You can get the help you need from the comfort of your own home. We offer online naturopathic consultations so we can help not only people in our local area but all over Australia and internationally! This makes commiting to your health goals that much easier.

Meet Mel, she is our Naturopathic Skin Expert, and it’s her mission to get to the root cause of your skin concerns.

She is a degree qualified Naturopath with many years of clinical experience in treating chronic and debilitating skin conditions. Not only is skin health her clinical speciality, she also has first hand experience in how life altering skin issues can be, having experienced (and resolved) her own acne, eczema, perioral dermatitis and autoimmune skin conditions.

Her inside-out approach to healing your skin involves a detailed intake; assessment of your whole body (physical, mental and emotional) health; referral for, and analysis of, general and functional pathology. She specialises in gut and hormonal health, as these are the two systems most commonly associated with problematic skin. Mel also helps our clients successfully transition off oral contraception, oral and topical antibiotics and oral and topical steroids.

By addressing imbalances, deficiencies and dysfunction internally, the flow on effects to your skin are life-changing!

We use an online naturopathic dispensary called Vital.ly to prescribe the necessary supplements you may need that get delivered to your door! Melissa also creates personalised herbal tinctures that get expressed posted to your door too.
