If you have a medical condition that requires medical nutrition therapy (MNT) then we suggest that you book in for a dietetic consultation, which uses established dietetic practices for treating health conditions.
If you're interested in treatment methods and programs that are holistic, incorporate wellbeing, herbal supplements and functional health testing, then a naturopathic consultation is most suitable for you.

How do I make an appointment?
An Initial Consultation is the step in which we assess your needs and goals, identify health priorities to treat, develop a plan of action, and draft a treatment program.
We then follow-up for your response to the treatment plan, arrange for further tests and investigations (if needed), and review how the plan is working for you.
As you progress we then transition to maintaining your progress and setting you up for the future.
