Naturopath Brisbane Experts

All of our naturopaths have been hand-picked by Katherine to be part of the Shift at Brisbane Natural Health team, and share the same philosophy around health and wellness.

Naturopaths draw on medicines from nature to promote healing within the body. These natural medicines, including herbs, foods and nutritional supplements are aimed at helping your body heal itself – with a little help of course! Naturopathy works on healing the whole body, rather than treating issues in isolation.

What can a naturopath help with?

You can see a Brisbane naturopath for nearly any condition, including digestive issues, stress and mood disorders, reproductive issues, poor immunity, sleep problems and more.

Our particular specialties are PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid conditions, digestive issues, autoimmune disease, and chronic and complex conditions. Between our 5 Naturopaths, there is over 45 years of experience and there isn’t much they haven’t come across.

You don’t need to have a specific diagnosis to see a naturopath at Shift, they are treating you, not your disease. This is what makes naturopathy so effective, the individualisation to each person helps to target what is really going on.

We prescribe and dispense only the highest quality natural medicines available, so that we get great results, every time.

What happens when you see a Shift naturopath?

On your first visit, our naturopaths will take a journey through your full health history to look for the cause of your problems. By treating the cause you get deep and long-lasting results – leaving you feeling better for longer!

Your treatment plan will be made based on your individual needs – no two are the same! This means that the medicines you receive are targeted to your exact issue, allowing changes to be made much faster. Most patients report a significant change in at least some symptoms within the first 2 weeks of treatment.

Shift at Brisbane Natural Health’s naturopathic experts also use iridology (the study of the iris of the eye), tongue and nail analysis to get a better picture of your complete health. Blood and other testing are also useful – so, bring in copies if you have them. Katherine, Nicole, Iwa or Gemma may order further testing depending on your individual case – this can include functional pathology or conventional blood testing.

What will my naturopath prescribe me?

Every consultation will come complete with a personalised prescription for you. This will include dietary and lifestyle advice and naturopath prescribed herbal medicines/nutritional supplements. At our Milton clinic, our naturopaths only ever use the best quality practitioner strength natural medicines available to achieve great results every time.

What do I need to bring to the initial appointment?

Please bring any blood or other testing to you to your appointment (or better still scan and email to us beforehand) so your naturopath can use these in your assessment. You can obtain these by calling your doctors (or allied health practitioners) office and requesting copies.

Can I book an initial as a standalone appointment?

Yes! The initial consultation and diagnostic session will provide you with a great amount of value and insight on its own. Our clients report feeling more at ease and informed about their health when they leave.

Will natural treatment interfere with my medications?

Our naturopaths are all highly qualified and have training in pharmacology. We are hyper aware of any herb-drug or nutrient-drug interactions and will only prescribe you natural medicines which compliment your allopathic treatment, not hinder it.

How do I choose which practitioner to see?

We have 4 excellent naturopaths that are experienced in a wide range of conditions. When you call us on 07 3367 0337 we will ask you what you need help with specifically so we can match you with the naturopath who can help the most.

We also work collaboratively so you’ll get the insight of the minds of three naturopaths rather than one. Founding naturopath Katherine Maslen will have input on all complex cases as well.

Do you offer virtual/online appointments?

Yes! Our naturopaths see lots of patients virtually, in particular from regional and remote areas like Rockhampton, Gladstone, Roma and Mt Isa. We currently have patients in Bangladesh, New York, Cambodia and Vanuatu.

Virtual appointments are done via video chat (no accounts or software needed) or over the phone. Medicines can then be shipped to you.

Can my child see a naturopath?

Kids respond incredibly well to naturopathy. All of our naturopaths are trained in treating children with naturopathy, as well as mothers themselves so they know the unique challenges that kids are faced with.

We frequently see children and adolescents for health conditions like eczema, acne, asthma, digestive issues and stress and fatigue.

Do kids need a membership to see a Shift naturopath?

Children and adolescents are not required to have a membership to see any practitioner at Shift, including our naturopaths. This is because they often respond very quickly, don’t need as many appointments and care is often often are less intensive than the care of adults.

Our founder and principal naturopath Katherine Maslen was interviewed by student edge about what naturopathy is about. Watch the video to learn about her naturopathic journey including writing her first book.
