What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
You're experiencing ongoing health concerns and feel frustrated that your symptoms are being addressed in isolation rather than as part of your overall health picture. You're looking for a more comprehensive approach to your wellbeing.
When healthcare focuses only on managing individual symptoms without investigating underlying causes, you may find yourself in a cycle of temporary relief without lasting improvement. This can be particularly challenging when you're juggling work, family responsibilities, and trying to maintain your quality of life.
Naturopathic medicine takes a whole-person approach to health. During
consultations at Nerthus Health, we assess your complete health history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and individual circumstances. You'll receive a personalised treatment plan that may include nutritional guidance, herbal medicine (where appropriate), and evidence-based lifestyle recommendations. All recommendations are tailored to your specific situation and health goals. Please note that individual outcomes vary and any treatment approach should be discussed with your healthcare providers.
You've consulted with various healthcare providers and while receiving care, you're seeking a more individualised approach that considers your unique circumstances and health goals.
Standard treatment protocols don't always account for individual variations in health status, lifestyle constraints, and personal preferences. When recommendations don't fit your real-world circumstances, it becomes difficult to implement and maintain beneficial health changes.
Nerthus Health provides individualised naturopathic care with extended consultation times to understand your specific health needs. Eleni is a registered naturopath with professional qualifications who takes time to discuss your health concerns comprehensively. As a parent herself, she understands the practical challenges of implementing health changes while managing family responsibilities. Treatment recommendations are developed collaboratively with consideration of your circumstances, preferences, and budget.
You're considering making an appointment but feel uncertain about what to expect and whether you'll feel comfortable discussing your health concerns.
Starting with a new healthcare provider can feel daunting, particularly when you're unsure about the consultation process, time commitment, or what information you'll need to provide.
Your initial consultation at Nerthus Health is a comprehensive health assessment conducted in a professional, supportive environment. The appointment typically involves discussing your health history, current concerns, lifestyle factors, and health goals. You'll receive a detailed explanation of findings in clear language, and any treatment recommendations will be explained thoroughly, including potential benefits and considerations. Prescribed herbal remedies or nutritional supplements (if recommended) can be arranged for delivery to your home for convenience. You're encouraged to ask questions throughout the consultation.
You're living with an ongoing health condition and while managing it, you're interested in exploring complementary approaches that may support your overall well-being.
Chronic health conditions can significantly impact daily life, affecting your energy levels, ability to participate in activities, work capacity, and overall quality of life. Managing ongoing symptoms can be both physically and emotionally challenging.
Nerthus Health works with clients experiencing various chronic health concerns, with a focus on holistic wellbeing. Eleni has a professional interest in autoimmune conditions and paediatric health. Treatment approaches are evidence-based and may include nutritional support, herbal medicine (where appropriate), and lifestyle guidance. It's important to note that naturopathy works alongside, not in replacement of, conventional medical care. We encourage collaborative care with your existing healthcare team. Individual responses to treatment vary and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
You're interested in naturopathic care but concerned about potential interactions with your current medications or treatment protocols.
Managing multiple aspects of healthcare can be complex, particularly when working with different practitioners. You want to ensure any complementary care is safe and appropriate alongside your existing treatments.
Nerthus Health takes a collaborative approach to healthcare. You will never be advised to cease prescribed medications - any changes to pharmaceutical medications must be discussed with and approved by your prescribing doctor. During consultations, we review your current medications and treatments to identify any potential considerations. Where relevant, communication can be facilitated with your GP and other healthcare providers. Naturopathic treatment is designed to work alongside conventional medical care as part of an integrated approach to your health.
You're considering naturopathic care but need to understand the costs involved to make an informed decision that fits within your budget.
Healthcare expenses can add up quickly, and without clear pricing information upfront, it's difficult to plan financially or decide whether a service is accessible for your family.
Nerthus Health provides transparent pricing for consultations. Many private health insurance funds will provide rebates for naturopathic services shortly - you're encouraged to check your specific coverage with your health fund. Treatment recommendations are discussed collaboratively with consideration of your budget and priorities. There is no obligation to follow recommendations that don't align with your financial situation. Any herbal medicines or supplements recommended are explained clearly regarding their purpose and cost, and are only prescribed when considered appropriate for your individual needs.
Your child is experiencing recurrent or ongoing health concerns, and you're seeking a comprehensive approach to support their wellbeing and development.
Watching your child experience health challenges can be distressing for parents. You want to ensure any care they receive is safe, age-appropriate, and considers their developmental needs while working alongside their paediatrician or GP.
Nerthus Health has a special interest in paediatric holistic care. Eleni is a mother of three and understands the concerns parents experience regarding their children's health. Paediatric naturopathic care uses gentle, age-appropriate approaches and always prioritises the child's safety and wellbeing. Treatment plans consider the child's age, developmental stage, and family circumstances. We work collaboratively with your child's existing healthcare providers. Parents are fully involved in all decision-making regarding their child's care.
You're uncertain whether testing is necessary for your situation and want to understand any costs involved before proceeding.
Concerns about unexpected healthcare expenses, particularly for tests that may not be essential, can create financial stress and affect your ability to access care.
Testing recommendations at Nerthus Health are only made when considered clinically relevant to your specific situation. Any suggested pathology testing or functional assessments are discussed during your consultation with clear explanation of what the test examines, how it may inform your care, and associated costs. You maintain complete control over decisions about testing - there is no obligation to proceed with any recommendations. Some conditions can be assessed and managed effectively through clinical evaluation and symptom monitoring without additional testing. Where GP pathology referrals are appropriate, these are discussed and provided.
