Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness

If you are looking for a naturopath that will listen to your concerns and really try to understand where you are at in your health journey, I would recommend Marisa. Both my daughter and I were really comfortable talking about all our issues. Marisa is non-judgmental and very supportive.

Have seen results within 2 months of my first treatment!
Marisa is full of information, very encouraging and helpful.
I was seeking a naturopath to help with my monthly cycle issues after several failed naturopath appointments & it is so relieving to find a professional who can help me. I have seen changes in issues i've been dealing with for over 9 years in just two months.
I highly recommend Marisa especially for any females struggling with cycle issues.

I have PCOS and decided to inquire about Marisa's services and try to treat my symptoms naturally. Marisa prescribed me remedies to help improve my condition and regulating my sugar levels. If you have irregular cycles, I highly recommend seeing 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 when I've gone off the contraceptive pill and since seeing her I've been able to manage these symptoms. Would highly recommend!

Before I saw Marisa I had been experiencing acne for several years since high school. When I’ve reached my 20’s my acne had gotten worse and my period cramps too. I’ve only been seeing Marisa for just over two months now and I’m already seeing a difference in not only my acne but also my period, with less cramping and headaches. Marisa has a friendly personality and takes the time to understand your situation. Highly recommend!

I recently started seeing Marisa after having my third baby and suffering with chronic acne and facial dermatitis for over 15 years.
My biggest issue was my perioral dermatitis and after only three appointments with Marisa I am already seeing fantastic results. My face is not as red, dry or itchy and I am feeling less sluggish and overall, I have more energy.
My skin has responded to the use of natural therapies to treat issues from the inside out with the combination of a topical soothing lotion to use daily.
I am looking forward to seeing my skin continue to heal, and I highly recommend Marisa for anyone wanting a personal and thorough approach to finding a solution to any similar issues.

Marisa explained me in detail about my condition, helped me out and I had a great experience, I’d highly recommend her if you’re looking for a naturopath.

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 I 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 went to see Marisa to look into issues I have been experiencing for the past 2 years or so. I am a young adult female and have been having issues with unintended weight loss, lack of appetite, general feelings of unwellness and nausea.

When i saw Marisa for the first time, she really took the time to listen to everything I was saying even if it wasnt directly related to specific questions she was asking - I could tell she felt that all aspects of my life were important to take into consideration for coming up with a treatment.

Once i followed advice and used the prescribed medicine for the first week, I immediately felt an improvement. In the second week we made some changes to my diet plan and that also made a huge difference.

I am feeling so much better and definitely recommend to see Marisa.

I haven't my period for 14 months since discontinuing the contraception pill. I saw Marisa and after 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.

I went to Marisa to seek treatment for IBS and bloating 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.

I have been seeing Marisa for over a month now after feeling extremely sluggish, bloated and uncomfortable. Marisa comprehensively listened and identified what issues I was having and within two weeks I felt drastically better. I am extremely impressed with Marisa's nutritional knowledge too - her holistic view on health using both nutrition and naturopathic remedies has helped me greatly. Great value for money and an investment in your health for the long term. I highly recommend Marisa and Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness!

I highly recommend Marisa! When I came across to her work I was looking for a solution to improve my skin. As I read about her specialties on her website, I found out that she could also help me prepare my body for pregnancy.

She is definitely thorough, kind and asks questions to understand your needs and find the best solution for you.

I've joined her detox program focusing on both issues I had and my skin has improved 100% on the first third of the program!

Marisa is very attentive and intelligent. She makes a strong effort to explain and break down the knowledge of her practice, in order to create a mutual understanding to manage symptoms. Her knowledge of Naturopathy and nutrition is extensive and she works hard to tailor a unique plan of action to help manage health issues. She has been very approachable and kind and has helped me manage health issues I have been dealing with for a very long time.

I started seeing Marisa three weeks ago for nausea related issues that have been ongoing for many years. I had explored other options that weren’t working so I decided to see a naturopath. I have already noticed a big change in a short space of time. Marisa is very approachable and compassionate and she makes sure to explore every angle. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marisa to my friends and family.

Marisa is a wonderful practitioner with a wealth of knowledge. I found her to be very approachable, genuine and effective in her treatments. I am grateful for Marisa’s help, and would recommend Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness to everyone.

Marisa is very approachable and thorough, both extremely important qualities. I had gone to her in March this year with my almost 1 year old, to get her immunity strong, so that her body can fight the germs she's getting exposed to at day care effectively. Did she fall ill after that? Yes, twice and it was pretty bad, Marisa did not give up and introduced new herbs. Did those herbs work well? Absolutely yes!
I am writing this review because I want everyone to enjoy their kids' good health. Parenthood is so much more fun and we can put our energy in more constructive activities. I have always believed health is wealth, and wish everyone good health so that we can enjoy life and be happy always. Thank you, Marisa.

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.

Marisa was friendly, approachable and her desire to help was obviously genuine.
Since consulting her I have realised the importance of looking after my health. Marisa's philosophy is as much about prevention as cure which means I don't seem to catch the seasonal ailments my colleagues do.

I was very impressed with Marisa's knowlege of men's health issues, and as an older first time father she helped to ensure I was in the best shape possible, and my partner and I now have two happy healthy kids with no allergies. I highly recommend Marisa for getting well and staying well.

Absolutely heart broken. I booked in this morning to see an 'industry professional' regarding getting my body tested for muscle/fat percentages and measurements and just check what could be a problem with me/what could help me lose weight due to how hard it is for me to lose even a kg of fat. She was SO blunt with any information or any questions I asked then when I started asking about further consultation to answer my questions she started going on about HER results by completely illuminating all carbs and having none. Not only did I tell her I've tried all that and try to explain that the training I do, no carbs isn't practical for me and doesn't work - yet that seemed to go in one ear and out the other because HER plan is what works and her OVER priced supplements are the only thing that will make the scale go down (mind you my issue isn't the scale it's not dropping FAT) I'm not stupid. I know if I eliminated carbs the scale would go down, that doesn't mean FAT would be lost, it's just weight. After being there for EXACTLY, down to the minute, an hour she wrapped up her pointless an non helpful speech and said 'because you used the hour your price has gone from $40 to $165. I've never been more frustrated or upset in my entire life. Not only did I get NO information or response to the questions I asked by her approach is unrealistic, impractical and she did not listen to a thing I was trying to tell her regarding me and my issues. I don't mind paying money, but if I know I'm getting the information or the results I'm entitled to. I'm so SICK of these 'industry professionals' using people like me who obviously have harsh insecurities and issues with their body and who are just trying to find answers and find someone that will work for them, just for a bit of money! WHEN will I find someone who can give me the answers OR help me find something that's going to work for me? To anyone in the same boat - do NOT attend the Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness centre (Newport or city) it's a waste of time and money and Melissa, you should be ashamed of yourself and how you treat clients.
