Vital Chi Wellness - Blackburn

My 16yo daughter was having trouble with her gut health over a couple of years. As a 14-15yo she decided to cut out a lot of protein from her diet and ate volumes of vegetables, fruit and legumes which was the start of her gut health problems. Through self awareness and diagnosis, we knew she had multiple problems from lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance and IBS. Turning to our local GP for a solution, we received no answers. The ultrasound came back clear, so our only recommendation our GP made was to turn to a FODMAP diet. After sticking to a strict FODMAP diet with little improvement, I turned to the internet. Reading the reviews at Melbourne Wellness, I knew Alon would be able to provide the answers that we were looking for. As a mother, I was initially a sceptic but I was willing for my daughter to try anything. Alon was attentive and listened to my daughter's problems. Over a few months, my daughter had to a follow a special diet of low histamine foods. The diet was introduced to her in stages so it wasn't too difficult to follow. She was also recommended a variety of supplement's in conjunction with the special diet. Over 4-5 months her symptoms began to decrease, although still gluten and lactose intolerant, she has managed to wean herself off all supplements except one and she is introducing the foods she once used to have back into her diet.
Alon offered hope and a light at the end of tunnel where there was none. We appreciate Alon's help and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Alon at Melbourne wellness did an amazing job at guiding us to better health and a great lifestyle. Took the time and effort to understand our personal needs, through his vast knowledge we were able to achieve a great goal. Thank you Alon for all your great help!

I have been having a hard time getting sleep and always feeling fatigue. They helped me have a good relationship with food, and how I should approach a proper diet. They gave me a detailed guideline on what food I should eat and what to avoid. I highly recommend this clinic.

Suffering from gut health issues for over a decade now, I have constantly found myself running back into problems I thought had been resolved, which led to increased levels of anxiety when it came to food.

However, after visiting Melbourne Wellness earlier this year and working with Alon, the guidance and knowledge he has provided me has led me to see real, lasting changes, that have had a massive impact on my life. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Definitely 110% recommend Melbourne Wellness! Always welcomed at reception by friendly vibes and smiles. Alon was able to educate, change my outlook on food and all aspects of wellbeing and heal my gut after suffering from digestive issues for years
absolutely love melbourne wellness can't recommend enough!

I ran into a whole range of health problems in 2020, where it felt like my whole system was shutting down. After working with multiple doctors and specialists, I can say that seeing Alon at Melbourne Wellness was by far the best thing I did and was most helpful in getting my health back on track. Alon supported me with diet advice and other areas of wellness over a number of months and I’m now symptom free and feel so much more in control of how to look after myself and manage any flare ups. Thanks so much Alon and Melbourne Wellness!

Some good things come out of Covid-19. With more downtime and less travel I was able to take an opportunity to look at how I was managing my Thyroid auto-immune condition, Hashimoto's. I always wanted to take a holistic approach to my health but didn’t feel like I had the tools or time before. Alon from Melbourne Wellness really helped me on my journey to empower me with those tools to not only help manage my general health and Hashimoto’s while working from home, but also for when I’m back in the office and travelling. I’ve learnt so much about what works for me through Alon, and while the sessions were virtual we built a good rapport and connected on what was important to me. I highly recommend Melbourne Wellness and Alon they helped me take control of my health journey.

For the last year and a half I've been suffering from IBS like symptoms and what i had been told by Doctors was a chronic Sinus Infection. As a last option i decided to see a Naturopath. Describing my symptoms i was told there was a good chance i had developed a Histamine Intolerance as a result of bad dieting habits. I was doubtful that by changing my eating habits that i would see improvement and i didn't in the first 2 months. But gradually over time i found that My IBS got better and that there were plenty of days where i had no Sinus symptoms. It took me roughly 6 months for my stomach to get back to the way it was before my symptoms began, and am very thankful to Alon for the encouraging help along the way.

I suffered with migraines for a long time. I was ready to try anything to feel normal. After doing extensive research I thought trying Shiatsu treatments might help. I found Melbourne Wellness and the lovely Ann. After my first Shiatsu treatment I felt a huge difference, I did not have a migraine for weeks. Fast forward a few months later - I have been a regular client of Ann's and I can honestly say that I feel like a new and improved version of myself. I do not get migraines any longer; I am more connected to my body and I overall feel happier. A shiatsu treatment (for me) is more beneficial than a remedial massage.
I will be a client for life!

