The Birth of Kurrajong Natural Medical Centre

It is now 3 months since we’ve opened Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre & Wildcrafted Cottage and the community of Kurrajong and surrounding area have embraced and supported us with open arms. Thank you all.

Now that the centre is open and growing week by week there’s no longer a place for ‘The Birth of Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre’ and all our news and events will be posted on our Wildcrafted Cottage Website

We hope you’ll continue to follow the news and events through our new website and please feel free to contact us or drop into the Centre if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Starting in November 2009, Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre will begin running a series of courses covering a range of Natural Therapies.

Courses include ‘the layman’s guide to natural therapies’, which has been a popular course for people who are interested in alternative medicine and it’s range of disciplines, but because they lack information, have not yet sought such treatments.

This course will look at the major natural medicine modalities and discuss:

• What they are
• How they work
• How natural medicine and orthodox medicine can complement each other
• How natural medicine can help maintain and regain good health
• Find out which therapy is best for your particular health issue
• How to find a qualified natural therapist
• What natural therapies can and cannot do
• And much more.

Not only has this course been of interest to the lay person, but many health professionals have also attended this course with a few to find out more and increase their level of understanding about natural medicine and it’s disciplines.

“We first conceived this course over 10 years ago, because we found that people from all walks of life were increasingly interested in what natural medicine could do for them”, said Susan.

“The aim was not to sell alternative medicine, but rather to provide information that is factual and provides a more complete picture of how an individual could use natural medicine to improve their health. What surprised us initially was the high level of interest expressed by orthodox medical practitioners and nurses”, said Susan Siegenthaler, who as formulated and taught this course now for many years.

Susan is a medical herbalist and Aromatherapist with over 25 years of experience in private practice and teaching. Together with her husband and business partner Danny, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, they’ve started their new clinic, Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre and are now offering this course free to anyone that wishes to find out more about natural medicine.

The course will be held over 4 weeks at: Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre. For more details please call (02) 5673 0784 or drop in at:

Well, it’s finally happening. Wildcrafted Herbal Products has started the process of setting up a unique Natural Medicine Centre.

This blog will allow anyone who is interested to follow the construction and setting up of our first retail outlet. But Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre is so much more than just another retail outlet for our range of natural skin care products. It will also contain a Clinic that provides a full range of Alternative medicine and natural therapies ranging from Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine to Remedial massage, Aromatherapy and so much more.

Kurranjong Natural Medicine Centre will also be hosting free information seminars, workshops and classes including Tai Chi classes and many more to come.

The intention of these pages is for you to see each stage of the process from the empty shell of the current premises to the completed shop & clinic - which will hopefully be in late September 2009.

This is what will become the retail and reception area of Kurrajong Natural Medicine Centre - the hub, if you like. Here you will be able to purchase any of our Wildcrafted Herbal Products from our skin care to the therapeutic range. You’ll be able to make appointments to see one of our physicians.

Stepping down from the entrance is what we currently refer to as ‘the dance hall’. It is a very large space intented for classes, workshops and the like.

To the right will be the clinic area and dispensary. There will be two treatment rooms, a waiting area and the dispensary.

We hope you’ll find following the process interesting and I’m sure there will be some hilarious mishaps and misadventures before this project is complete…say tuned and have a giggle.
