Do you offer Online naturopathy appointments?
Yes. We provide both in-person consultations in Brisbane and secure Online/Telehealth Naturopathy appointments for anyone within Australia. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate anyone from outside Australia at this time.
What happens at my first Naturopathy consultation?
Your first session includes a detailed discussion of your health history, current concerns, and goals. If needed, we may recommend functional testing. Together, we’ll create a personalised care plan to guide your next steps. Check our Services page for more detailed information.
How long does it take to see results with Naturopathy?
Everyone is unique. Some clients feel improvements in a few weeks, while others notice changes gradually over several months. This can also depend on your specific health concerns and goals. At Dux Naturopathy, we create realistic, step-by-step care plans to help you move toward lasting results.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book online through our website or contact us directly. We offer both in-person consultations in North Brisbane and online Telehealth appointments Australia-wide.
Can I claim back on Medicare or Private Health?
Yes, you can claim a Private Health rebate on your consultation fees, depending on your level of cover. Please check with your fund directly. Unfortunately Naturopathy is not registered under Medicare.
Do you see children?
At this stage in time I can accommodate clients aged 14+ years of age.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
A minimum of 24 hours notice is required for all cancellations or rescheduling of appointments.
A fee equal to 50% of the consultation rate will be charge for all late cancellations or non-attendance.
What are common physical signs of burnout?
Burnout doesn’t just live in the mind, it shows up in the body too. Common signs include persistent fatigue, brain fog, poor digestion, headaches, increased illness, and changes in appetite or sleep. These signals indicate your body is under chronic stress and needs deep rest and replenishment.
How is burnout different from depression or anxiety?
While burnout can overlap with depression and anxiety, it’s often triggered by chronic stress or emotional overload. Naturopathy helps differentiate these patterns and provides tailored support that addresses both the mental and physiological roots of stress and fatigue.
What does nervous system regulation mean in Naturopathy?
It means giving your body the conditions it needs to shift out of “fight or flight” mode and into “rest and repair.” This may include nervous system soothing herbs, nutritional support for neurotransmitters, and lifestyle tools such as breathwork, gentle movement, consistent sleep rhythms and almost always gut support.
Can Naturopathy support trauma recovery?
While Naturopathy isn’t a replacement for therapy, it’s a powerful complement. Many clients recovering from trauma benefit from nervous system nourishment, herbal support for anxiety or sleep, and nutritional strategies that stabilise mood and energy, and gut-brain-axis support.
