Dr Sally Price is an experienced medical practitioner, educator and mentor with more than 35 years of clinical experience, including over 25 years in functional and integrative medicine. Her career has spanned emergency medicine, obstetrics, rural and remote healthcare, and general practice across Australia, providing her with a broad understanding of both acute and chronic health conditions.
Throughout her career, Dr Price has focused on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms. She has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in nutritional and environmental medicine, lifestyle medicine, Ayurveda, microbiome science, DNA and gene SNP analysis, and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, integrating these disciplines into a practical, patient-centred approach to health.
Over the past decade, Dr Price has increasingly devoted her work to practitioner education, coaching and mentoring. She develops educational programmes and resources that translate emerging evidence into practical clinical strategies, helping healthcare practitioners deliver more comprehensive and effective patient care.
In this presentation, Dr Price explores the relationship between emotional regulation and mental wellbeing, examining how emotional awareness, nervous system regulation and practical self-management strategies can complement conventional approaches to mental health. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, she provides clinicians with practical tools that can be incorporated into everyday practice to help patients build resilience, improve emotional literacy and support long-term wellbeing.
