Change can be immediate to two weeks. It does depend on your health issue and how long you have been experiencing the symptoms.

Our approach is to use whole food supplements, which can be regarded as part of the food budget. Other more specialised supplements and homeopathic remedies are relatively short term.

Yes. We have successfully worked with many mothers who are either wanting pre-conception care or want to work in with IVF.

We start with their digestion and immunity. This may involve removing some inflammatory foods. We also look at their behaviour and see if there is anything we can help change there.

There are many options here, all of which are preceded with a thorough assessment. Acute back pain can be easily addressed by using either Bowen Therapy or Acupuncture. Naturopathic remedies are also an option for long-term healing. Assessing for foot misalignment and fitting for orthotics to correct foot posture is another long-term option.

Yes. Digestion is the first area the Naturopath addresses for long-term self-healing. Indigestion, heartburn, abdominal pain, irritable bowel (diarrhoea alternating constipation), bloating are all common symptoms that can easily be eliminated.

We have successfully eliminated period pain using food changes, detoxification (longer-term) and homeopathic remedies. Acupuncture is also useful here.

Yes.  Access Consciousness, Acupuncture and Naturopathy can all help with emotional issues.  For you, this may present as stress, anxiety, worry, anger, frustration, grief or depression.  You could even combine any or all of these modalities to be back feeling like yourself sooner.

At My Wellness Centre, our aim is to make Acupuncture a painless treatment. Generally the needles are not felt when inserted. Some people feel a slight sensation likened to that of a mosquito bite or less. The needles are extremely small, only a little larger than a human hair – absolutely nothing like a vaccination or syringe needle.

Yes! Acupuncture is a safe treatment for both adults and children. Children frequently respond well to Acupuncture treatment – with youth on their side, a child’s body is more easily prompted to self-heal. Treatment is kept child-friendly and the needles may be replaced with massage or moxabustion if required.

Often improvements are seen immediately or within 24hrs. This will depend largely on the condition being treated and how long it’s been a problem for. Sometimes the improvement is astoundingly obvious, other times , improvements are subtle and gradual.

Again, this will depend largely on the condition being treated and how long it’s been a problem for. Treatment is generally recommended weekly for 4 weeks and then progress is reviewed and the treatment protocol is adjusted accordingly. The lucky few have a full recovery after just 1 or 2 treatments.

Insurance varies from fund to fund and will largely depend on your own cover. We have provider numbers for all major Private Health Funds and most smaller funds.
