Fertile Ground Health Group

I came here at 39 weeks + 2 pregnant for a labour-inducing acupuncture session. Never had acupuncture before but was just trying different things to go into labour spontaneously to avoid getting induced at 41 weeks. The practitioner was very confident and in actual fact, I went into labour the very next day hahaha. It's hard to say if this worked because I was already having contractions for about a week (probably in latent Labour) but I will say it was very relaxing. I walked out feeling less anxious and stressed about the possibility of getting induced and that's a win! So I recommend it in any case.

Bonnie the osteopath is brilliant, the symptoms I was experiencing with my body and the aches and pains were all indentified to what cause and factor and it was a light bulb moment like aha! Finially someone gets me that was a relief in itself aswell as the treatment she did for me was just great, on the road to recovery and can't wait for my next session. Highly recommended! The clinic is a beautiful setting offering herbal teas in the waiting room with nice indoor plants around you could feel more at ease just sitting in the waiting area. Thank you for your amazing work you do for the Birth of human kind, truely remarkable.

I have experienced many bodywork, counselling and other consultations over time, and can personally recommend the practitioners at Fertile Ground for outstanding care. The clinic is absolutely gorgeous, a relaxing environment, super friendly and helpful reception staff. One of Melbournes finest health care clinics!

I had acupuncture, naturopathy, massage and osteopathy throughout my pregnancy and it was amazing. I felt so strong and healthy and delivered a healthy baby boy. I've had amazing postpartum care too.
The reception team are amazing, I always feel so welcomed and instantly relaxed when I walk into the Melbourne Apothecary.

Fertile Ground has supported me through pre-conception, pregnancy, my child’s birth and beyond. I’m incredibly grateful for the excellent care and support I’ve received from so many practitioners at Fertile Ground. I highly recommend this business.

Friendly, caring, professional practitioners who took the time to help me maximise our family's health and wellbeing and recommended products that made a noticeable difference. They're backed by helpful reception staff that picked up on a misplaced order and who continued to follow up with me to get it sorted - as I know I'm hard to catch on my phone!

I’ve only had pregnancy massages here and Reina & Ashley are two amazing masseurs who looked after me beautifully! I feel very pampered and relaxed after each massage and I can’t wait to try out some of their other services!

I have seen a wide range of practitioners at Fertile Ground and always feel so supported every time I come in. The clinic feels warm and inviting and the reception staff are always so friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend booking in for a physical treatment or with one of their incredible naturopaths!

I could not recommend Nicole highly enough! She is thorough, knowledge, kind and approachable! I always leave feeling renewed and deeply cared for:)

I would highly recommend Ashley if you love a deep massage. She was lovely and has made me feel so much better. Thanks Ashley! A great asset to the amazing FGHG team. Keep up the good work. I’ll be back for sure ️

I have nothing but praise for Sage of Fertile Ground. I’ve been seeing her for about 4 months, and my quality of life has improved dramatically. Sage has given me clear insight into my health conditions, with appropriate recommendations on how to address them. Most importantly from the get go Sage has been validating of my experience where other health professionals haven’t, and my experiences with her as a LGBTIAQ+ person have been outstanding. I would recommend her to anyone, and have even done so to friends and family!

Tina Jenkins at Fertile Ground is truly life changing.

I have been seeing Tina on and off now for years - prior to the conception of my daughter two years ago and recently, post-natal due to suffering from immense exhaustion, hormonal issues and mental health concerns. Within moments, Tina was able to address my blood test results and give me a prognosis that medical professionals have been unable to for 12 months - and within weeks of taking her recommended herbs and supplements, has enabled me to feel better than I have in a long time.

It is truly fantastic the level of care and attention Tina pays to getting your progosis right. She is a fantastic listener, incredibly detailed and diligent - and can honestly make the most unbelievable difference to your quality of life almost instantly. In addition, the Reception team are so lovely and friendly.

I am so glad to have found Tina and Fertile Ground. It is worth every penny - and you cannot put a price on the incredible impact this place (and Tina) has on your health and wellbeing.

They are all so lovely.

My initial naturopath appointment cost me $700 (with a handful of supplements- which of course I found online at a fraction of the price).
Despite my initial bank account blow, I was happy to have a follow up appointment a few months later. After receiving some blood test results I had a simple yes/no question to ask a naturopath. The initial naturopath I had was currently on leave so I emailed and called the admin team to see if there was naturopath on hand who could answer my urgent but simple question. The short answer was NO- and rather I would need to make a short 15minute appointment to answer my question. With a standard 30 minute appointment costing $105 I would presume my 15 minute appointment would cost $52.50. Despite literally crying on the phone over the situation I found myself in and the care and support I needed as a CURRENT client I was denied of this and rather asked to continue to pay hefty pricing for a simple question that would have taken 2 minutes of a practitioners time.
The level of service and support I received from Fertile Ground is unacceptable. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. Their pricing is through the roof and like I said I’ve found all of their practitioner products (metagenics, biomedica etc) online for far cheaper. In my opinion this company takes advantage of vulnerable people in a vulnerable state and is most definitely not willing to go that extra mile (or even a fraction of a mile) for their clients.
Save your money & frustration and find a supportive and kind clinic that puts their clients FIRST and not a money hungry business.

Rhiannon was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking to restore their hormonal balance.

We went there because the wife’s barren, but they tried to make out it was my fault like there’s no lead in my pencil or whatever. Yeesh.

A beautiful atmosphere with the most professional, relatable and devoted staff. Highly recommend.

Wonderful IVF support. Worth the drive to the city for expert fertility care to help with IVF and pregnancy.

I've had multiple massages and treatments at Fertile Ground and each time it has been incredibly relaxing, a beautiful quiet environment, with super attentive practitioners. Every time I go in, I float out. I'm so grateful to be able to access such an incredible healing and revitalising space. Thank you to everyone at Fertile Ground.

Pregnancy massage itself was good but I was unble to relax due to the massage room having very limited sound proofing, there is an office right next door and an interview was being conducted which was very distracting, in addition there was a jackhammer with construction nearby.

A disappointing experience all in all after taking a day off work to try and finally unwind a bit before baby’s arrival. Feedback was given about the noise at the time with reception.
