Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic

I have had multiple consults with Emma Berry, for overall health and dna assessment. She is very thorough and has a clear understanding and knowledge of personal health, nutrition, and whats required for a person to become as healthy as they are capable of, not just fixing symptoms.

I've been seeing Angela for years. She is so knowledgeable, skilled, thorough and works with my needs and lifestyle choices. I have recommended her many times.

Campbell is an amazing Chiropractor. Once you tell him where it hurts, he will fix you up perfectly and doesn't rush like others I have been too. Highly recommend Campbell.

I’ve been seeing Angela for the last eight years. What can I say about this amazing human being … She helped me in my most difficult time. My mental and physical health was being challenged. She was able to tap into her own intuition and always asked me to tap into my own. She was able to get my health back on track I just love her holistic approach. She is an Angel but is not afraid to tell you the hard truth

Rebecca is an absolutely amazing naturopath. After doing full testing, she was able to diagnose and prescribe appropriate supplements to help with leaky gut. After struggling with this condition fir many years, Rebecca was able to get to the bottom of it. She is also so friendly and always able to see me and help along the way on an ongoing basis.

Beth Bundy MNC"s naturopath has been an absolute godsend for my health and wellbeing - reccommend her to anyone. Been very helpful to me and i have learned a lot from her.as well

Emma is amazing! Such a wealth of knowledge and support. She has helped improve the quality of my health in ways I didn’t even think possible.

I started seeing Emma when trying to conceive. I have since been seeing her for 2.5 years through two pregnancies. She always goes into depth to explain tests and results required making sure that I understand why GP’s may be content but health can be more optimal than what they accept as ‘ok’.

Emma has been such a support in my families on going health, she has been thorough extremely informative and has even picked up on things that my Doctor did not. I can't thank her enough.

I could not speak highly enough about Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, everyone who works at reception, Danielle and Olga. I was seeing Olga throughout my first and second trimesters for naturopathy, but I got so much more from her than I ever anticipated. Olga provided such a safe space for me and helped me navigate pregnancy in the most beautiful way. Her knowledge and attention to what your body needs is very rare to find and I would recommend her to anyone. The same goes for Danielle, her knowledge and protective nature she has over her patients never went unnoticed and I always looked forward to sessions with her.

I feel so lucky to have been able to spend those first few months of my pregnancy with everyone at the clinic, thank you to everyone for your personalized service and the time you gave me.

Back in 2019 I was told about Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, I went along and saw Angela who was able to help me with digestive and menopausal issues I was having. Along came covid and I was thrown of course. I now went back this week and saw Georgina. Georgina was thorough and understood my concerns and answered all my questions. I left Melbourne Natural Medicine feeling alot less anxious and feeling more confident in what my body needed. Thank you! Georgina for explaining everything so well and addressing my concerns, your patience and working through my brain fog. I look forward to starting your prescription for me and getting back on track. It was lovely to meet you.

I highly recommend Olga as a naturopath for anyone seeking help with gut issues. I had been struggling with gut issues for quite some time and Olga was able to identify the problem at my first appointment. Her approach is holistic and she takes the time to understand the root cause of the issue before recommending any treatment. Olga is very knowledgeable and provided me with a clear and concise explanation of what was going on in my body. She also recommended a personalized treatment plan which was effective and easy to follow. I am grateful for her expertise and support in helping me manage my gut issues. I would definitely recommend Olga to anyone seeking a caring and knowledgeable naturopath.

The practitioner, Olga, was very understanding and patient when addressing our problems. She gave us a thorough treatment plan, and always answered all our emails whenever we needed to ask her for help. Overall, she deeply cares for the welfare of her patients, and she makes us feel as if we are in good hands.

If you are on your optimal health journey and need a place to start. We highly recommend here! The support we have received from Emma and the testing available, has been an eye opening experience and we are truly grateful so far. Cant' wait to see even better results as we continue on our path.

Georgie is great, she is identifying my specific health problems via thorough testing and accurate reading of the results and giving me helpful solutions. It's taking out a lot of anxiety and guesswork for me, I'm very grateful

If allopathic medicine is about drug pushing than this clinic is about supplement pushing immune to the holistic principles they espouse.

