What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is wholistic medicine which uses herbs, vitamins, nutritional & mineral therapy, flower essences, diet & lifestyle advice, to treat the cause of an illness not just the symptoms.

Ready to begin the journey to optimal health?
Megan Low, Naturopath
Well congratulations. You have made the important first step and i hope we can continue making these steps together!
I am a qualified Naturopath with almost six years experience in the clinical setting. I have Advanced diplomas in Naturopathy and diplomas in herbal medicine and nutrition. I am also a recognised Hemaview Live blood analysis practitioner.
I am dedicated to professional development and continually update my knowledge by attending herbal, nutritional and medical seminars to keep up to date with the latest research available.
On your first visit we will assess where you are currently and where you would like to be in regards to your health. When we have established these goals we will then begin tailoring a health strategy that both you and i are comfortable with.
There are two forms of care provided;
1. Symptomatic Care
2. Corrective care
Both are extremely important, but as you would have previously read Naturopathy is about finding the core issue/s in order to bring about ongoing health. This may take some time depending on individual circumstances but i will try to bring about some symptomatic relief as quickly as possible.
Symptomatic Care
Symptomatic care will begin on your first consult. It is a short term treatment plan where we will address what symptoms you have presently and what treatment is best suited to those symptoms. This may include herbal and/or nutritional supplementation, diet and lifestyle advice and referrals if necessary. Follow up consults will be scheduled as needed and more in depth care will be performed during these.
Corrective Care
Corrective care is where we aim to unlock the underlying factor/s that are causing your ill health. It is a more in depth, long term treatment plan where you can truly attain optimal health. Together, we will devise a treatment strategy and what steps we need to take in order to reach your goal.
Diagnostic tests will be performed as deemed necessary either through the clinic, healthscope pathology or through your GP.
Follow-up consults will be scheduled to track your progress and reasses if necessary.
Services Provided
Herbal therapy, Clinical Nutrition, Lifestyle Advice, Iridology, Flower Essences, Hemaview Live Blood Analysis, Natural Fertility Management, Preconception care.
Herbal Medicine
One of the therapies i use is herbal medicine, which are derived from plants and plant extracts. Liquid herbs are prescribed following a consultation and are chosen based on clinical evidence and traditional knowledge. They allow the treatment to be individualised to your specific needs and goals. Preparations of herbal formulas can also be in the form of tablets and teas which are used to improve and sustain health and well-being.
Clinical Nutrition
Nutrition is the foundation of health. It supplies the body with all the building blocks it requires for the optimal functioning of our everyday metabolic and cellular processes. Nutritional status is ascertained via dietary assessment, tongue and nail signs, and through pathology testing.
We are what we eat. Our food is responsible for the nutrients we receive and in some circumstances it's not just about WHAT we eat it's also about what we DONT eat. Counseling can provide you with the knowledge that enables you to make better food choices and improve your state of wellbeing. Correction of nutrient deficiencies can be made through diet modification and/or supplementation.
Nutritional supplements are prescribed based on current clinical research and evidence. Practitioner-only products are used, to assure you receive the highest quality, therapeutic supplements, to bring about optimal health quickly and safely.
Hemaview (Live Blood Screening)
Hemaview is a form of live blood screening that involves only 1-2 drops of your blood to investigate the size, shape, and ratios of the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in your blood. Hemaview assesses the following factors:
Poor nutrition: Iron, B12 & B9 deficiency
Essential Fatty Acid Status
Red Blood Cell function and integrity
Immune function and integrity
oxidative stress and free radical damage
Inflammation
Liver health
Gastro intestinal Health
Seeing is believing
Unlike other blood tests, Hemaview is fascinating. While viewing your live blood, as your practitioner i am able to develop more effective health strategies tailor-made for you. Hemaview enables you and i to better understand the effect of lifestyle and environmental conditions, have on your body and how they may be adjusted to improve your health.
Lifestyle Advice
Lifestyle advice is an important element in naturopathic treatment. The aim is to educate, empower and support you so that you can take a more active role in your own health care. This can be achieved via simple modifications to the way you live.
Iridology
Iridology is the examination of the iris (coloured portion of the eye). Every organ of the body corresponds with a section of the iris. Through various markings, signs and discolourations in the iris, inherited weaknesses and strengths become apparent. Iridology is not used to diagnose a disease rather it can point out specific areas of the body that are overactive or underactive. Iridology is a safe, non-invasive and painless tool, used to detect underlying signs of developing disease so individuals can be advised of preventative strategies.
Flower Essence Therapy
Australian bush and Bach flower essences are prepared from native and overseas flowers that specifically target the emotions. Flower essences may be used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief and stress.
Saliva Hormone Testing
Many factors may contribute to altered hormone levels. These include both environmental and lifestyle factors and specific disease conditions. Saliva hormone testing is very accurate and will give us a better guide of your needs as it reflects the amount of unbound (and active) hormone levels in your blood. Blood (or serum) testing for hormones levels can be misleading and many people are told there is nothing wrong when in actual fact there is. Hormones are fat soluble and are discarded during the preparation of serum blood tests (these are the standard blood tests a doctor may offer). I conduct saliva tests useing a nationally acredited laboratory in Melbourne who are specialists in this area.
Common hormones that we measure include: cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA and melatonin.
Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair mineral analysis (HMA) is a safe, non-invasive test that measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrients and toxic metals found in hair. Hair mineral analysis can detect whether there is an excess or deficiency of vital nutrient minerals such as calcium, potassium, zinc and iron. It can also identify over-exposure to toxic metals such as aluminium, lead, arsenic and mercury. HMA is an invaluable screening tool in both every day and preventive health care.
Many orthodox medical treatments can be supported using natural therapies, and where possible, it may be necessary to work in conjunction with your doctor. I strongly advise that you let all health professionals know what medications, supplements (whether it be herbal or nutritional) and therapies you are currently on or undertaking, so that we can all devise a plan that is best suited and safe for you.
