Don’t feel comfortable in your own skin?

We offer holistic, natural treatment for chronic skin conditions — so you can feel confident again.

Kohei looks for what is driving eczema, psoriasis, acne and topical steroid withdrawal, rather than working on the surface alone. Natural, individual, and grounded in over a decade of clinical experience.

My eczema story

“Eczema is not just a skin condition. It’s an internal condition. I know, because I have suffered from it myself.”

Before I became a naturopath, I was covered head to toe in eczema. It grew so severe I had to resign from my job, and was bed-ridden for nearly five months — living on steroids and antibiotics, in constant pain from dry, weeping, itchy skin. It can only be described as agonising, torturous and hopeless.

When the steroids stopped and every medical avenue was exhausted, a naturopath took me through a consultation that changed everything. A year and a half later, through nutritional, dietary and lifestyle support, my skin had settled. That experience became my lifelong passion for natural medicine.

Today I’m the founder and director of Waterwell — a holistic skin clinic on a mission to care for people going through the same hardship I did, or to help others avoid it altogether.

The stepping stones

From flare-ups to the skin that you feel comfortable in.

No guesswork — five considered steps that take you from where you are now to skin that looks after itself.

  1. Step 01 · Where we begin

    Identifying your skin condition

    Getting this right matters more than anything else — start in the wrong direction and you lose time, effort and money. Consultations, functional testing and over a decade of clinical experience pinpoint what’s driving it.

  2. Step 02

    Removing the obstacles

    Food and environmental sensitivities are like speed bumps — they quietly fuel inflammation, leaving little room to heal. Reducing them first is what makes the rest of the plan worth doing.

  3. Step 03

    Treating the underlying cause

    Once inflammation settles, we address the root of your condition — permanently avoiding allergens isn’t solving anything. We look for what caused those sensitivities, and work on digestion, hormones and the microbiome.

  4. Step 04

    Reintroduction

    True health isn’t avoiding your triggers — it’s being strong enough to tolerate them. Once symptoms have eased and the cause is addressed, we gently reintroduce those foods and habits.

  5. Step 05

    Maintenance

    Your journey isn’t over when treatment ends — some say that’s where it truly begins. You’ll use what you’ve learned to hold your progress, with a maintenance plan and occasional check-ins.

A clear path

A calm, considered path towards your desired results.

Sometimes you just need reassurance when you’re putting your health in someone else’s hands. Here’s exactly what working together looks like.

  1. Free discovery session

    A relaxed 15-minute conversation to ask anything about the consultations, the treatment process and how I can help you. No pressure, no obligations — just your peace of mind.

    15 min · Free

  2. Initial consultation

    A comprehensive 75-minute appointment to uncover the triggers and root cause of your skin condition. We assess your history, diet, lifestyle, mental-emotional health and much more — a completely holistic view.

    75 min · By video

  3. Your tailored plan

    A plan created only for you — nutrition, dietary and lifestyle support. No two plans are ever the same, because everyone is unique.

    Individual

  4. Review & progress

    We track your progress together and adjust as your body responds — so you can see and feel the change over time. As your skin improves, the plan evolves with you.

What treatment involves

The tools behind the treatment.

Every plan is built from your case, not a template. These are the methods Kohei draws on to put it together.

A long-form appointment that goes through your history, diet, lifestyle and mental-emotional health — the whole picture, not just the skin.

Where your history alone does not explain the picture, we look further into what is actually driving the condition, rather than working from assumption.

What you leave with is written for your case and the life you actually have — never a template handed to everyone with the same diagnosis.

We track how you respond and adjust as things shift, so the plan keeps matching where you are now rather than where you started.

The part that holds everything else in place. Practical, specific changes to how you eat, sleep, move and manage stress — built around the life you actually have, so they last past the treatment plan.

These photographs come from Waterwell patients and are published with their permission, with identifying features masked at their request. Each pair is shown in the same framing. All reflect a course of individualised naturopathic care — consultation, dietary and lifestyle change — followed over months rather than a single appointment. Every case is different and individual results will vary.

Our belief

“Wellness from within.”

Every health challenge has a path forward — and your skin is no exception. Conditions like eczema and dermatitis are rarely just skin-deep; they’re often a reflection of an internal system asking for balance. By deeply listening to your story and taking a comprehensive, holistic approach, we work together to address the root causes and gently guide your body back to its natural state of harmony.

Absolutely. Children are far more likely to suffer from eczema than adults, so many of our patients are little ones. Kohei works through it with the parent as much as the child, so you know what you are doing and why at every stage.

It’s a relaxed 15-minute conversation to chat about your current skin issue and how I may be able to help — so you can feel confident before deciding to book an initial consultation. No pressure, no obligation.

The core difference comes down to philosophy: symptom management vs root-cause investigation. A dermatologist can offer excellent diagnostics and medications that improve symptoms quickly, but these can mask the problem without addressing what’s driving it. As naturopaths we investigate the internal balance — and through nutrition, dietary and lifestyle adjustments, we work to restore it.

Yes. Naturopathic care is complementary — it works alongside your existing care. Kohei will never tell you to stop a prescribed medication without your wish to and a conversation with your doctor first. Many patients find that, as their health improves, they can wean off medications at a comfortable pace.

Every case and every individual is unique, so timeframes vary. Some people notice changes within weeks; deeper, lasting change takes longer. After your initial consultation you’ll receive a tailored Estimated Progress Timeline, so you know roughly what to expect.

The initial consultation is 75 minutes. You’ll complete a health questionnaire beforehand, then we talk through your history, lifestyle and diet in depth to understand your triggers and root cause. You’ll get a temporary plan to get started, and a fully personalised treatment plan the following week.

Have your consultation from the comfort of your own home — grab your favourite drink, settle on the couch, and we begin with a click. You avoid the traffic and the drive across town, save on fuel and public-transport costs, and cut your carbon footprint. And there’s no difference in effectiveness: with over a decade treating patients in-clinic and online, Kohei can help you whether you’re in town or halfway across the world.

Yes! Kohei sees patients from all over the world via online consultations. Consultations are delivered by secure video, so where you live is not a barrier.
