Boost the body’s natural healing potential
Do you feel like something is not quite right, but you’re just not sure what the next step is? Or are you suffering from a chronic illness that cannot be treated by conventional medicine? Do you have digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, hormonal imbalance, fatigue or chronic pain? Naturopathic physicians specialise in treating all these kinds of conditions.
They will respond to your individual needs and develop a health protocol for you to not only recover but to thrive. Each protocol is holistic and based around the art of healing; something that’s more complex than any herbal remedy.
Naturopaths take time to listen to your story. They will assign priorities among options and take time to answer all of your questions.

FAQ's

It includes a variety of alternative therapies; herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, lifestyle guidance, mineral and vitamin support, and more. The approach of naturopaths is non-toxic, drug-free and it’s used in conjunction with established medical procedures in order to ease discomfort and empower healthy habits.

It’s a common misconception that naturopathic doctors treat chronic conditions only. While they are successful in easing the symptoms of chronic illness, you can also visit your naturopathic doctor if you are feeling fatigue, if you have digestive disorders, sleep disturbance or allergies.
The list of conditions naturopathy can treat is long. Think of it this way - whatever discomfort you would consult your family doctor for; you can also seek help from a naturopath.
What makes naturopathic doctors different is the holistic approach to healing and a strong focus on educating and inspiring the patients about all the ways they can prevent discomfort. Naturopaths are on a quest of finding the root of a patient’s illness and they take time to assign priorities among the several treatment options.
Your first appointment will be a bit longer than the conventional visit. You will be asked to
complete some paperwork and that you’ll have a one-to-one session with your naturopath. You will be asked about your medical history, about your sleeping patterns, mood, and levels of stress.
Naturopathic doctors also use laboratory tests and other data in combination with your story in order to determine the most effective treatment for you. The final result is an individually tailored treatment plan.
You should probably expect follow-up visits because it’s important to stay on track with the progress.
The most of insurers in Australia will cover naturopathy on their extras policies. Just make sure what naturopathy therapies are covered and be aware of how much you can claim.
Another important thing is that the natural therapist must be a licensed practitioner who is registered with the fund but your naturopath should also be a member of some of the industry groups (Australian Natural Therapists Association, Naturopathic Practitioners Association or the Australian Traditional Medicine Society).
The initial appointment with a Naturopath in Kula Heath lasts 90 minutes and costs $200. A standard appointment lasts 60 minutes and it costs $150
Express Naturopathy 30 mins - $80.
Usually, patients schedule an appointment two weeks after the first visit. First 3-4 visits are scheduled in two weeks period, but they often stretch to monthly appointments.
