Joanne Kennedy Sydney Naturopath MTHFR & Methylation

I've had a wonderful experience seeing Joanne. I came to her with frequent gut issues and migraines. My symptoms have been reduced over only three months. I rarely get migraines and my gut issues have improved dramatically. I'm very thankful for Joanne's knowledge and insight that she has provided and the impact that it has made on my day-to-day life.

I can't recommend Joanne highly enough, her knowledge and expertise are second to none.

My health/quality of life has improved 110% since beginning treatment, I am so grateful to have found a practitioner who truely listens! Within 2 appointments Joanne had diagnosed & prescribed effective treatment for an illness I had spent 2 years just trying to get Drs to acknowledge.

I was honestly grateful for any improvement, but Joanne's ongoing commitment to my wellbeing showed me it IS possible to thrive - not just survive!

I've been really unwell for over a year now from previously living in mould. After watching Joanne and Melanie do a talk on Youtube about it I decided to make an appointment. Melanie knew exactly what tests to order, supplements to take and was really understanding of my sensitivies and histamine intolerance. I found the print-outs she sent with instructions and mould information very helpful too. Melanie has been through it herself so really understands the struggles of it all. After going to so many different Drs and getting no help, I'm honestly so glad I found her! She is a gem. I finally have some answers and now feel like I'm on the right path to heal.

I saw Joanne earlier this year for treating my SIBO and rosacea.
Joanne recommended gut testing, a diet protocol and supplements - which were very costly (9 supplements!) but insisted they were all necessary for my treatment. I decided to go ahead and stuck with the treatment protocol which unfortunately I didn't see any improvements from. When I had my follow-up with Joanne she did not suggest any alternative approaches we could try and recommended I go and see a facialist to treat my rosacea and disregarded my gut issues. Considering skin and gut issues are one of Joanne's specialities I am surprised by the lack of insight into the root causes of my issues and lack of willingness to investigate any further. Save your money and go elsewhere!

My experience with Joanne has been brilliant from the beginning, I came to her with histamine related issues and she has a great depth of knowledge in this area, from knowing what to test for to how to treat the problem, I trusted her expertise and it’s paid off, 6 years of migraines came to an end. She also has great content on her Instagram and also appears in several podcasts for those looking for extra information, highly recommend.

I first visited Joanne back in October 2022 after dealing with a plethora of health issues for about 8 months. Holistically, I have been dealing with mould, Candida, general dysbiosis, mineral imbalances and chronic stress. I was placed in Melanie's care after my first consult as Mel has battled mould herself and is a specialist in the area. I can confidently say that my mould related symptoms have been alleviated and whilst I am still dealing with the gut issues and subsequent effects on my body, I have the utmost faith that these will be alleviated too.
Throughout the process, Melanie has been extremely thoughtful and supportive. Mel's understanding of the human body and it's functions is second to none. From out of scope documentation, to expanding my knowledge of the various protocols we have utilised, I have always been put at ease by what Mel knows.
A lot of practitioners have an ego about them and do not like when patients do their own research. Certainly I've met many that cannot conceptualise learning something from the patient that they are treating. However, Mel has been extremely accommodating of my own research and experimentation, something that is very important to me.
You would be hard pressed to find better practitioners than the team here at Joanne Kennedy Naturopath.
I will be sure to update this review at the conclusion of my treatment.

Overall, I felt like I spent a fair bit of money for limited insights in regards to the root cause of my (gut) issues. Rather got a lot of supplement recommendations. Also was not very happy with the overall communication.

If you are in any doubt whether you should see a naturopath, then the team at Joanne Kennedy will instantly put you at ease. My quality of life has greatly improved with their personalised guidance and support - I am very grateful to be a patient of Melanies!

It is with much gratitude that I thank both Joanne Kennedy & Nicole Costello for assisting my management of SIBO for the last 9 months. It's been a long journey and I have now reached a point of maintenance due to their guidance.

Thank you Joanne for being the first health practitioner to treat the cause rather than just the individual symptoms, and commencing the much needed treatment I needed. Thank you for your patience, kindness and attention to fine detail.

Thank you Nicole (Clinical Nutritionist) for taking the reins in January and being such a present & collaborative practitioner. You are such a gem.

I'll definitely have no hesitation in booking back in should any health needs arise.

Joanne has completely turned around my health. When I went to her I had almost lost hope of getting better. Thanks to her treatment protocol I have fixed hormonal and gut health issues, and I have also recovered from histamine intolerance. I'm now eating foods again that I thought I'd never be able to. I can't recommend her enough!

RESULT! After years of bloating, cramps and all the nasties associated with a ticky tummy, all it took to diagnose and fix was a visit to Joanne. SIBO appears to be an elephant in the room of the medical profession. After testing, Joanne put me on a SIBO friendly diet and various supplements. Bingo! 4 months later I'm bloat free, so healthy and have a completely different outlook on life. Oh, and an added bonus, I'm 16 kgs lighter. I equipped with knowledge to spot the signs of SIBO and deal with them quickly. If you feel like I did, go and see her.

Joanne has been fantastic to work with in helping me re-balance my hormones post-baby. She is highly knowledgeable about her field and provides clear and practical recommendations to address issues. I'd highly recommend her services.
