Unhurried
An initial consultation runs for a full 45 minutes to ensure there is time for you to tell me everything – even the parts that feel “too small”
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”.
Well, that answer wasn’t good enough for me so I decided to educate myself on the why and the how my eczema came to be.
Growing up with a chronic illness that’s visible to the world really affects the way you feel – I was always itchy, I was in pain and I was self-conscious. Like all eczema sufferers, I had questions that were never answered and steroid medication constantly thrown at me with no education about the long-term side effects that were to eventually follow.
I’m now in my late 20s still dealing with eczema from time to time; but I have the education, toolkit and proof naturopathy works, to continue healing my skin from the inside out. For me it was eczema, for you it may be something else, but I am confident that naturopathy is the branch of medicine that will help heal your disease the right way.
There is no miracle cure but there is always an answer when I’m sitting opposite you. I’ve been where you are and I wholeheartedly empathise.
What I offer you is the appointment I wanted then – the appointment we all deserve – unhurried, comprehensive and inspiring. A consultation with a qualified practitioner who will stay with you every step of the way on this health journey. You can expect lots of questions, no judgement and a therapeutic plan that you understand well enough to explain to someone else. My goal is for you to leave feeling, not only more educated on why your body is in this state of disease, but empowered and inspired to take a step toward wellbeing and healing.
Outside of the clinic you’ll find me sitting in the sun with a matcha in one hand and a nerdy science book in the other, going for walks with my best friend, testing out my grandmothers’ Greek recipes in mum’s kitchen and trying out the pastries at all of Melbourne’s best bakeries (I mean it’d be rude not to, right?)