Everyone at the clinic is so kind and helpful, and Alon has been able to help me with a number of issues relating to overall health, diet, and hormones, helping massively with issues such as hair loss, digestive problems and clearing up my skin:)

I've got nothing but kind words for Vital Chi! I saw Alon and felt like he really took his time to listen to me before recommending anything. He explained everything really clearly to me, which was very helpful as I'd never seen a naturopath before. He also gave me options for treatment and made me feel empowered to choose the right path for myself and set out templates for me to maintain my health in the long term.
Would definitely recommend.:)

I started attending Vital Chi Wellness Clinic in Blackburn in February this year, working with their naturopath, Alon. From the outset, Alon listened to my list of health problems and immediately established a plan of action working with my diet and lifestyle. He clearly and concisely outlined each step and provided written information after each session to assist. Each step was always done in consultation with me and what I was comfortable attempting. At the second session, looking at the results of blood tests that my GP had ordered, he knew he was on the right path. Within a month I already felt the benefits. It is now 6 months since commencing and I can’t believe how well I feel…. Feeling & knowing the benefits, it is easy to maintain all that I have learnt from Alon. The staff in the shop were pleasant and obliging. Thank you.

Wonderful!
Alon has been great in helping me find a solution with my skin and health concerns.
Despite years of trial and error and experimenting on what works and what doesn’t work for me, I’ve finally been given a solution for these problems and it was solved within months.

I’m so happy! My only regret is not going in soon enough and getting any help. The staff in the clinic are very warm and are understanding of you. THANK YOU Vital Chi!

Alon and the team at Vital Chi Wellness were wonderful. His approach to improving my health was incredibly straightforward, easily implemented and I felt results instantly. My mindset has changed and this in turn has dramatically improved my physical health.

Vital Chi has been my go-to clinic since 2012. I have seen Lina and Alon over the years and both are exceptionally skilled practitioners. Both Lina and Alon were able to help move me from feeling like I was just surviving - to being energetic and thriving. Old habits (be it food choices, sleep hygiene or lack of exercise) are hard to break, but the practitioners at Vita Chi are experts at educating and guiding clients to inspire change and lead them to healthier and happier lives. Life happens and sometimes we fall off the wagon, but it's reassuring to know that Vita Chi and its amazing team of practitioners and reception staff are always ready to help you get back to a state of vitality and wellness. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Vital Chi for all your wonderful care throughout the years:)

Alon at Vital Chi is amazing. Not only is he a lovely guy but he has helped me deal with some really awful hormonal issues that had started to impact my daily life. Within a month of meeting Alon I felt like my old self again.

I have seen Shiho since March 2020. What she prescribed for me has changed my sinus condition from Doctors appointments every 3 weeks to no Doctors appointments at all for over 3 months. I highly recommend seeing her for an appointment if you are having sinus issues. It has worked a treat for me! I feel well again. Thank you.

Lina has been helping me for many months to overcome a number of health issues. She has been assisting me with severe acne, hormonal imbalances, gut issues (parasites, candida), stress management and anxiety. She has used her expertise to give me the right supplements, nutritional advice and lifestyle recommendations that have improved my situation drastically. She is always professional, personable, and super supportive of whatever it is that I am going through. I could not recommend Lina and this clinic enough, thank you:)

Lina has been professionally assisting with treatment for my chronic kidney disease where 6 months ago I was heading to dialysis. Lina has been exceptional in explaining her approach to my kidney problem and even enlisted agreement by my Nephrologist to modify my medication regime that she rightly believed would have a positive impact. My kidney function has improved by 50% and I'm confident that with Lina's continuing support I will maintain or further improve my kidney health. Lina has been receptive to seeking out information for any questions that I have and has taken a holistic approach in my treatment - which simply has had such a positive impact - thank you Lina!

Shiho is an exceptional practitioner. With her support, I have seen a huge improvement in my health and well-being, particularly in the management of my hormonal health. As well as being an incredible naturopath, she is also an amazing listener and very thoughtful in her advice. Thank you, Shiho and Vital Chi.
