Naturopath Canberra - The Holistic Naturopath

Naturopath Canberra – The Holistic Naturopath is a complementary health practice in Belconnen, Canberra, founded by clinical naturopath Michelle. The practice describes its work as holistic and individualised, looking beyond isolated symptoms to explore possible underlying contributors to a person’s health concerns. Consultations may consider physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as diet, lifestyle and daily habits.

Michelle completed her naturopathy studies at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in 2015 and the website says she has more than 10 years of clinical experience. Her main modalities include herbal medicine, targeted nutrition and lifestyle medicine, with functional testing used where appropriate. She also has an interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine and combines Eastern and Western perspectives in her approach. The broader Lakeside Wellness team includes Rebecca, a naturopath with more than 20 years’ experience, and Dianna, a degree-qualified clinical naturopath with over 15 years’ experience who also works with Somatic Experiencing and Neuro Emotional Technique.

The clinic lists support for a wide range of concerns, including digestive disturbances, food sensitivities, irritable bowel syndrome, reflux, SIBO, fatigue, chronic stress, anxiety, sleep issues, hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopausal symptoms, thyroid concerns, skin conditions and immune issues. Women’s health, hormones, gut health, chronic conditions and post-viral recovery are particular areas of interest across the practitioners. Treatment plans may involve nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, targeted supplementation and functional testing, depending on the practitioner and the client’s needs.

This is best suited to people looking for a thorough naturopathic consultation rather than a quick, symptom-focused appointment, particularly those managing ongoing or complex concerns. The practitioners’ profiles also describe working alongside conventional medicine and tailoring care to existing treatments where relevant. The website currently notes that new-client and initial naturopathic consultation bookings are closed, with follow-up appointments available for existing clients, so prospective clients should check the latest booking information before planning a visit.
