FAQ

  • Naturopathy is a complementary health system, intended to work in tandem with conventional medicine to support overall wellness. Naturopathy has ancient roots, and utilises a blend of traditional wisdom and modern science.

    Naturopathy consults tend to be long, as we piece together the puzzle of your health picture. We look at individualised care, as no two people are the same. Even if you have the same condition as the person next to you, there may be different contributing factors and experiences, hence the treatment should be different!

    There are many different modalities that naturopaths across Australia use - here at Quiet Corner, we utilise herbal medicine and nutritional supplementation alongside dietary and lifestyle advice.

  • Naturopathy is for anyone and everyone. Our naturopath, Allie, has experience working with both acute and chronic health conditions. Some reasons you may choose to see a naturopath include:

    • Digestive health (irregular bowel motions, bloating, abdominal pain, reflux, IBS, IBD, liver support)

    • Immune system support (frequent colds/flu, allergies, hayfever, post-viral syndrome, autoimmunity)

    • Hormonal support (thyroid conditions, diabetes, sex-hormone concerns such as PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, PMDD, fertility support, menopause, andropause)

    • Nervous system support (anxiety, depression, stress management, OCD, insomnia, fibromyalgia)

    • General wellbeing (improving energy, optimising nutrition status, healthy aging, building healthy habits, healing relationship with food)

  • As of April 2025, the Australian Government has endorsed the reinstatement of private health insurance rebates for naturopathy, following recommendations from the Natural Therapies Review Expert Advisory Panel.

    This means that, depending on your health fund and policy, you may soon be eligible to claim rebates for naturopathic services.

    It's important to note that this change is subject to individual health insurers' decisions, and not all may offer these rebates immediately. We recommend contacting your insurer to register your interest in naturopathy.

  • Yes. Naturopathy is generally safe when guided by a qualified practitioner. At Quiet Corner Naturopathy, we ensure our treatments complement your existing medical care.

  • Your first consultation includes a detailed discussion about your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Based on this, a personalised treatment plan will be created for you.

  • No referral is needed. You can book directly with Quiet Corner Naturopathy in Kensington or via telehealth for personalised, natural health care support.

  • Naturopaths assess your symptoms holistically and create personalised plans using diet, herbs, and lifestyle changes to help balance digestion, reduce stress, and support hormonal health.

  • A naturopath uses natural therapies to support the body’s ability to heal itself. This may include herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle advice, and functional testing to address underlying causes of health issues.
