Welcome!

Cultivating Wellness was founded with a simple yet profound mission: to enhance the health and vitality of rural and regional Australians through personalised naturopathic care and holistic support; and to break down silos between the nutrition and agriculture sectors.

Hi. I’m Stacey Curcio

I am the heart and soul of Cultivating Wellness. My journey began when I was a child, learning about dung beetles, ecosystem health and holistic thinking.  Fast-forward 30+ years, and I am passionate about digging for root causes, systems thinking, holistic health and combining modern nutritional and naturopathic science with traditional practices and principles. With a background that spans over a decade in naturopathy, clinical nutrition, and pathology interpretation, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my practice and how I help others. 

By integrating the principles of naturopathy and regenerative agriculture, I offer a unique perspective that is deeply holistic and resonates with those looking to identify root causes; and those who value nature, ecosystems and a healthy future for all.  

I believe in addressing health from all angles – biochemical, biological, physical, mental, emotional, and environmental – to provide comprehensive care. 

My passion for natural health and sustainable practices shines through in everything I do, making me a trusted and respected figure in the health community.

Where did it all start? 

Growing up with parents who ran a Regenerative Agriculture business (RCS Australia) inspired my path to Naturopathy, as both fields share similar principles. I observed and learnt deeply about the concept of regeneration. Even though it didn’t have a name back then, even as a child, working with nature, not against it made sense to me. Visiting farms on school holidays, attending field days, and looking for dung beetles in cow patties was part of my upbringing!

I have also always been passionate about helping others and seeing the ‘ripple’ effects that kindness, exceptional care and individualised support can result in. 

I'm endlessly blown away by the intelligence of nature and human physiology, and am fascinated by nutrition, from the soil, all the way up!
