    Our Naturopaths utilise a variety of functional testing in their practice, including:
    Standard Medical Blood Testing
    Our naturopaths utilise standard pathology tests, including assessments of iron, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid function test and antibodies as well as liver function tests and so on to gain a comprehensive understanding of each clients health. While medical professionals often focus on whether results fall within established reference ranges, our naturopaths take a more nuanced approach, interpreting these results in the context of the client's health and wellbeing. We read between the lines and look for subtle imbalances or skewed results which may indicate underlying health issues.
    Microbiome Mapping
    Microbiome mapping is a comprehensive tool that analyses the diverse community of micro-organisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses residing in the gut. Microbiome testing provides valuable insights into an individual's digestive health, immune function and overall wellbeing. Understanding the unique makeup of your microbiome can help identify imbalances that may be contributing to various health issues, such as digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, mood imbalances, weight struggles and more. By utilising this information, our naturopath can create personalised dietary and lifestyle recommendations as well as provide targeted treatment options to support your gut and get long-lasting change.
    Hormone Testing (DUTCH)
    DUTCH testing, or dried urine test for comprehensive hormones, is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides a detailed analysis of hormone levels and their metabolites. It offers insights into the body’s hormonal patterns, including stress hormones, sex hormones and their relationship to each other. Naturopath’s use DUTCH testing to gain a comprehensive understanding of your hormonal picture. By interpreting the results, they identify imbalances and patterns that may be contributing to health issues. This information allows naturopaths to develop personalised treatment plans that address the root causes, helping to restore balance and support overall well-being.
    Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
    HTMA is a functional test that evaluates the presence and levels of heavy metals and essential minerals in the body. This testing is essential for uncovering toxic exposures and mineral imbalances that can disrupt metabolic processes and contribute to various health issues. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic can interfere with the body’s ability to process essential minerals including iron, leading to stubborn deficiencies. Individuals who struggle with iron deficiency may particularly benefit from HTMA, as increases in heavy metals can displace iron in the body, exacerbating anemia and related symptoms. Addressing heavy metal toxicity not only aids in restoring optimal iron levels but also supports overall metabolic health, helping individuals achieve better well-being.

    There are no silly questions.
    How do I get started?

    Begin with an initial 60-minute consultation. This includes a comprehensive health history to understand your current state of health and identify patterns or concerns. We’ll discuss your diet, lifestyle and symptoms, and create a personalised plan incorporating dietary and lifestyle changes tailored to your needs.

    Where appropriate, we utilise functional testing to uncover microbial or nutritional imbalances, ensuring a targeted and evidence-informed approach.

    After your initial consult, we recommend follow-up consultations (45 minutes) every 2–4 weeks. If you’d like to explore whether naturopathy is right for you first, we also offer a free 15-minute discovery call for new clients.

    Who is this for?

    Naturopathy is ideal for anyone experiencing low energy, digestive discomfort, low libido, stress, hormonal imbalances or simply not feeling their best. It’s particularly helpful for those who sense something is “off” but haven’t found clear answers.

    Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health concerns rather than just managing symptoms. We look deeper — exploring patterns, triggers and underlying imbalances.

    We provide an inclusive, judgement-free environment for all genders, sexual orientations and identities, proudly supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals.

    What does naturopathy involve?

    Working with a naturopath means having a dedicated partner in your health journey. We prioritise active listening and thoughtful questioning, exploring your health history in depth to uncover meaningful insights.

    We assess the timing of symptoms and explore your unique biochemistry, microbiome and hormonal health to build a comprehensive picture. From there, we develop personalised strategies using herbal and nutritional medicine alongside sustainable lifestyle changes.

    When appropriate, we incorporate functional testing to guide interventions. Our goal is to create practical, achievable strategies that align with your lifestyle and support long-term, optimal health.

    What are the benefits of seeing a naturopath?

    Naturopathy treats the whole system, often leading to layered and meaningful improvements across your wellbeing.

    You may experience:

    • Increased energy and libido
    • Improved vaginal and vulva health
    • Enhanced mental clarity
    • Better digestive comfort and regularity
    • Clearer skin
    • A more balanced mood
    • Improved hormonal regulation

    Sometimes the changes are subtle yet powerful — like clearer thinking or a renewed sense of joy and vitality in daily life.

    What are your fees?

    Fees vary depending on the service and practitioner.

    Please refer to our “Book a Session” page for a full list of consultation fees.

    How many sessions should I book?

    The number of consultations required varies depending on your individual health history and how long symptoms have been present. Generally, the longer an issue has existed, the more time it may take to resolve.

    For meaningful and lasting change, our naturopaths prefer to work with clients for a minimum of 4–6 months. Follow-up sessions are typically 30–45 minutes and scheduled every 2–4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust your treatment plan.

    We recommend booking follow-up consultations as a bundle for better value and continuity of care.

    How do I book?

    You can book your discovery call or initial consultation via our booking page.

    How often do we do sessions?

    After your initial consultation, follow-up sessions are usually scheduled every 2–4 weeks for approximately 4–6 months.

    Most clients require between 4–10 sessions for sustainable results. Your naturopath will provide clearer guidance on session frequency after your first appointment.

    Will you give me homework?

    Yes — although we like to call it homeplay.

    Your treatment plan and lifestyle adjustments are part of an ongoing, collaborative process to discover what works best for your body long term. We encourage curiosity and experimentation, helping you feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.

    Our goal is for changes to feel supportive and exciting — not restrictive or daunting.

    I’m curious but unsure — what if it’s not right for me?

    It’s completely natural to feel uncertain about starting something new, especially when it involves discussing personal health and making changes.

    Naturopathic medicine honours the body’s innate ability to heal and often takes a gentle, personalised approach. If you’re unsure, consider booking a discovery call to discuss your concerns in a safe and supportive environment.

    You’re also welcome to explore our online resources to learn more before making a decision.

    What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

    We require at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule an appointment. You may move your session within 90 days at no additional cost.

    Cancellations or reschedules within 48 hours incur the full session fee. All sessions and bundles are non-refundable.

    To reschedule, call +61 478 084 410 or email hello@bedrockclinic.com.au.

    Do you offer online and in-person sessions?

    Yes — sessions are available both online and in person, depending on availability.

    You can select your preferred format when booking.

    How do I access my prescriptions?
