Naturopathic Consultation

Modern Naturopathy blends current evidence-based medicine with traditional philosophies of holistic healing. We believe the human body holds all the power to heal itself & it’s my job as your naturopath to provide you with the right tools to guide you on your health journey.

  • All consultations are available in our in-person clinic or online.

    Initial Consultation

    A comprehensive 90-minute deep dive into your current condition and full health history. Starting with your presenting concerns we will explore all aspects of your life that may contribute to your mental, emotional and physical health.

    We will meet again either in-person or on zoom within seven days for me to present you with your initial treatment plan. This cost included in initial consultation cost and only requires 30 minutes.

    Follow-up Consultation

    After being presented with your initial health plan. These consultations are recommended every 2-4 weeks on a case-by-case basis and range from 30 to 60 minutes. These consults are important to discuss your progress, any changes in your health and make potential amendments to your treatment plan. Follow-up consults are also used to review test results such as microbiome mapping or pathology results.

    Please see my bookings page for pricing & available times.

  • The naturopathic approach utilises nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, lifestyle interventions and dietary modification to achieve your health goals.

    Your treatment plan will include comprehensively researched evidence-based recommendations individualised to your health condition.

    A referral to your general practitioner and the pathology lab may be required if we feel you need further support outside of our scope of naturopathic practice.

    All recommended supplements, herbal medicines & functional testing are kept only to what is required and are at an additional cost to your consultation fee.

    The presented health plan is made to be an open discussion so that the recommendations included are manageable and sustainable for you. The health plan will be amended and updated as you progress along your health journey or there are changes to your health condition.

  • These consultations can be booked where no in-depth review of your health is required or change to your treatment plan. These appointments are beneficial for supplement review or for access to practitioner-only products & herbal medicines where an acute condition is present.

Individualised Testing

Functional testing assesses for imbalances within the body at a cellular & molecular level giving direct answers to what may be contributing to your current health condition. These tests are by practitioner referral only & usually involve blood, stool, urine, breath or hair analysis. Functional testing is beneficial as it allows for a more targeted approach in your treatment plan to achieve your health goals more efficiently.

  • Hydrogen Methane Breath Test: Used in the diagnosis of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Fructose malabsorption & Lactose intolerance.

    Lactulose-Mannitol Test: Tests for the presence of intestinal permeability (“leaky gut’).

    Metabiome - Microbiome Sampling: Stool chemistry & culture of bacteria, yeast & parasites, as well as markers of digestive enzymes, food absorption & gut inflammation.

  • DUTCH (Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones) Test: Evaluates reproductive and adrenal hormones. It is a urine test, dried on collection, that is currently the most comprehensive adrenal and reproductive hormone test available for both men and women. Hormones measured (35 in total) include DHEA, Progesterone, Oestrogen (3 forms), Testosterone, Cortisol, Cortisone, and Melatonin as well as their metabolites.

  • Blood Work Analysis: Clinical naturopaths can look beyond the generic reference ranges of blood results to search for sub-optimal deficiencies that may be contributing to your current health condition. Paige has completed further expertise in pathology assessment through Rachel Arthur Nutrition (RAN) comprehensive diagnostics courses.

    I may refer you to your GP for specific blood tests that I feel would help support more targeted treatment. If you have any previous blood work done, please bring this to your consultation.

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): Method to measure the mineral and trace element levels as well as balance in the human body, tests for the presence of the greatest range of toxic materials.

    Organic Acids Test: Markers of toxic burden & detox pathways.

  • Organic Acids Test (OAT): A comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast, bacteria, vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter levels.
