

  • Create sustainable changes that work in your real life

Who I Work With

If you’ve been told everything looks normal but still don’t feel well, I see you. That in-between space is exactly where I do my best work.

I support women experiencing:

  • Gut Health

    Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, SIBO, reflux, and microbiome imbalances

  • Women's Health

    Hormonal imbalances, irregular or missing periods, post-pill symptoms, PMS, PMDD, low libido, acne, perimenopausal changes, and symptoms associated with PCOS or endometriosis

  • Thyroid & Metabolic Support

    Fatigue, temperature sensitivity, weight changes, brain fog, and symptoms associated with insulin resistance or thyroid conditions such as hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s

  • Nervous System Regulation

    Burnout, fatigue, overwhelm, low mood, anxiety, poor sleep, and mood swings

"Healing happens when we stop silencing symptoms and start listening to what the body is really trying to say."
