Naturopathic medicine (naturopathy) is a holistic medicine approach used to assess, identify and find solutions to your health concerns and sports performance. We use an integrated approach and aim to uncover and address the underlying drivers to your symptoms or poor health.   We take into consideration:

Genetics, health history, nutritional requirements, hormones, stress resilience, mental, immune and digestive health, pathology tests as part of our investigations into your current health issues. 

What's different about sports naturopathy?

Sports-focused naturopathy takes into consideration an athlete’s desire to train and perform without taking unnecessary breaks from exercise. Our sports nutrition and naturopathic medicine approach also appreciates the physical demands and nutrient requirements of an athlete that may differ from the general population.

We can advise you on nutritional requirements, natural plant-based medicines,  high-quality supplements that are Therapeutic Goods Act (TGA) approved, and batch-tested supplements for athletes competing under ASADA and WADA guidelines.

We can collaborate with members of your support team, including trainers, coaches, and medical and allied health practitioners. We also guide athletes toward finding the right contacts to create a balanced and holistic support team.

About our appointments

We offer naturopathy and sports nutrition online across Australia, or in our Torquay clinic.

We see the best results when patients apply consistency and commit to at least three appointments.  Our initial holistic health package offers the best value and includes a full initial assessment, referrals for testing (if required), a treatment plan, and two review consultations.

Once you've booked in we will email you a new patient and consent form which will gather some health history and obtain your consent for us to provide useful information. Instructions on how to find us or a link to your telehealth (online) appointment will also be included in your confirmation email.

If you require an appointment time at a time not shown in our booking system, please contact us directly through our Contact page as we may have some flexibility to accommodate your needs.
