Are you easy to reach from St Albans?
Yes! Our clinic is in Kealba, just a short drive from St Albans. By car it’s about 10 minutes via Main Road and Pascoe Vale Road, with free on-site parking. Public transport is also convenient – take the Upfield Line to Coburg Station then Bus 527 or 535 towards Sunshine. Travel time is around 25 minutes.
Can naturopathy help with fatigue, gut issues, or hormonal imbalance?
Absolutely. Many St Albans patients visit us for digestive complaints like bloating or IBS, hormonal symptoms, fatigue, skin issues, and more. We use functional testing such as GI Map, hormone panels, and food sensitivity testing to uncover root causes, then create personalised plans with nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and natural therapies.
What is included in the initial consultation?
Our 60-minute consultation ($197 per person) includes a comprehensive health history review, symptom assessment, discussion of your goals, and review of any previous test results. We also explain relevant testing options and create a personalised treatment plan, including diet and supplement guidance where appropriate.
Do I need to stop my medications to see a naturopath?
No, not at all! We work collaboratively alongside your GP and specialists. Many St Albans 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.
How much do supplements typically cost?
Supplement costs vary based on your individual needs, but most St Albans 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. Payment plans are available if needed.
Can you help with food sensitivities and elimination diets?
Yes! We use targeted testing to identify food sensitivities or triggers, eliminating months of trial-and-error diets. Once results are clear, we create a personalised nutrition plan and support gut healing so foods can eventually be safely reintroduced.
What if I've tried naturopathy before and it didn't work?
Many St Albans patients tell us this. 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 personalised based on your lab results. Plus, we follow up regularly to adjust treatment as needed.
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.