Saw Olga Ischenko the other day who was late - important as the only parking at this location is metered so watch out for that. To say she was unhelpful is a understatement.
In no particular order I’ll list the incompetent ‘advice’ she offered:

- laughed when I expressed concern over my progesterone levels in early pregnancy simply stating “why would you get your levels checked in pregnancy they are everywhere”? Absurd statement given the relationship with progesterone and miscarriage. Unbelievably shrugged off my concerns about oestrogen dominance. If you want this kind of dismissal go see a regular gp, no difference here.

- Made a pretentious comment about chemist warehouse when asking where I had looked at prenatal supplements only to go on to recommend a supplement from there herself.
- recommended pasteurised milk over raw which has long been proven incorrect. Look up what the creator of pasteurisation said about the practice himself at the end of his life.

- Advised to be weary of liver due to “toxins” when it is one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth, instead just opted for supplement pushing. Any good holistic practitioners should be aware you can chelate “toxins” - name a food now that doesn’t have any, even organic does. Wholefoods have the cofactors for optimal absorption of vitamins and minerals I can’t believe I have to state that but apparently she’s not aware. Look up studies on the absorption of vitamins in supplementation they usually fall in about <10%

- Recommended supplementation with a known toxic vitamin iron, for anyone reading this - women absorb 3x as much iron as men do. When pregnant, their higher estrogen levels cause them to absorb about 9x as much as men (Ray peat) offering supplements with this is dangerous esp if you are already high in iron (likely you would be in pregnancy, she should know this)

- Spent the entire rest of the session going around in circles about my diet rather than addressing anything else I listed on the long form they make you fill out. She then spent most of the time shilling the supplements she wanted to sell me.

- Advised to get blood work done at their private clinic/affiliated clinic which costs $30 just for a simple read of b12 - unbelievable not to just advise people to go to a gp and request a test again - big red flag about their priorities, no interest in peoples financial situations.
- Couldn’t confirm if their products are third party tested or not.

Lastly, Got a call prior to the booking to make the full $190 payment the day before, terrible practice really sets the tone of the money grubbing interests of these people. They are banking on you not knowing anything about yourself or nutrition at this place strongly advise against visiting. It was like visiting a pill pushing GP - avoid.

Reply to the clinic:
This won’t allow me to respond to the response this clinic has given so I’ll state it here - iron supplementation is toxic not iron itself - this is what I was stating. It is well known. Regardless my iron was high with a family history of Hemochromatosis so your blanket statements regarding iron don’t exactly apply here.

She laughed off wanting to test my hormones, dismissed my concerns saying “why test now your hormones are everywhere”
The 1 hr parking was not available only metered was.
She pushed x3 courses of supplementation on me as well as expensive blood testing without even saying that you could get this done through Medicare. Please do some reading on the efficacy of supplementation it does not fix a poor diet.
She did not state the fish oil tablets were third party tested.
I’m well aware of organic meats being superior that’s what I have already and no she did say be careful of liver due to “toxins”.

The best! I’ve been coming to this clinic for a few years now to see Emma, who is an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner. She has supported me through a range of health needs and in particular through my most recent pregnancy. Amazing is an understatement!

Olga has been a fantastic naturopath for the past 6 months. I started seing her for my adult acne. After moving to Australia permanently I've been suffering break outs mostly around jaw area. Suffering from acne and bloating although following a vegan diet made me seek her advise as i wanted to have this attended to naturally. After speaking to Olga and doing several tests including hormonal blood tests, gut test, changing diet (eliminating wheat/gluten, onions, garlic) and currently about to try fodmap I can finally (and for the last few weeks) notice a difference. I can wash and touch my face without being in pain from all the inflammation. This makes me so happy! I highly recommend Olga to anyone dealing with similar issues.

Very happy with the treatment and the products. I feel like I am finally getting answers and progression to self management.

We had a wonderful experience with Erica and the welcoming team at the front desk. We received so much helpful advice and supplements that have since helped our family immensely.
