Rooted in Nature.
Guided by Science.

Naturopathy for people who want to understand why they feel the way they do and treat the root cause; not just manage their symptoms.

What I work with

Herbal Medicine

Liquid herbal formulations, tea blends and skincare that are made tailored to your case and adjusted as your health improves.

Naturopathy

A full picture of your health including diet, lifestyle, genetics, medical history and pathology results; mapped out and interconnected in each consultation.

Nutrition Plans

Dietary meal plans, recipes and nutritional supplementation for achievable goals and targeted support throughout all of life’s stages.

In short

Health that makes sense to you.

Most people arrive with a folder full of results, a long list of symptoms and no clear connection between them. Sleep is off, digestion feels unpredictable and energy has been quietly dropping – each issue looked at on its own and often not further investigated.

My job is to connect these dots and give you the answers you’re looking for. I will take a full health history, use pathology testing and referrals where necessary and work with you to meet you where you are. I collaborate with GP’s, specialists and other healthcare practitioners to ensure you are taken care of from all branches of medicine.

Using herbal medicine, nutrition and other tools in my toolkit, we are setting goals that feel achievable for where you are right now; and manageable in the long run.

Our consultation is unhurried, evidence-based and designed to empower you toward the beginning of your health journey. Your transformation will align with your current lifestyle and sit alongside any care you already receive.

Meet Elise

Hello, I’m Elise

I am a qualified naturopath and herbalist based in south-east Melbourne, Australia; consulting both in clinic and across telehealth platforms.

I found this path the way most people find naturopathy – through my own battle with chronic eczema and being told “you can’t get rid of it, you just have to deal with it”.

What I offer you is the appointment I wanted then – the appointment we all deserve – unhurried, comprehensive and inspiring.

Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?

Traditional, holistic medicine that is focused on healing the root cause – medicine that seeks to understand you.

Prevention is at the heart of naturopathic medicine. Rather than waiting until illness fully develops, naturopathy aims to recognise early signs of dysfunction and address it, before further progression occurs. Chronic disease does not appear overnight; it is the result of dysfunction that has accumulated over time.

How I Can Help

Some of the Conditions I Help Treat

Digestive health

Bloating, pain, reflux, food allergies & IBS. Let’s test, connect and formulate a plan to address the driving forces of your gut inflammation

Hormonal balance

Balancing cycles, managing PMS & menopause, supporting fertility and transitioning off birth control – no hormone is too imbalanced to fix

Energy & fatigue

Tired? Flat? No motivation? We’ll uncover diet, lifestyle habits, and body system dysregulation to get you jumping out of bed in the mornings

Stress & Sleep

Nervous system regulation to slow down and put that “wired but tired” feeling to bed once and for all

Immune support

Hayfever and anti-viral support all year round, as well as fewer colds through the winter and a faster, stronger bounce-back when it does hit

Skin health

Clearing eczema, acne and signs of ageing from the inside out, one layer at a time

Elise’s approach

Four principles that shape my consulting approach:

Test, don’t guess

I interpret existing standard and functional pathology results first and refer you for specific tests later if and when necessary, so your treatment is based on evidence rather than a hunch.

Integrative collaboration

I will happily work alongside your GP, specialist or other healthcare practitioner and keep them in the loop so you don’t have to.

0% profit margin mark-up

A 0% mark-up on all practitioner only supplements ordered directly through me, as I believe healthcare should be affordable and accessible to everyone.

No polypharmacy

Natural supplements are not magic pills and I am not a pharmacist. I will not be giving you a million different supplements, as I believe they will not restore your health the way getting the basics right first, will.
