Sowelu Wellness / Body Institute

I had a recommendation to see Emily. And boy am I glad I did! She is fab! Totally personable, relatable, and intelligent. She takes the care to listen attentively, and provide support. The knowledge I have gained from her is invaluable, I get excited for my appointments! We’ve made so much progress in the terms of inflammation, my auto immune condition, hormone imbalances, gut issues, liver and skin through a holistic framework. Thank you Emily

Marcelle is a fantastic wholistic practitioner. She is very caring and professional. I feel as though my health outcomes are really improving under her care! I would definitely recommend her to others seeking out a great quality naturopathic healthcare experience.

Thanks so much Emily for explaining my results in a way that I could easily understand! Ive had Thyroid issues for 30+ years and I found the way that you described everything was so simple and the treatment plan moving forwards makes a lot of sense and Im looking forward to seeing the changes in 3 months time! Thanks again!

Marcelle is a brilliant naturopath! Her thoroughness, knowledge and kind nature create a space of calm where you know you are in good hands. After struggling for years with bad dermatitis on my face, and countless other treatment attempts, I came in to see Marcelle. A few months in, my skin has improved significantly, the inflammation has reduced and the redness has faded. If you are in need of great care, I would highly recommend Marcelle!

Kylie went into my health issues in detail, teasing out the potential contributors and putting me back on track to enjoying good health. Her knowledge is broad, and there is plenty of time allowed for discussion. Kylie gives practical strategies you can achieve without overloading the supplements, and she is a great motivator!

Friendly, lots of great information. Love the emailed notes after each session so I don't forget the guidance.

Karina's facials are amazing, both the setting, the quality of the products and her technique make for an incredibly relaxing experience. Thanks Karina!

Emily listened to my concerns, ordered relevant testing and made a personalized plan for me based on those results. She was precise, specific and considerate of my current lifestyle and goals. Her approach was a refreshing change after being given blanket and generalized answers for questions I had posed to my past GPs.

So glad I found the body institute team. Had bounced between doctors and other alternatives medicines with no luck. Now I finally feel like I’m on the right track. The mix between scientific tests with naturopathy is great

Kylie gave sound advice and guidance, and suggested some great changes to my lifetstyle and eating which has guided me in the right direction. Thank you!

Karina is absolutely wonderful at what she does. She made the process of changing some of my lifestyle habits so easy by not making me get rid of all the “bad” ones first but introducing better habits and then slowly removing/reducing the not so good. I have endometriosis and since I’ve started seeing Karina I’m in a lot less pain and I’m a lot more regular. Truly life changing. She’s also just an all round lovely person which is an added bonus!

I’ve been seeing Karina for about 6 months now, she is very thorough. I love my visits with her, my health is improving rapidly. Highly recommended!

I decided to make an appointment with Karina after she was highly recommended to me by two of my friends. When I first went to Karina I was experiencing problems with low energy levels, stress, reproductive concerns and gut issues. Karina and I worked closely together over the year and I was feeling better than ever after a series of check-ins and treatments. If I ever ran out of a prescribed supplement, instead of booking a whole new appointment, Karina allowed me to email her and would post the product out to me the next day. This was SO helpful as a full-time Uni student.

After recently going on a working holiday to Fiji I returned feeling not so great and booked a DR appointment for blood tests and stool sample which of course, did not detect any 'abnormalities'.
Frustrated as I was still feeling very sick, I contacted Karina straight away. She booked me in for an appointment that week and was so helpful in finding the cause of the problems I was experiencing.

If you are looking for someone who listens to your health concerns and provides advice that is tailored to your lifestyle, practical and realistic, I couldn't recommend Karina enough.

I have been seeing Emily at Body Institute after being diagnosed with type two diabetes right before Christmas. I have never seen a naturopath before so I didn't know what to expect but I have been blown away. Emily is outstanding! She is professional, kind, hard working, makes health terms easy to understand and her willingness to work with the other health professionals in my life has been truly amazing. I can't wait to see what we achieve on this health journey together ️

Clinical Nutritionist, Kylie Anderson, helped me navigate the tricky terrain of perimenopause, providing excellent nutritional advice and supplements that lead to greater energy and understanding of my changing nutritional needs. Thanks Kylie!

My first visit with Karina was about 5 years ago and I have remained healthy since then. But things change and so felt The Body Institute was the best place to go again to get my health back. Karina listens intently and spends time explaining and planning the way forward. Under her guidance I'm sure that once again she will get me back to my vibrant, healthy, happy life.

So glad we’ve decided to consult with Karina. We can see her passion and genuine intent to help her clients. What I like about her is that she only recommends what is necessary. With her help, I am sure that my son’s eczema condition will get better.

Karina has been wonderful helping me work through my digestion and skin concerns over the past few moths. She is a warm, kind and gentle soul who instantly make you feel at ease. There is no judgement or disapproval in discussions with her and I always leave feeling relaxed, revived and inspired to make positive changes. The rooms are beautiful, clean and relaxing. I would highly recommend seeing Karina as a naturopath or for amazing facial treatments!

Karina is an incredible naturopath, extremely easy to communicate with and her knowledge is amazing. My husband and I have both had huge success and the best part is the flexibility of online/phone consults (saves us a 6hr trip!). I will always recommend her to anyone as she has absolutely changed our life!

Have been twice and it has been very thorough so far. Nice and welcoming environment. I’m taking herbs and supplements and have also been given a meal plan to follow. Only time will tell in terms of results.
