Naturopath Consultations

Personalised health care for women who want clarity, not guesswork

Nutritional health advice from Urban Sense Wellness naturopath in Melbourne, featuring whole food plans for perimenopause support.

At Urban Sense Wellness, naturopathic consultations form the foundation of all care.

This is where your health is assessed thoroughly, your questions are answered clearly, and your story is given the time and attention it deserves.

When your health no longer feels predictable — energy fluctuates, symptoms shift, or your body isn’t responding the way it once did a naturopathic consultation provides a clear, structured starting point.

Each consultation is personalised, with a focus on understanding what’s driving change in your body and creating a clear, practical plan forward. The goal is sustainable progress — not short-term fixes or generic recommendations.

Functional and Pathology Testing

Used with intention, never in isolation

Testing can be a valuable tool  when it’s used thoughtfully and interpreted in context.

At Urban Sense Wellness, functional and pathology testing is never ordered unnecessarily and is only offered as part of a naturopathic consultation. This ensures results are understood correctly, explained clearly, and used to guide meaningful care rather than create confusion or pressure.

Types of Testing We May Use

Depending on your presentation and goals, testing may include:

    • Hormone panels for perimenopause and post-menopause

    • Full Thyroid and complete iron studies

    • Omega-3 lipid profile

    • Blood glucose and insulin resistance 

    • Parathyroid and Bone Markers (Mg, D3, phosphate, calcium)

    • Microba functional gut testing

    • SIBO breath testing

    • 3X4 Personalised Gene Testing

    • Fitgenes nutrigenomic profiles

    • Bodystat- cellular health and body composition analysis

    • Oligoscan mineral and heavy metal screening

All testing is discussed during your consultation, including relevance, benefits, and cost. Testing is always optional, and decisions are made collaboratively — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence, without pressure.

Ongoing Care and Follow-Up

Health improvement is a process, not a single appointment.

For most clients, follow-up consultations every 3 to 6 weeks are recommended during the initial phase of care. These sessions allow us to:

  • Review progress and emerging patterns

  • Discuss and interpret any test results

  • Refine and adjust your plan as your body responds

  • Provide guidance to support consistent implementation

Clients who commit to regular follow-up during the first 3 to 6 months tend to achieve clearer progress and more sustainable, long-term outcomes. This continuity allows care to evolve thoughtfully rather than reactively.

  • Are navigating hormonal transitions alongside metabolic, digestive, or skin-related shifts
