Our Ethos
Cura, Latin for ‘Care’.
At Cura we believe health is not simply the absence of disease but the presence of vitality, balance, and resilience.
Cura reflects the belief that meaningful healthcare begins with listening, understanding and caring for the individual as a whole.
Every consultation is an opportunity to empower individuals with knowledge, inspiring them to understand their bodies, make informed choices, and take an active role in their wellness journey.
Founded by naturopath Eliza Caldow, Cura was created with a passion for helping individuals to better understand their health and reconnect with their body’s innate capacity for healing. From a background as a Registered Nurse and Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) Eliza combines a holistic perspective with an appreciation for evidence-informed, collaborative care, cultivating a space where curiosity and learning are embraced.
By blending compassionate care with education, Cura aims not only to restore health but to nurture long-term wellbeing, supporting each person to live with confidence, clarity, and vitality.
Cura is based in Adelaide, South Australia currently offering Telehealth consultations.
Meet your practitioner
Hi, I’m Eliza, a Clinical Naturopath and Registered Nurse.
My path into naturopathy grew from both my clinical experience and my own health journey, where I saw how complex concerns can often be overlooked or dismissed. It led me to look deeper. That experience shaped the way I now practice - with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to truly listening.
At Cura, I bring together evidence-based medicine with a holistic, root-cause approach. While I value the essential role of Western medicine, particularly in acute care, my focus is on long-term wellbeing, prevention, and supporting the body as a whole.
I believe health is more than the absence of disease - it’s vitality, resilience, and balance. Guided by the principle of doctor as teacher, I aim to empower you with knowledge so you can better understand your body and feel confident in your health decisions.
My approach blends nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and herbal medicine to create realistic, sustainable change, with a focus on gut health, hormones, skin, metabolism, and nervous system health. I remain curious in my practice, always learning and evolving alongside my patients.
At the heart of my work is a belief that your body is communicating with you - and together, we learn how to listen.
I’m glad you’re here.
What is
Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic system of healthcare which recognises the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the right support.
A naturopath works with the whole person, considering the physical, emotional and even energetic aspects of health. Rather than simply treating the symptoms, naturopaths look deeper to address the root causes of imbalance to restore harmony and vitality.
Instead of suppressing symptoms, we ask why they are occurring.

Naturopathic Philosophy
The Healing Power of Nature: The body has a natural ability to restore health when supported correctly.
First Do No Harm: Treatments aim to achieve healing with the least potential for harm.
Identify and Treat the Cause: True healing begins by uncovering and addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Treat the Whole Person: Mind, body, spirit are interconnected - all aspects must be considered for lasting wellness.
Doctor as Teacher: Education empowers individuals to understand and take responsibility for their health.
Prevention: By identifying risk factors and supporting vitality, naturopathy helps prevent illness before it begins.
