Naturopathy
Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness offers a wide range of therapies by Marisa, Director of Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness who is an expert nutritionist and naturopath. She specialises in Fat Loss, Wellness & Preventative care, Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Nutritional & dietary advice, Ear candling and Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA).
Naturopathy or "nature cure" includes the practise of Nutrition, Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy. Naturopathy places an emphasis on a preventative approach to healing and treating the cause/s of a disease state.
Naturopathy is much more than simply replacing drugs with natural remedies. It is a system that marries ancient wisdom with modern science. Effective, healing and cleansing natural medicines are utilised to promote wellness and prevent disease by stimulating the body’s own immune and healing responses. Benefits of Naturopathic wellness care include a holistic approach, minimal or no side effects, cost effectiveness and direct personalised treatment of the cause of the condition.
A NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION
A naturopath will spend up to an hour recording a thorough medical case history, including dietary evaluation, and performing diagnostic techniques such as iridology and any appropriate physical examinations.
This information is pooled together to arrive at specific therapeutic goals for each client, which are implemented through the use of natural therapeutics, dietary advice and lifestyle changes.
Herbal medicine
Herbal medicine uses the most universal and oldest known form of medicine since mankind appeared on Earth. Herbalists mainly prescribe concentrated extracts of European or North American herbs (and increasingly, Australian grown herbs are now being used) or tablets and capsules of the dried, powdered herbs.

Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a very precise system of medicine whereby minute doses of a substance is made potent by a special dilution process, so that the medicine is low in concentration but high in energy. One of the principles of Homoeopathy is that individuals vary in their response to an illness according to their basic temperament. So a homoeopath does not automatically prescribe a specific remedy for a specific illness. Instead a Homoeopath tries to determine the patient's temperament and responses and so prescribes on a more individual basis. Patients suffering from the same disease often require different remedies. Conversely, another group of patients with different diseases may all benefit from the same remedy.
Nutritional & dietary advice
A Naturopath believes that there is a strong relationship between diet and food sensitivities to health problems and therefore focus on balanced quantities of the basic building blocks of health i.e. vitamins and minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the diet. Our Nutritionist will consult you on the diet regime you need to follow for a balanced nutrition and healthy life.Back to top
Iridology 
Iridology is the examination of the iris - the coloured part 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. Although Iridology cannot diagnose a disease it can point out specific areas of the body that are overactive or underactive. Iridology is a safe, non-invasive and painless tool that naturopaths use to detect underlying signs of developing disease at the earliest stage so individuals can be advised of preventative strategies.Back to top
Ultra Lite & Ketosystem Weight loss management
Ketogenic weight loss, or the process of burning fat for energy, is one of the most successful, scientific ways to reduce fat. Conventional low-fat high-carbohydrate diets are failing to curb the obesity epidemic while protein & fat-adequate, low-carbohydrate diets, which encourage fat burning, provide a substantial amount of additional benefits beyond fat reduction such as improving cardiovascular health & sugar metabolism, and reducing high risk obesity related diseases.
Marisa focusses on good quality fats and proteins which provide much better sources of long-lasting energy than carbohydrates and therefore leave you satisfied after eating. This pattern of eating makes it possible to achieve a fat loss of 1 – 3 kg per week. By burning fat and maintaining lean muscle it is possible to acquire the desired body fat percentage and maintain the healthiest body composition.
Marisa also provides the nutritional support you need to encourage fat loss until you reach your goal weight and to help keep the fat off long term.Marisa also performs a body composition test which will let you know how much of your weight is muscle, fat & fluid which is invaluable in determining what your ideal weight actually is.
Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA)
How old are you really?An exciting development at Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness has been the introduction of new technology that helps me to achieve your wellness goals and give you all the tools to help maximise your ongoing health & wellbeing. This system includes a scientifically validated test known as Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) that interprets your results and records your progress and offers a range of natural therapies and exercises to have you looking and feeling your best!
What is Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA)?
BIA is a science that was originally developed for the use in monitoring hospital patients after surgery. BIA is a painless procedure that provides information on several of your body’s “biomarkers”.
What do Biomarkers tell you about your health?
Biomarkers are parameters that measure an aspect of your health so that I can monitor your energy levels, toxicity, inflammation and response to treatment. BIA is also a very accurate tool for measuring body fat and muscle levels, two of the most important biomarkers of all. This is an amazing test! No other test provides all of this information so quickly and easily.
Who is the VLA program for?
The main people to benefit from this program are people who want to:
- Lose weight
- Increase muscle tone and fitness
- Improve their energy
- Age healthily
- Effectively detoxify their body
I will perform a quick test, and then enter your results into a computer. You will be given a computerised analysis of your health, including your key biomarkers, and what areas can be improved. You will also receive information on your body’s cell function, energy production and fluid balance. Over time, your results can be compared, so that we both have a very clear idea of your progress.
I will take this information into account and make treatment recommendations to improve your specific areas of concern. This means that recommended treatment will be specific for you and your concerns, ensuring optimal results.
How do you find out more?
If you want to take the next step to improving your health and wellbeing, talk to me today. I can advise you about BIA and tell you more about how it can benefit you.
