Working with our team means gaining a trusted guide on your path to lasting health.

We combine medical expertise with the depth of functional medicine to help you uncover, understand, and heal the root causes of imbalance.

Experience the Difference of Root-Cause Medicine

As experienced Functional Medicine practitioners we offer a unique, results-driven approach that empowers and transforms. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Get to the Root of Your Symptoms
    Move beyond surface-level treatments. We identify the true drivers behind your symptoms — uncovering hidden imbalances so healing lasts.

  • Experience Truly Personalised Care
    No cookie-cutter plans here. Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and goals.

  • Access Advanced Testing & Insights
    Access the latest diagnostics through Awanui Labs, FxMed, and Nutriscript.

  • Feel Heard, Seen, and Supported
    We take time to understand your story and environment, blending medical precision with human connection.

  • Support for Ongoing and Complex Health Concerns
    We support a wide range of concerns including digestive issues, hormonal changes, fatigue, perimenopause, and metabolic health, with the ability to assist in more complex or longstanding cases where appropriate.

“We don’t guess — we test, listen, and connect the dots so your body can heal at its own pace.”

What to Expect

  • Initial Consultation

    Approx 60 min initial consultation with our Naturopath focused on understanding your health history, hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, and current concerns, and laying the groundwork for a practical, step-by-step plan that supports your long-term health.

  • Follow-Up Consultation (3-4 weeks later)

    Approx 60 min follow-up with Dr. Barnes is a medical consultation that builds on the information gathered during your initial assessment, integrating your history and results to provide clinical interpretation and a clear, prioritised treatment plan.

  • Ongoing Care (every 8–12 weeks)

    Regular check-ins focus on tracking progress and refining your plan.

    Once stable, you will have the tools to maintain your health confidently, with re-evaluation every six months if using long-term or hormonal therapy.
