Are you close to public transport for Pascoe Vale residents?
Yes! Our clinic is accessible via train and bus from Pascoe Vale. Take the Upfield
Line to Coburg Station, then Bus 527 or 535 towards Sunshine. Travel time is approximately
20-25 minutes. Alternatively, it's a quick 10-minute drive via Pascoe Vale Road with
free parking on-site at our clinic.
Can naturopathy help with chronic stress and burnout?
Absolutely. Many Pascoe Vale professionals come to us with stress-related health issues
including fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and burnout. We use functional testing (like cortisol
and hormone panels) to identify adrenal dysfunction, then create targeted treatment plans
with adaptogens, nutritional support, and lifestyle strategies. Most patients notice improved
energy and stress resilience within 4-6 weeks.
What's included in the $197 initial consultation?
Your 60-minute initial consultation includes: in-depth health history review, symptom
analysis, discussion of your health goals, review of any existing medical tests,
physical examination if needed, personalized treatment recommendations, and a detailed
plan forward. You'll also receive supplement recommendations and dietary guidance. Most
Pascoe Vale patients say it's the most comprehensive health assessment they've ever had.
Do I need to stop my medications to see a naturopath?
No, absolutely not! We work collaboratively alongside your GP and specialists. Many
Pascoe Vale patients continue their medications while working with us. We focus on
complementary approaches that support your overall health. Never stop or change
medications without consulting your prescribing doctor first. Our goal is to work
WITH your medical team, not replace them.
How much do supplements typically cost?
Supplement costs vary based on your individual needs, but most Pascoe Vale patients
invest $80-150 per month initially, reducing to $40-80 per month for maintenance. We
only recommend what's truly necessary based on your testing results. We use
practitioner-grade supplements with therapeutic doses – far more effective than
supermarket vitamins. Payment plans available for testing and supplements if needed.
Can you help with food intolerances and elimination diets?
Yes, this is one of our specialties! Rather than guessing, we use food sensitivity testing
(IgG panels testing up to 200 foods) to identify exactly what's triggering your symptoms.
This eliminates months of trial-and-error elimination diets. We then create a personalized
nutrition plan and help you heal your gut so you can eventually reintroduce foods safely.
What if I've tried naturopathy before and it didn't work?
Many Pascoe Vale patients tell us the same thing. The difference with our approach is we
use comprehensive functional testing FIRST to identify root causes, rather than guessing.
We don't use generic protocols – everything is personalized based on your actual lab results.
Plus, we follow up regularly to adjust treatment as needed. If you didn't get results before,
it's likely because the underlying issue wasn't properly identified.
Do you offer payment plans for testing?
Yes! We understand that comprehensive testing is an investment in your health. We offer
flexible payment plans for testing packages. We'll work with you to create a testing and treatment
plan that fits your budget while still getting you the results you need.
