What are Naturopaths?
Naturopaths are health practitioners who apply natural therapies to support their patients to improve their health and wellness. Naturopathy can include a range of treatments such as herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle advice, iridology and homeopathy, and each Naturopath will practice their own combination of these treatments.
Naturopaths focus on comprehensive enquiry and testing to understand the root causes of a patient's illnesses and the provision of holistic, proactive health support. By treating the whole person and addressing the root causes of their health conditions, Naturopaths aim to support the restoration of health and promote well-being in a manner that is complementary to their patient's traditional medical treatment.

Our Naturopath Services
1A. Initial Naturopath Consultation
- Initial Naturopath Consultation ($220) (45 mins - 1 hour)
This appointment is expected to take between 40 minutes and 1 hour. During this appointment, you will describe any health symptoms, health challenges and/or concerns with your Naturopath, who will start to fit necessary jigsaw puzzle pieces together and plan how these can be treated.
Your Naturopath may develop a Treatment Plan for you to follow, or may advise that they will develop a Treatment Plan at the next consultation (particularly if they are recommending that you get testing).
OR
1B. Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation
- Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation ($270) (1 hour - 1 1/2 hours)
This appointment is expected to take between 1 hour and 90 minutes and is intended to give you enough time to discuss more complex health issues (or interrelated health challenges) with your Naturopath.
During this appointment, you will describe any health symptoms, health challenges and/or concerns with your Naturopath, who will start to fit necessary jigsaw puzzle pieces together and plan how these can be treated.
Your Naturopath may develop a Treatment Plan for you to follow, or may advise that they will develop a Treatment Plan at the next consultation (particularly if they are recommending that you get testing).
OR
1C. Initial Fertility or IVF Consultation (for Singles or Couples)
- Initial Fertility or IVF Consultation (for Singles or Couples) ($330) (1 hour to 1 1/2 hours)
You should book this consultation rather than the Initial Naturopath Consultation or the Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation if you are in the process of trying to fall pregnant, have fertility concerns, or are on the IVF journey. Because the health of both partners can affect their ability to conceive, this consultation gives our Naturopaths the chance to meet with both partners, discuss their health and current lifestyle, and develop a Treatment Plan that will support the ability to conceive.
Due to the extensive nature of the required discussion surrounding fertility or IVF, this consultation is expected to take between 1 hour to 90 minutes).
OR
1D. Iridology Consultation
- Iridology Consultation ($220) (45 mins to 1 hour)
Iridology is a non-invasive holistic healing technique that involves studying the coloured part of the eye, as the iris can be used to understand every organ of the body. Observations of the iris can be used as a de facto window into the body itself. This consultation is expected to take between 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Through Iridology, we have an amazingly effective way to understand more about our patients’ health. For example, signs of discolouration in the iris can reveal weaknesses in the body, and this can inform preventive health support strategies. In this way, Iridology is a highly useful diagnostic tool for detecting problematic signs that in time could lead to disease or dysfunction.
Testing (optional but may be recommended)
Your Naturopath may recommend you carry out some tests, depending on the nature of your symptoms. These may include:
- Blood Tests - either through your GP or privately (in which case your Naturopath will give you a Pathology Request Form)
- Stool Sample
- SIBO Test
- DNA Testing (including Methylation)
- Hormone Testing with DUTCH Complete Test
- Food Intolerance Testing for Adults (IgG) - 96 Foods
- Food Intolerance Testing for Child (including blood draw) - 96 Foods
- Food Allergy and Intolerance Testing for Adults (IgG/IgA) - 96 Foods
We only charge you cost price for these test kits - because of this, our pricing on our website is subject to change, and if the supplier charges extra for your test kit or postage we will ask you to pay that extra. We will keep you informed of any changes.
How it works is that you pay for the test kit at the end of your appointment. We then send away for the test kit to the supplier, and ask them to deliver the kit to your home address. You take the test in accordance with the supplier's instructions, and then you post the used samples or specimens back to the supplier. The supplier will send us your test results when they are ready, and we will let you know if you haven't already booked an appointment.
Please note that for legal reasons, we are not able to provide your test results to you without you attending a Naturopath Test Results Consultation, as your Naturopath will need to interpret your results and identify the best way forward after that.
We are unfortunately unable to influence the speed of the test results arriving, so we do not offer a refund for test results that "take too long". On average, you may need to wait 3 or 4 weeks to receive your test result. We regularly check in with the supplier on your behalf to see whether your results have arrived.
Supplements and Liquid Herbs (optional but may be recommended)
Your Naturopath may recommend that you start taking particular Practitioner-Approved Supplements and/or Liquid Herbs to help support your health condition(s).
We are likely to have these in our lovely Wavell Heights and Cannon Hill Clinic, but we do sometimes need to order them in for you (in which case we will ask for payment up front and will request that you pay for postage to your house if you are not picking them up from the Clinic).
We have recently substantially reduced the prices of all our supplements to make them more affordable for you.
2A. Naturopath Test Results Consultation (necessary if you were asked to carry out testing)
- Naturopath Test Results Consultation ($180) (45 mins - 1 hour)
If your Naturopath recommends you carry out some testing, you will need to attend a Naturopath Test Results Consultation once your test results are received.
This consultation is expected to take between 40 minutes to 1 hour and will involve your Naturopath reviewing your test results with you, explaining what they mean, and relating the results to your health challenges and symptoms.
Your Naturopath will also work with you to develop a more comprehensive Treatment Plan.
OR
2B. Subsequent Naturopath Consultation
- Subsequent Naturopath Consultation ($150) (45 mins - 1 hour)
If your Naturopath wants to see you after your Initial Naturopath Consultation, but you haven't carried out any testing, this will be the consultation to book. It is expected to take between 40 minutes to 1 hour.
During this consultation, your Naturopath will work with you to develop a more comprehensive Treatment Plan.
OR
2C. MyDNA Report and Treatment Plan Consultation (necessary if you carried out a MyDNA test)
- MyDNA Report and Treatment Plan Consultation ($220) (1 hour to 1 1/2 hours)
This consultation is expected to take between 1 hour and 90 minutes and allows your Naturopath additional time to discuss the substantial results of the MyDNA Report with you. This consultation should only be booked if you have already attended either an Initial Naturopath Consultation or an Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation and have been advised that the test results for your MyDNA Test Kit have returned.
Testing (optional but may be recommended)
