Naturopath lifestyle moment at Urban Sense Wellness Melbourne, promoting hydration, plant medicine, and mindful wellbeing.

If you’re looking for clarity, structure, and a practical way forward, our programs are designed to support you — step by step.

At Urban Sense Wellness, we understand that improving your health isn’t always a straight line. What makes the difference is having the right framework, clear guidance, and support that’s designed to work in real life.

Our programs offer structured pathways to support key areas of women’s health, including hormonal balance, metabolic function, weight regulation, and skin health. Each program is thoughtfully designed to provide direction without overwhelm — whether you’re ready for focused change or prefer to move at a steady, supported pace.

These are not generic protocols or one-size-fits-all plans. Every program is built from real clinical experience and shaped by what women actually need to make sustainable progress.

Optimal Fat Loss Program

Targeted support for metabolic reset and sustainable fat loss

If you’ve been eating well, staying active, and still finding that excess weight won’t shift — particularly through midlife — it may not be a willpower issue. It’s often a sign that metabolic signals are no longer working as efficiently as they once did.

The Optimal Fat Loss Program is designed for women and men with at least 5 kg of excess body fat to lose who have already made genuine efforts with healthy eating and lifestyle changes, without achieving lasting results.

This is a practitioner-designed, structured program that supports fat metabolism, appetite regulation, and energy production using a clear, real-food framework. It is intended as a focused reset — not a long-term diet or a generic weight-loss plan.

At the core of the program is a natural, non-hormonal homeopathic formulation used to support access to abnormal fat stores, particularly in areas that are commonly resistant to change such as the hips, thighs, waist, and abdominal region.

    • Optimal Fat Loss Drops
      A homeopathic formulation to support fat metabolism and appetite regulation

    • GIT Forte Gut Powder
      Supports digestion, gut integrity, and detoxification pathways

    • Metabolic Minerals
      Targeted nutritional support for energy production and metabolic balance

    • Downloadable Program Manual
      A step-by-step guide including dietary framework, recipes, and practical guidance

    • Optional Practitioner Support
      One-on-one review and progress tracking for accountability and refinement

  • This program is best suited to women and men experiencing:

    • Stubborn fat that hasn’t responded to healthy eating alone

    • Metabolic resistance or slowed fat loss

    • Midlife weight changes related to hormonal or metabolic shifts

    • Low energy, sluggish digestion, or fluid retention

    This program is designed for individuals seeking a structured, clinically informed approach to restoring metabolic responsiveness and achieving sustainable fat loss.

    If you’re unsure whether this program is the right fit, an Initial Naturopathic Consultation is the best place to start. This allows us to assess metabolic and hormonal factors and determine the most appropriate pathway for you.

  • Online Program (3 products): $171
    eBook Manual: $9.95
    Optional initial consult (incl. metascan): $270

Women’s Hormonal Health Assessment

A comprehensive consultation for perimenopause and menopause concerns

Hormonal shifts in your 40s and 50s can influence how your body functions in ways that aren’t always obvious or easily explained. This assessment consultation is designed to help you understand what’s changing — and why — so you can move forward with clarity rather than guesswork.

Our Women’s Hormonal Health Assessment is a detailed, one-to-one naturopathic consultation focused on the concerns that commonly arise during perimenopause and menopause. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this session looks at broader patterns influencing hormonal balance, metabolism, energy, sleep, mood, and long-term health.

    • In-depth review of hormonal and metabolic health

    • Assessment of symptoms in the context of your life stage

    • Functional or general pathology testing, where appropriate

    • Consideration of bone health and cardiovascular risk factors

    • Targeted strategies to support sleep, energy, mood, and weight regulation

    • Clear explanation of what may be driving change — and what to do next

This consultation begins with a Health and Wellness Consultation and provides a clear, individualised plan based on your symptoms, life stage, and health goals. It is not a generic protocol or a pre-set program — it is a thoughtful assessment designed to provide direction and confidence.

Naturopathic Skin Health Plan

Whole-body support for lasting skin health

For women experiencing persistent skin concerns — such as acne, sensitivity, inflammation, or premature ageing — topical treatments alone are rarely enough. Skin reflects what’s happening internally, and lasting improvement requires a broader understanding of the systems influencing skin function.

The Naturopathic Skin Health Plan takes a whole-body approach to skin health, assessing and addressing the internal and external factors that contribute to ongoing skin issues. Rather than treating the surface alone, this plan focuses on restoring skin integrity, resilience, and function from the inside out.

Led by Cheryl Penna, Naturopath and skin-corneotherapist, this review includes:

  • Evaluating hydration, integrity, sensitivity, and signs of barrier disruption

  • Including digestion, stress load, hormonal balance, inflammation, and nutrient status

  • Assessing suitability, barrier impact, and potential contributors to irritation or dysfunction

  • Selected to support barrier repair, skin resilience, and long-term skin function

  • To promote skin health from within and support repair processes

  • Such as Collagen Induction Therapy, where appropriate

All new clients must complete an Initial Naturopathic Skin Consultation prior to commencing any in-clinic treatment plan. This ensures skin concerns are assessed thoroughly and addressed in context, rather than in isolation
