Naturopathy, Moonee Ponds

Our naturopaths work a little differently to those you may have worked with in the past. We know that with chronic health issues, getting well again takes time. This is why when you join our healthcare program, you get as many appointments with your naturopath, as well as your health coach, as you need to be well again. This ongoing support provided by a healthcare team will help you navigate the new territory you’ll be covering back to wellness.

The first step is to book your initial deep dive consultation and then after your session, if you choose to join our program, you’ll be able to access our simple e-bookings portal to book all your appointments with your naturopath or health coach at a time convenient to you. Once you have followed the prompts to select an available date and time, you’ll receive a booking confirmation email and text, as well as reminders of your appointment closer to the date.

We help residents of Moonee Ponds with skin health conditions like acne, eczema, hives and psoriasis as well as digestive health, health optimisation, and thyroid health. Click to find out how.

Yes! We offer telehealth appointments with our functional medicine trained naturopaths to new and existing patients in Moonee Ponds and Australia-wide. This means whether you’re in Moonee Ponds and surrounding areas in Melbourne, or are in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane or Sydney you can access telehealth sessions with your naturopath, or your health coach from the comfort of home.

Once you’ve signed up to our program, we’ll send you a meeting link to click each time you have a session. All you need to do is make sure you have a good internet connection on your computer or a phone, and a cosy, quiet place to sit.

Your body is unique and so too are your genetics, environment, experiences, eating and lifestyle habits. At Melbourne Functional Medicine, we take the time to consider your whole health picture through an individualised approach.

At your initial consultation, your functional medicine naturopath will spend three hours with you understanding your health picture. Your naturopath will spend the first half of your consultation asking you questions about your lifestyle, diet, genetics and other areas that will give them further insight into the root cause and factors contributing to your health condition. In the second half of your initial consultation, your naturopath will share any insights into your health issues, discuss your treatment plan and answer any questions you may have. They may also recommend further testing to help uncover the root causes of your condition.

Towards the end of your session, your health coach will join you and your naturopath to go through your plan, discuss next steps and any other aspects of the program that your health coach will support you with.

At Melbourne Functional Medicine, all our naturopaths are trained in functional medicine – an approach directed at trying to treat the whole person rather than just the symptom or disease. For people in Moonee Ponds, your naturopath will work with you to uncover the root cause of your chronic health condition by combining modern science with traditional medicine to help you heal.

To help you get the results you set out to achieve, we have designed a program that offers you uncapped access to a health coach who will support and guide you across all aspects of your treatment plan.

This team-based approach to wellness is unique to Melbourne Functional Medicine, and our patients couldn’t be happier with their healthcare.  To find out more about what past patients have to say about us, visit our Success Stories page.
