Get holistic support for your health with our Naturopaths at Brisbane Livewell Clinic

1A. Initial Naturopath Consultation

• Initial Naturopath Consultation ($220) (45 mins - 1 hour)

This appointment is expected to take between 40 minutes and 1 hour. During this appointment, you will describe any health symptoms, health challenges and/or concerns with your Naturopath, who will start to fit necessary jigsaw puzzle pieces together and plan how these can be treated.

Your Naturopath may develop a Treatment Plan for you to follow, or may advise that they will develop a Treatment Plan at the next consultation (particularly if they are recommending that you get testing). 

OR

1B. Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation

• Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation ($270) (1 hour - 1 1/2 hours)

This appointment is expected to take between 1 hour and 90 minutes and is intended to give you enough time to discuss more complex health issues (or interrelated health challenges) with your Naturopath.

During this appointment, you will describe any health symptoms, health challenges and/or concerns with your Naturopath, who will start to fit necessary jigsaw puzzle pieces together and plan how these can be treated.

Your Naturopath may develop a Treatment Plan for you to follow, or may advise that they will develop a Treatment Plan at the next consultation (particularly if they are recommending that you get testing).

1C. Initial Fertility or IVF Consultation (for Singles or Couples)

• Initial Fertility or IVF Consultation (for Singles or Couples) ($330) (1 hour to 1 1/2 hours)

You should book this consultation rather than the Initial Naturopath Consultation or the Initial (Complex) Naturopath Consultation if you are in the process of trying to fall pregnant, have fertility concerns, or are on the IVF journey. Because the health of both partners can affect their ability to conceive, this consultation gives our Naturopaths the chance to meet with both partners, discuss their health and current lifestyle, and develop a Treatment Plan that will support the ability to conceive.

Due to the extensive nature of the required discussion surrounding fertility or IVF, this consultation is expected to take between 1 hour to 90 minutes).

1D. Iridology Consultation

• Iridology Consultation ($220) (45 mins to 1 hour)

Iridology is a non-invasive holistic healing technique that involves studying the coloured part of the eye, as the iris can be used to understand every organ of the body. Observations of the iris can be used as a de facto window into the body itself. This consultation is expected to take between 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Through Iridology, we have an amazingly effective way to understand more about our patients’ health. For example, signs of discolouration in the iris can reveal weaknesses in the body, and this can inform preventive health support strategies. In this way, Iridology is a highly useful diagnostic tool for detecting problematic signs that in time could lead to disease or dysfunction.

Testing (optional but may be recommended)

Your Naturopath may recommend you carry out some tests, depending on the nature of your symptoms. These may include:

• Blood Tests - either through your GP or privately (in which case your Naturopath will give you a Pathology Request Form)
• Stool Sample
• SIBO Test
• DNA Testing (including Methylation)
• Hormone Testing with DUTCH Complete Test
• Food Intolerance Testing for Adults (IgG) - 96 Foods
• Food Intolerance Testing for Child (including blood draw) - 96 Foods
• Food Allergy and Intolerance Testing for Adults (IgG/IgA) - 96 Foods

Our pricing is subject to change - if the supplier charges extra for your test kit or postage we will ask you to pay that extra. We will keep you informed of any changes. 

How it works is that you pay for the test kit at the end of your appointment. We then send away for the test kit to the supplier, and ask them to deliver the kit to your home address. You take the test in accordance with the supplier's instructions, and then you post the used samples or specimens back to the supplier. The supplier will send us your test results when they are ready, and we will let you know if you haven't already booked an appointment.

Please note that for compliance reasons, we are not able to provide your test results to you without you attending a Naturopath Test Results Consultation, as your Naturopath will need to interpret your results and identify the best way forward after that. 

We are unfortunately unable to influence the speed of the test results arriving, so we do not offer a refund for test results that "take too long". On average, you may need to wait 3 or 4 weeks to receive your test result. We regularly check in with the supplier on your behalf to see whether your results have arrived.

Supplements and Liquid Herbs (optional but may be recommended)

Your Naturopath may recommend that you start taking particular Practitioner-Approved Supplements and/or Liquid Herbs to help support your health condition(s).

We are likely to have these in our lovely Wavell Heights and Cannon Hill Clinic, but we do sometimes need to order them in for you (in which case we will ask for payment up front and will request that you pay for postage to your house if you are not picking them up from the Clinic). 

We have recently substantially reduced the prices of all our supplements to make them more affordable for you.

We hope you find this information helpful as you explore natural and holistic ways to support your health and well-being.
