Brindabella Natural Health Centre

Brindabella Natural Health Centre is a complementary wellness centre in the Dickson Chambers Building at Dickson Shops, Canberra’s Inner North. The centre brings together more than 19 therapies, with services described on its website ranging from acupuncture and counselling to naturopathy, kinesiology, Ayurveda, Ayurvedic massage, craniosacral bodywork, iridology and Reiki. It also offers health-support products and runs workshops focused on whole-body wellbeing. Appointments can be made with individual practitioners, with phone and video consultations available for some services.

The centre’s practitioners have different areas of training and focus. Marie-Ange Arundel is presented as a naturopath, counsellor, kinesiologist, iridologist and nutritionist, with a background that includes nursing, teaching, bodywork and more than 30 years working across conventional and natural health. Her listed areas include personal, couple and family counselling, grief and stress support, conflict resolution, fertility and menopause support, digestive concerns, skin issues, joint pain, weight management and hair tissue mineral analysis. She also teaches Touch for Health, kinesiology and personal development workshops.

Dr Nikita Sameer brings an Ayurvedic focus to the centre. She holds a BAMS qualification from an Ayurvedic college in India and combines Ayurvedic consultations with training in Reiki and Access Bars. Her website profile describes a personalised approach to lifestyle-related concerns, stress and general physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Ayurveda, Ayurvedic massage and related treatments can be discussed with her directly when arranging an appointment. The centre says its practitioners are professionally qualified and follow the ethical codes of their professional associations, although its website also makes clear that its information is not a substitute for independent professional or medical advice.

With its range of practitioners and therapy styles, Brindabella is suited to people looking to explore complementary approaches in one established Dickson location, whether they are interested in a single consultation, ongoing support or a workshop. It may appeal particularly to solo visitors seeking naturopathy, counselling, kinesiology or Ayurveda, as well as people wanting to discuss their needs before choosing a modality. The setting is described simply as a practice on the second floor of the Dickson Chambers Building, rather than as a café, retail destination or social venue, so visits are centred on booked consultations, practitioner availability and wellbeing services.
