Christelle Stockdale Naturopath

About Christelle

I am a Naturopathic and Functional Medicine practitioner with over 16 years of clinical experience.

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of acute and chronic health concerns, using a systems-based approach to understand the underlying drivers of symptoms rather than focusing on symptom management alone.

I trained in Naturopathic and Herbal Medicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), and I am a registered practitioner with the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (ANP) and the General Naturopathic Council (GNC).

I have also completed the Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) programme with the Institute for Functional Medicine, which supports my integrative and evidence-informed approach.

​

Who I Work With

I work with individuals who feel unwell despite being told their tests are normal, and who are looking for a more in-depth and personalised approach.

​

I commonly support:

  • Hormonal imbalances, fertility, perimenopause and menopause. Endometriosis, PCOS (PMOS).

  • Thyroid conditions, including Hashimoto’s

  • Digestive concerns such as IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis and chronic gut issues

  • Autoimmune conditions

  • Fatigue, burnout, and stress-related depletion

  • Skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis

  • Mould-related illness and more complex, chronic cases

Why I Do This Work

I came to naturopathy and functional medicine through personal experience. As a teenager and into my twenties, I spent years feeling unwell without receiving clear answers or meaningful support. Like many of my patients, I was told everything looked “normal”, yet I knew something wasn’t right.

That experience led to a genuine interest in medicine. I passed the graduate entry exam for medical school (GAMSAT) and was preparing to follow a conventional route, but after attending an introductory lecture at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, my direction changed completely.

I wanted to practise medicine in a way that sees the body as an interconnected system and focuses on identifying and addressing underlying causes, rather than managing symptoms in isolation. Naturopathy offered exactly that.

Why It Matters To Me

I have personally experienced hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, digestive issues, debilitating hormonal pelvic pain and the impact of prolonged stress on the body. I know first-hand how complex and frustrating these patterns can be. 

I have also experienced how effective the right support can be and having gone through all of this, I walk the talk and understand that while healing is not always linear, it is entirely possible with the right approach.

What I'm Like As A Practitioner

I am calm, observant, and naturally curious. I enjoy making sense of complex health patterns and translating them into clear, practical steps.

My aim is to help people feel less overwhelmed, not more. That means simplifying where possible, without losing clinical depth.

Outside of work, I value quiet living, time in nature, travelling, and cooking. These are not separate from my work, they inform it.

Approach to Care

My work combines functional testing with a thorough clinical assessment.

This may include DUTCH hormone testing, GI360 stool analysis, mycotoxin panels, detailed thyroid and adrenal testing, and selected food inflammation and gut barrier testing where appropriate.

Alongside this, I use nutritional therapy and herbal medicine to support the body’s natural processes.

I take a detailed case history at the first consultation and look for patterns across systems, often linking symptoms that may initially appear unrelated.

From there, I create a structured, step by step plan that is realistic and manageable. The aim is to bring clarity and direction, not to overwhelm with excessive changes. I work at a pace that suits each individual.

Where to work with me

I offer online consultations worldwide via video call, and in-person appointments at Surrey Holistic in Godalming.

Experience and training

My approach combines naturopathy, nutrition, functional medicine and herbal medicine to create a deeper understanding of your individual health picture.

With over 16 years of international experience, I have supported more than 1,000 clients through clinical practice and naturopathic roles in leading health retreats, luxury resorts and wellness destinations worldwide.

My training extends beyond nutrition and naturopathy, incorporating herbal medicine, yoga, breathwork, meditation and nervous system regulation. This integrative background allows me to look beyond symptoms and consider the complex interplay between nutrition, biochemistry, lifestyle, stress and the body’s natural ability to restore balance.

Rather than applying a generic protocol, I combine clinical insight with personalised testing and a whole person approach to create targeted, adaptable plans designed around your unique needs.
