I started my career as a registered nurse in 1970, specialising in Paediatrics. My passion for providing high quality health care led me to study naturopathy. After completing my bachelor degree, my focus and passion led me to concentrate on the GUT and BRAIN connection. My mission is to restore your gut microbiome to a more natural state to help maintain good health.
Our service is all about your health! We strive to provide quality health care and help you achieve your health goals. Our practitioners have a long history in the health care industry and have developed significant clinical expertise which is available to you to help with your health.

Our biome, the life within our personal ecosystem, is missing many of the organisms that were present in our ancestors, but which are still living today in many people in less developed countries.Our mission is to restore your biome to a more natural state to help maintain good health. Denise provides HDC, a higher organism (a helminth), which helps complete your intestinal ecosystem and provides diversity that bacterial probiotics alone cannot.
Naturopathy is medicine as nature intended. We use products made from plants (herbal medicine) and nutrients (nutritional medicine) to assist in the restoration and maintenance of optimal health. We also include dietary and lifestyle advice as both of these have an impact on your health. We practise evidence-based medicine.
The average adult carries around 2kg of bacteria in their gut whose role is to keep our bodies healthy both physically and mentally. If the bacteria is damaged, or not operating correctly, it can affect your entire body, including functions of the brain. GAPS is a condition, which corrects the connection between the functions of the digestive system and the brain.

It has been great seeing Karen Pyke. She is a very knowledgable and caring person who offers amazing support and advice. She is very attentive and explained everything in such great detail. Metabolic Balance fits in so perfectly to our lifestyle and Karen has helped make this happen. We honestly haven't felt this good in absolute years. Also with the parking availability underneath the Wellness Centre it makes visiting stress free !

After countless specialists and dead ends for my 9yo son, thank goodness we found Denise Hales. She was pretty much the only person interested in getting to the root cause of our health issues. The time she spent helping us, speaking to other experts, and researching info for us was phenomenal.

Denise is not only extremely knowledgable about all things health related & constantly learning, but she is friendly, approachable & kind. She is someone that I have found genuinely cares for me, my children & my husband. She has helped us to get healthy after illness, manage chronic conditions & with everyday health maintenance. I could not recommend her more highly for children & adults alike, she is willing to always go above & beyond in caring for us.

Finally I found a Naturopath that was caring and so, so knowledable in all areas. After seeing doctors and finding ‘nothing wrong’...Denise traced my illness back to my gut health and I’ve never felt this well in years. It took several months and some intense testing but I would have to say...she is The Gut Guru.

I was really disappointed as I was recommended this place by a friend. I had my initial consultation with Denise Hales. She was very unprofessional, she was 10 minutes late to the appointment and rushed me directly looking past any of my needs. I might try this place again through another practioner as I had a terrible experience with Denise

Since 2008 I have received the most amazing naturopathy care from Denise Hales. Her naturopathic knowledge and care, went above and beyond, in times of a serious and potentially life threatening condition.

I have the utmost respect for Denise’s knowledge. Denise’s thirst for knowledge has her attending international and national ongoing professional development in her field of expertise. She is a leader in her field

When I met Denise Hales ND, I was awed by her tremendous knowledge and depth of caring. I would recommend anyone who is dealing with health challenges or seeking health improvement to go to Kangaroo Point Naturopaths in Brisbane.
