Thank you for your support over the past year - 2020 has certainly been a different and I think we all hope that 2021 will be a little calmer. I'm utterly thrilled to announce that the first trial associated with my Master's Degree has just been accepted into a Q1 journal (top 25% of international journals) for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Not only is this absolutely huge for me (obviously!), but it helps to strengthen the evidence for complementary and alternative medicine. For those of you who are curious, my topic was the use of probiotics for osteoarthritic pain using an N-of-1 trial design. A graduate of Health Schools Australia in 2007, Isabelle gained Advanced Diplomas in Functional Nutrition, Naturopathy and Western Herbalism as well as a Cert IV in Aromatherapy.

Quite simply - Yes! Different things work for different people so make sure you do your homework first regarding what you think will work best for you. Unfortunately, the Australian Government has not put supplements on the PBS, and you cannot claim supplements back from Private Health Funds (at least that I am aware of, please let me know if I am wrong).
You can rest assured that each consultation will aim to address your needs in a confidential and professional manner. If at any time you do not feel comfortable or are unsure about what your practitioner suggests, please don't hesitate to voice your concerns. Likewise, we do understand that CAM may be cost prohibitive, please speak to your practitioner if you have any concerns.
Well, there are so many different aspects to natural medicine. It is also known as Complementary or Alternative Medicine because that's what it is. Quite simply, it is the use of naturally found substances used either alone, in combinations or in complement with orthodox medical treatments to encourage and speed natural healing.
First of all, may I dispel a common and extremely misguided myth that anyone dealing in traditional medicines is a "Quack". This is not true. There are hundreds of thousands of qualified scientists and researchers. These people are highly educated and have spent much money and time investing in this field.
Skype consultations are now available to existing patients for follow up and check in consultations. Please contact Isabelle to arrange a time. Fees will be discussed during the treatment and an invoice will be emailed. Invoices must be paid within 24 hours. Please give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations, otherwise a 50% fee will still occur.
