After six weeks of support, I felt much more informed and comfortable with my gut health.
He was professional, thorough, and easy to talk to throughout the process.
Highly recommend seeing him!
He's helped me improve my health in a holistic and sustainable way with regard to different adrenals/anxiety and fertility/hormonal issues.
Most recently, I went to three GPs with a range of symptoms. All of them said that despite the severity of my symptoms there was nothing they could do - basically I had to put up with the symptoms for the rest of my life. It was such a cop-out and they all lacked interest in trying to find out the root cause of my symptoms. With some of them, I barely spent five minutes talking to them before they finished up the consult.
Consistently with Domenic, he takes his time to really find out how I'm feeling. Not just the surface, immediate concerns - he wants to know how I'm going in all aspects of my life. From that, he is able to discern what might be the underlying cause of the seemingly random symptoms. I really feel seen and heard when I go to him, no matter how unusual my symptoms might be.
Always, my body and mind feels so much better - often in a matter of a day or two after taking the supplements he's prescribed. It always marvels me that when my symptoms start to fade, I feel like my mind and body are "coming home". I feel so much more in balance, so much more of myself again.
For me, the reality is that there may or may not be a magic bullet solution. However, through his skills and expertise, Domenic definitely helps me feel stronger, empowered and more in charge to manage my symptoms so that I live the life I want and not be overwhelmed by my symptoms.
From the beginning, he took a thorough and thoughtful approach, including comprehensive urine testing to truly understand what my body needed. That testing allowed us to create a clear, personalised plan rather than relying on guesswork, which gave me enormous confidence in the process.
Dom focused on supporting my nervous system, sleep, mood and overall wellbeing throughout withdrawal. While there were challenging moments, I never felt alone — I felt guided. His depth of knowledge, reassurance and practical strategies helped me stay grounded and empowered every step of the way.
What really stood out was Dom’s honesty and integrity. Unlike other practitioners I’ve encountered, there was never a sense of being “sold to” or pushed into unnecessary treatments. His focus was always on what was genuinely best for my health and long‑term wellbeing.
Dom’s holistic and ethical approach made what could have been a daunting experience feel manageable, supported and safe. I’m incredibly grateful.
He takes the time to explain what’s going on and puts together a plan that’s practical and tailored to you. I’ve learnt a lot about my health since seeing him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a naturopath who knows his stuff.
For over a decade, I struggled with various health issues that worsened over time. After undergoing immunotherapy and on numerous medications, I began developing autoimmune-like issues. A friend suggested a microbiome test, and I found Dom provided these testing services, which gave me confidence in pursuing evidence-based treatment. Unlike my previous experiences with doctors who only treated symptoms, Dom really helped to address the underlying issues.
Within weeks, i saw noticeable improvements and within months, I felt like a new person—all through natural remedies and a healthier lifestyle, with Dom keeping me accountable. I’ve recommended him to family and friends whom have had positive experiences as well.
Two years on, I still schedule in sessions to stay on track amidst the stress and chaos of daily life, which can lead me back to poor habits.
Thank you for your invaluable support. I look forward to continuing to use your services.

Targeted diagnostic programs
There are two main ways to work with us. Some clients begin with a standard naturopathic consultation at $197, while others start with a diagnostic program that includes both advanced testing and a discounted consultation bundled together.
Our diagnostic programs range from $447 to $647 and include the cost of the functional test plus a ninety minute consultation, which is billed at $97 when part of the program instead of the standard $197 standalone consultation fee.

Common questions
How is this different from my GP
Your GP does an excellent job of ruling out disease and managing acute conditions. Our role is to look at functional patterns that may not show on standard testing, such as microbiome balance, hormone rhythm and nutrient status, and to build a plan that complements your medical care.
Do I need testing to work with you
Not in every case. During your free discovery call we discuss your history and what you have tried so far. For some people we can make progress without extensive testing. For complex or long standing issues, targeted tests often provide essential clarity and direction.
