No, unfortunately Naturopathic medicine is no longer claimable with private health insurance in Australia. We are
hoping this will change in the future.
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in all things natural. From the “green” initiatives to reduce ozone depletion, to increased awareness of the harmful effects of certain synthetic materials, to an overall desire to unplug and return to one’s more “natural” roots—nature is a hot commodity today perhaps more than ever before. Not surprisingly, this interest has expanded into the realm of medicine. People are becoming sceptical of and disillusioned with conventional medicine, and are looking for new ways of healing that seem, for lack of a better descriptor, more natural.
Given that you are reading this, you probably have an interest in what we might call natural medicine. But natural medicine is a non-scientific term, and has no distinct definition. So how do we know that we’re talking about the same thing when we say natural medicine? What do you suppose natural medicine is, anyway?

Many individuals and groups have tried to define the mission and ideology of the naturopath at large. But the truth is that each naturopath—like each conventional physician—has a unique outlook and personal preferences. So while there are some generalizations that would be true of many naturopaths most of the time, there are fewer unanimous agreements.
That said, I do happen to agree with this list of principles that has been passed around throughout the naturopathic community, none of which would likely raise much contest among naturopaths generally. Many of these principles would also appeal to conventional physicians, but others go largely ignored by mainstream medicine.
This depends on the specific treatment that you require. BalanSoul offers value for money, rather than being ‘cheap’. It may be appealing to trust your health to someone who isn’t as qualified, but please keep in mind that, more often than not, you get what you pay for. Your health is precious; please choose a practitioner who is a member of a reputable association. It’s important to note that I always ask my clients what budget they wish to work with, which gives me an idea of what types of brands I’m able to prescribe.

Absolutely. I’m a member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA), and the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP).
Distance treatments are the same, or better. I am finding that these days people are so busy that they can’t even make time to visit a naturopath due to their hectic schedules. Distance treatments allow people to access expert naturopathic care from the comfort of their own home at a time that suits them, just by picking up the phone. I then organise for the remedies to be delivered to their door. It’s completely free of hassle.
Another great benefit is that once we’ve done the consultation, unlike a face-to-face consultation, I can think about your case in-depth and make your treatment more specific by doing further research.
