Endometriosis pain isn’t just “period drama” — it’s a full-on horror show sometimes.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to resign yourself to a lifetime of painkillers and heating pads. There are natural ways to ease the pain, calm inflammation, and reclaim your life.
From herbs like cramp bark and turmeric, to key nutrients like magnesium and omega-3s, plus stress management and gentle movement, small shifts can make a big difference in how your body feels.
✨ Your uterus may have a flair for drama… but you have the tools (and support!) to take back control.
If you’re ready to manage endometriosis naturally, safely, and effectively, call us on 4961 4075 to work with a naturopath who understands your journey.

If your child reacts after meals — mood swings, bloating, hyperactivity — it’s not misbehaviour.
It’s their body trying to tell you something about gut health, food sensitivities, or blood sugar regulation.
Early awareness can make mornings calmer, energy more stable, and reduce stress for everyone.
This year, let’s start by listening to their body — not just forcing routine. 💛

If you’re managing Hashimoto’s and only focusing on your thyroid… this might be your missing piece…
Around 70% of your immune system lives in your gut.
When the gut is inflamed, leaky, or out of balance, it can keep your immune system in overdrive - and that can mean continued thyroid attacks.
✨ Gut support can help:
✔ Reduce immune activation
✔ Calm inflammation
✔ Support thyroid health long-term
If you’re not sure where to start, our naturopath Kate can help you uncover what’s driving the immune response and create a plan that supports your gut, immune system and thyroid 🤍

Feeling wired, tired, and one coffee away from a meltdown? 😅
Magnesium might be the missing piece in your stress puzzle. From calming your nervous system to relaxing tight muscles and helping you sleep, magnesium is the chill-out mineral your body actually needs. 🧘♀️💤
But here is the thing... not all Magnesium is the same and it is important that you get personalised advise on which one is right for you.

Mullen Natural Health Centre has been serving the community of Newcastle in some form since 1958. While Peter Mullen has owned and lead the current business for nearly three decades, its history stretches back 60 years.
Our Family business is home to Naturopaths and nutritionists whom are experts in treating anxiety, mental health, women’s health, gut heath, thyroid health as well as childrens’ health. Our practice in Hamilton hosts our consult rooms and the Herb Bar, leading the way in over the counter natural medicines where drop-in consults are held . We are an all-in-one for acute care as well as symptomatic, long term and wellness health care.
Peter Mullen grew up in a very health-focused family, so it was only natural that he would go on to pursue a career in health. After achieving his degree in Naturopathy at the NSW College of Natural Therapies, Peter was lucky enough to return to his hometown of Newcastle to work for McKay BioChemist in 1989 - a time when very few people were hiring Naturopaths.
The practice was established by Clary McKay in 1958, and was one of the only natural health clinics in the region. The McKays had a fantastic reputation and people would queue down the stairs to see the McKays at HP Chambers in Hamilton.
With the help and encouragement of his then-girlfriend (now wife) Dayna, Peter managed to scrape together enough money to buy the business in 1992. Despite it being a struggle at the time to make ends meet, they have never looked back.
1993 was a huge year for the business - Peter started his monthly visits to Singleton on Saturdays with our Care Assistant Mary, who still accompanies him all these years later.
It was also the year Dayna purchased the block of land behind HP Chambers with the vision of building the Murray Street practice. Two years, many thousands of dollars of debt, and one child later, they had built the beautiful new practice that the business still occupies today.
At the time, Peter was the only practitioner. Today, we have six Naturopaths with a wide range of specialities treating patients every week.
Mullen Natural Health Centre is built on the principles of honesty, integrity, and respect, and Peter believes he owes much of his success to upholding these principles.
After nearly 30 years of practice, Peter has been fortunate enough to help hundreds of people get to the bottom of their health conditions and get back on the path to wellness. The thing he loves the most about working in the same practice all this time is the privilege of treating four generations of the same family - Peter still sees some clients he treated in his very first month of practice with the McKays.
Throughout his career, Peter has witnessed Australia’s obesity crisis, the exponential use of antibiotics and increasing issues with the health of our kids. While it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of our health, Peter is encouraged by the increasing number of people who are thinking about their health in a holistic way, and using their own intuition to listen to their bodies to find a natural path to wellness.
