Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness

Marisa is amazing. I've been with her for over a year now and she has helped me manage my endo. I have no idea where I would be without her.

I've been seeing Marisa on and off for a about 2 years or so. Diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 17, I've struggled to find someone to fight in my corner in regards to finding natural route of taking control of my periods and hormones. Marisa was that person. She listened, she validated and she effortlessly guided me in the right direction. Before seeing her, my periods would have no schedule, LONG durations and blood tests showed elevated rate in hormones.

Within 6 months I was starting to get regular periods of a proper length and that has only improved within the last 2 years. I now know the actual DATE I should get it. Along with this; after recieving recent blood work, my hormone levels are PERFECT. All within normal ranges- to which my doctor said my PCOS is under control.

If you're struggling with PCOS like I was, there is hope beyond the doctor telling you to get on the pill!
Marisa has been amazing and I honestly could not recommend her highly enough!

The results I have seen in such a short amount of times (within a week) have been short of amazing. I was experiencing hot flushes for years in my later 30’s and my moods were erratic and would spike on the daily. I began taking herbs under Marisa’s guidance and my Moods have already balanced out. No more sweats, they have completely gone and hello my Libido is back. I feel so different. Thank-you so much Marisa.

I started seeing Marisa after getting my PCOS diagnosis and she has greatly helped me manage this will her remedies and advice on lifestyle changes. I've always suffered with a variety of symptoms like cystic acne and no regular cycle when I've gone off the contraceptive pill and since seeing her I've been able to manage these symptoms. Would highly recommend!

So thrilled to have found Marisa! She was so thorough during our first appointment and she really took the time to listen to my concerns. Her understanding and treatment of my health issues has been incredible -Within a day of taking the supplements she sent me my lingering cold and flu symptoms have completely disappeared. My energy has improved dramatically too. She has offered me immense relief from my symptoms in such a short time frame where doctors could not. Would highly recommend Marisa to anyone struggling with health concerns!

I have been seeing Marisa on and off for a few years now. She has helped me where standard Western medical practitioners have failed, ignored me and let me down.
Marisa takes the time to listen, asks probing questions, is knowledgable, non judgemental or dismissive, she sets out and explains her plan going forward.
Marisa has resolved gut issues I was having that a gastroenterologist couldn’t seem to help me with. Considering diet alongside remedies.
Currently Marisa is helping me with women’s health issues. I have been to several GPs including one female doctor who told me to take some pain medication and use a hot water bottle and sent me on my way with a $60 bill. I have seen more improvements with the tinctures and remedies that Marisa has prescribed to me over the last 6-8 months or so, than I have in years of doctor visits.
I would absolutely recommend Marisa to anyone who is having such issues and finding that the medical system is just not there for them or would like some complementary medicine to run along side what your GP recommends.

Marisa is phenomenal! Apart from being open to answering questions, she's an excellent listener. She always takes the time to explain the "why" and the "how" and formulates effective and realistic action plans. She provides a holistic approach which is consistent throughout our sessions together. I have seen a vast improvement in my overall mental health, particularly with fatigue and energy levels.

Marisa seems very knowledgeable about gut health, however did not even acknowledge me after I stated I wanted to have a think about progressing forward & then unfortunately was unable to go ahead with purchasing the (very expensive) surprisingly high priced herbal treatment. I emailed her to thank her & pay for my consult but no reply at all.

Before meeting Marisa and going on a treatment plan, I was experiencing severe IBS symptoms almost every day. This was both uncomfortable and would impact my day negatively. Within one week of starting on a treatment plan, I instantly felt relief. Three weeks on and I can honestly say this is the first time I have felt in control of my intolerance to many food groups in years. I am astounded by the improvement to my health in such a short amount of time. Marisa has been extremely thorough, kind, approachable and supportive throughout our online appointments and I highly recommend anyone who has experienced IBS for too long to seek help from Marisa.

I haven't my period for 14 months since discontinuing the contraception pill. I saw Marisa and after a three weeks and 3 appointments my menstrual cycle has regulated and I have got my period! Marisa provided good insights, advice and natural remedies and was very friendly.

Had bad bloating and constipation. Marisa did a thorough assessment and was able to address all my issues within a few weeks. Highly recommend.

I went to Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness experiencing bloating, cramping and at times severe pain. In just a short time I am feeling well and balanced. Marisa has a positive and open perspective on health and I have learnt so much in a short amount of time. I highly recommend!

Marisa has been amazing! She has helped me regain energy after feeling incredibly fatigued for years. She is thorough and kind in her approach. Highly recommend!

I started seeing Marisa as I needed help calming my nervous system and reducing stress and anxiety.

Marisa is warm, friendly and genuine, she spent time listening to my issues and provided a holistic approach in getting me back on track.
Shes helped relieve my sleeping troubles, calming both my digestive and nervous system and this has helped with my mental health tremendously. Only within a few months, I feel like a different person!

I would highly recommend Marisa.

I went to Marisa to seek treatment for IBS which has been a lifelong battle for me. Surprisingly Marisa managed to help me overcome my addiction of sweet food and sugar. I used to frequent the most decadent bakeries and dessert venue in Melbourne and around the world and with a very short time my sugar cravings dropped off completey and I have a balanced diet.

Marisa is fantastic! It’s great to find a practitioner who listens carefully to successfully implement and adjust my treatments. Glad I found her when I did. Very happy with the results.

It may sound cliche but Marisa actually changed my life! After suffering for over a year, having countless tests and visiting doctors and specialists I thought I would have to put up with the pain for the rest of my life and as a young girl in her 20's this was a very depressing thought. I then decided to see a naturopath as a last resort. I am so glad I found Marisa. Marisa takes the time to get to know you as a person, not just a patient, and gets to the root of the problem.

Once I started the program it wasn't long after that I started to notice results. I was starting to feel normal again. The consultations were then scheduled further apart and we would track the results as we went. Marisa's service even extends out of consultation times, I have messaged a number of times if things weren't feeling right or I needed to top up on supplements and she would get back to me that same day without a doubt. She definitely goes out of her way for her patients.

I honestly could not recommend Marisa more.

The consultations are low key and informative. Nothing is rushed and nothing is forced. The session begins as a conversation and then evolves and directs towards a solution.
Since consulting MNW my condition began to change almost instantly and has been steady since meeting with Marisa. As my condition is a type of facial dermatitis it is very important for my self-esteem to present well and keep my dermatitis from flaring up. I was looking for a relatively fast and cost effective solution to my problems and thus far have been more than satisfied.
My partner, colleagues, family and most importantly myself have all seen an instant reaction, therefore my biggest reaction to the consultations is happiness. Marisa really listened to the signs that the body is putting forward but also to my thoughts and worries during a consolation, then a manageable plan is put into place.
I will continue to visit Marisa to maintain and would certainly visit for any other problems. I have also recommended MNW to my family, friends and colleagues. Marisa is calming and listens whilst also informative. Text messages one/ two days prior to confirm the appointment are also a very professional touch.