You're considering naturopathic care but want to have realistic expectations about timeframes and outcomes before committing.
Previous experiences with treatments that didn't deliver expected results can lead to scepticism about new approaches. You need honest information about likely timeframes to make an informed decision.
Response times vary significantly between individuals based on factors including the nature of the health concern, how long it has been present, overall health status, and adherence to recommendations. During your consultation, we discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation rather than making generalised promises. Some clients report changes in certain aspects of their wellbeing within weeks, while other health concerns may require longer-term support. Follow-up consultations allow for monitoring progress and adjusting recommendations as needed. It's important to understand that individual outcomes vary and results cannot be guaranteed.
You've decided to explore naturopathic care but need clear information about how to make an appointment and whether the location and timing work for your schedule.
Uncertainty about booking procedures, appointment availability, or clinic location can create barriers to accessing care, particularly when you're already dealing with health concerns and time pressures.
Nerthus Health is located at 44 Victoria Parade, Kilmore, VIC 3764, servicing the Mitchell Shire area including Kilmore, Wallan and surrounding communities. To book a consultation, visit www.nerthushealth.com.au or contact the clinic directly using the contact information provided on the website. Appointment scheduling aims to accommodate various time commitments where possible.
You're interested in naturopathic care but face challenges attending in-person appointments due to distance, mobility concerns, work commitments, childcare responsibilities, or health issues that make travel difficult.
Living in regional or rural areas, managing unpredictable work schedules, or dealing with health conditions that limit mobility can create significant barriers to accessing consistent healthcare. Travel time, parking, and coordinating care around other commitments adds stress to an already challenging situation.
Nerthus Health offers telehealth consultations as an alternative to in-person appointments, providing access to naturopathic care from the comfort of your own home. Telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video consultation platform and follow the same comprehensive assessment process as in-person visits. You'll receive the same thorough health review, personalised treatment plan, and detailed recommendations. Any prescribed herbal medicines or supplements can be delivered directly to your address. Telehealth consultations are particularly suitable for follow-up appointments, ongoing health management, and for clients who live outside the Mitchell Shire area. Please note that some initial consultations or specific health assessments may benefit from in-person attendance, which will be discussed when booking. Telehealth services are subject to the same professional standards and registration requirements as in-person care.
You're interested in naturopathic care but want to know upfront whether it's appropriate for your specific health concern and what happens if you don't experience improvement.
Investing time and money into an approach that may not be suitable for your particular situation, or continuing care that isn't providing benefit, is neither practical nor desirable.
Nerthus Health takes an evidence-informed approach to naturopathic care. During your initial consultation, we provide honest assessment of whether naturopathy may be appropriate for your specific health concerns. Not all conditions are suitable for naturopathic management alone, and where conventional medical intervention is more appropriate, you will be advised accordingly. Treatment plans include review periods to assess progress. If initial recommendations aren't providing expected support, modifications are discussed.
You've left healthcare appointments in the past feeling confused about what was discussed, what you're supposed to do next, or why certain recommendations were made. Without clear documentation, it's difficult to remember details or implement changes effectively.
When treatment recommendations are verbal only or poorly documented, you're left trying to recall specifics days later when you're ready to take action. This uncertainty can lead to incomplete implementation, missed steps, or abandoning the plan altogether because you're unsure what to prioritize or how different recommendations connect to your health goals.
At Nerthus Health, you receive a detailed written treatment plan following your consultation. This document outlines the assessment findings in clear language, explains the rationale behind recommendations, and provides a step-by-step guide for reaching your agreed-upon health goals. You'll have a reference document to review at your own pace, share with family members if desired, and refer back to as you implement changes. This ensures you have clarity and confidence about your healthcare journey.
No, naturopathy is not currently covered by Medicare in Australia. While Medicare supports conventional medical services, it does not provide rebates for naturopathic consultations or treatments
Many Australians seeking holistic, preventative care through naturopathy are surprised to learn that Medicare does not cover naturopathic services. This can create financial barriers for families who value natural approaches to health but rely on government support for healthcare costs.
You’re investing in your health—choosing a path that’s proactive, gentle, and deeply personalised. But when you discover that Medicare won’t support your naturopathic care, it can feel frustrating and unfair. Especially for parents and individuals managing chronic conditions, the lack of coverage may mean delaying or forgoing treatment that could make a real difference.
While Medicare doesn’t currently offer rebates for naturopathy, there are still ways to make care more accessible. Private health funds will soon offer coverage for natural therapies, depending on your policy. Additionally, many naturopaths—including our clinic—offer flexible payment options, community programs, and free online educational resources to support your wellness journey. We believe everyone deserves compassionate, holistic care—regardless of what Medicare covers.
If you're unsure about your options, reach out. We're here to help you navigate the system and find the support you need.
Naturopaths support individuals seeking a proactive, whole-person approach to health and wellbeing.
Many people feel overwhelmed by recurring health concerns, stress, or lifestyle challenges. They may be looking for ways to better understand their body, improve their daily habits, or explore complementary options alongside conventional care.
It’s common to feel unheard or rushed in busy healthcare settings. You might sense that something’s not quite right—whether it’s low energy, digestive discomfort, sleep issues, or emotional stress—but struggle to find answers that feel personalised or sustainable.
