Q1: What is naturopathy and how does it work?

A: Naturopathy is a gentle, holistic way of supporting your body’s natural wisdom and ability to heal. It blends time-honoured traditions with modern science to help uncover the root causes of your symptoms — so you can feel seen, heard, and truly supported on your wellness journey.

Q2: Can I see a naturopath as my primary healthcare provider?

A: Naturopaths are here to complement your healthcare team — we don’t diagnose or cure medical conditions, nor do we replace your primary doctor. Many people come to naturopathy after trying other options, while others choose it from the start as part of their path to wellness. Wherever you’re at, we work alongside you and your healthcare providers to guide and nurture your healing.

Q3: How do online consultations at Paradosia Wellness work?

A: Our sessions happen via secure video call, so you can connect from the comfort of your home. Before we meet, you’ll fill out a detailed health questionnaire to help me understand your story and needs. Together, we’ll explore your health history and design a personalised plan that honours your unique body and life.

Q4: How can I prepare for my consultation?

A: Bringing along any recent pathology tests or medical reports can be really helpful — they give a fuller picture of your health. Also, take a moment to think about your goals and any questions you’d love to discuss. Find a quiet, comfortable and private spot where you can relax and be yourself during our time together.

Q5: Do you treat specific health conditions?

A: While I don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions, I support the body’s natural healing processes through a whole-person approach. Many clients come to me with concerns like digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, stress, skin issues, and more. Together, we work to restore balance gently and sustainably — by addressing the underlying patterns rather than just the symptoms.

Q6: What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

A: We understand that schedules change. Please note our cancellation terms:

• Cancellations or reschedules with 24+ hours' notice: Eligible for a full refund or reschedule.

• Cancellations or no-shows with less than 24 hours' notice: Not eligible for a refund.

• Missed appointments or failure to attend without notice will forfeit the session fee.

Q7: How long are consultations?

A: Appointment lengths vary depending on the type of consultation. For full details on session types and what each one includes, please visit the Services page.

Q8: Is Paradosia Wellness right for me?

A: If you’re seeking gentle, evidence-informed care that respects your body’s wisdom and your unique journey, you’re in the right place.

Q9: Can I claim naturopathic consultations through private health insurance?

A: Many private health funds are welcoming naturopathy back to their rebate lists, but coverage varies. It’s best to check with your insurer before booking, so you know what to expect.

Q10: What does ‘evidence meets tradition’ mean for my care?

A: It means your healing plan draws from the rich wisdom of ancestral practices while being grounded in modern science. This balance ensures your care is both respectful and effective — nurturing your whole self.

Q11: What if I need urgent medical help?

A: If you’re facing an emergency or urgent health issue, please contact emergency services or your primary healthcare provider immediately. Naturopathy supports your long-term wellbeing and isn’t a substitute for urgent care.
