Health Clarity Consultation is a limited time offer we’ve created to celebrate opening our brand new clinic in Nerang on the Gold Coast.

Usually clients only receive live blood analysis and iridology in a 90min consultation, which is $295.  This exclusive consultation includes both in a 60min session, saving you both time and money.

You still perform a comprehensive health review and you will receive a detailed, individual treatment plan with recommendations.  

However if you have chronic, complex or long-standing issues that need more time to discuss, you may like to select the 90min Initial Consultation (booking link embeded further up this page)/

A naturopath works with you to explore your health concerns through a whole-person approach that considers not just symptoms, but your body, mind, lifestyle, and environment. Rather than masking problems, we aim to uncover the root causes and create a personalised treatment plan that supports long-term wellbeing. A consultation may involve a detailed health history, reviewing blood tests or functional testing, and providing guidance on nutrition, herbal medicine, and natural therapies.

At Health Haven Natural Medicine Clinic on the Gold Coast our naturopaths are experienced in supporting a wide range of concerns, from gut issues and skin conditions, to energy, fatigue and stress, to gut health, immunity, skin conditions, women’s health and hormones and kids health. We integrate naturopathic medicine with evidence-based science, ensuring your plan is safe, effective, and truly tailored to you. When appropriate, we collaborate with other health professionals, creating a seamless, integrative approach that keeps your care comprehensive and aligned with your goals.

Both naturopaths and doctors support your health and quality of life, but our methods are distinctly different. 

Doctors/GP’s often focus on diagnosis and treatment of disease with medications, pharmaceuticals or surgery.  

A Gold Coast naturopath at Health Haven takes an holistic and preventative approach, looking for the underlying drivers of your health condition and restoring balance with natural therapies like herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle interventions, natural products, energy healing and nervous system reset.

At Health Haven our practitioners are fully qualified, insured and undertake annual professional training.  We focus on root-cause care, functional medicine, custom treatment plans and ongoing support for you, step by step. 

We can collaborate with your GP, specialist or other care provider so your care can be integrated, safe and complimentary to any medical treatment you are undertaking.

Yes, modern naturopathy is built on both traditional wisdom and scientific research. Herbal medicine, nutritional therapy and lifestyle interventions are backed by clinical studies and research, meaning what we choose to use is both safe and effective.

At Health Haven Gold Coast our naturopath stay up-to-date with the latest research, combining evidence-based practice with holistic care.  We continually develop our expertise in key areas of interest. 

Yes in Australia naturopaths complete tertiary level qualifications and many hours of clinical practice, before they become qualifed and are able to certify with an association.  The qualifications cover biology, chemistry, anatomy, pharmacology and clinical skills, alongside naturopathic knowledge like herbal medicines and nutritional therapies.  

This ensures that Gold Coast naturopaths at Health Haven are able to treat a broad range of health concerns with safe, evidence-based care.

Our naturopaths undergo additional training in specialised areas, such as kids health and autism, gut health, chronic illnesses, immune conditions, and more. 

Every patient is different and we’ll work with you to address your own health conditions and health goals.

Many of our patients describe their experience with us as life-changing, with noticeable improvements in energy, mood, and overall health. Our commitment to our patients, continuous learning and improvement and the natural health industry, ensure you receive the very best care and the best opportunity for positive outcomes.

This depends on your health goals. Many people begin with an initial consultation and return for a follow-up in 2 to 4 weeks. This allows time to see how your treatment plan is working, and allow your naturopath to check progress, refine your plan and ensure your treatment is progressing. 

Most clients have their first follow-up two weeks after their initial, followed by regular appointments every 4 to 8 weeks.

For more complex or chronic conditions, more frequent visits may be recommended initially. 

Over time as your health stabilises your consultations are naturally spaced further apart, to every few months.

Once health goals are acheived our clients come back once or twice a year for a health check-up and preventaive ongoing care. 

At Health Haven we honour your timeline. Whether your journey takes a few months or longer, our focus is always on creating sustainable changes and lasting results that provide you better quality of life. 

You don’t need a referral to see a naturopath.  Often your specialist, GP or practitioner of another modality may recommend you to us.  However you are welcome to book an appointment for yourself, or your family, at any time, no referral needed.

Before your first consultation you’ll be asked to complete a detailed intake form online, detailing your health issues, medical history and other factors. Please complete this at least 24hrs before your session.

On the day, please bring:

• A list of medications and supplements you’re currently taking.
• Any recent blood tests or functional testing results.
• Notes on your diet, sleep, menstrual cycle, or other health patterns

Health Haven uses a professional clinic system called Practice Better. You can upload any documents, pathology or other information directly to the portal.

You are also welcome to bring hard copies of results and we can scan them, or you can email to reception at info@healthhaven.com.au prior to your consultation.

Providing this information in advance is important, as it allows your naturopath time to review it thoroughly before your session.  The more detail you can share, the better your precisely we can create your treatment protocol.

Yes. Naturopaths undertake extensive training over many years, in herbal medicine. When prescribed by a qualified naturopath, who knows your medical history, and who uses practitioner-grade herbal medicines and supplements (as we do at Health Haven), herbals and supplements are generally very safe and effective. 

At Health Haven we source all medicines from trusted suppliers to ensure high quality, purity, potency and safety.

Before prescribing we are clear on your health goals, history and any concerns.  We provide clear guidance on dosage and duration, and have support between sessions for questions if you need support.

The cost varies based on the type of consultation you choose and the session length.

Initial Consultations are either 60min or 90min duration, allowing the time needed for new case history, analysis and in the 90min initial, live blood analysis and iridology.

Follow-up consultations are shorter and focus on refining your plan, monitoring progress, and providing ongoing support. We have a 20min and a 40min follow-up.

We also offer consultations specific for children, as well as acute or mini consults on Walk-In Wednesday.

For a full list of our service prices, please visit the menu item called Pricing.

Private health fund rebates are available by some funds. Please check with your own fund. 

Herbal medicines and supplements are an additional cost.  At Health Haven we will always work within your budget and all recommendations are openly discussed with our patients before we move forward.

Yes. A large number of our clients are children. We have child-specific consultation types you can find in the menu under “Kids Services”.

Naturopath Cassandra is very experienced in kids health, having first-hand experience with autism, immunity issues and sensory processing disorder. She has also completed additional tertiary training in kids health, spectrum disorders and kids immune health. 

Yes, you can choose either in-person or telehealth/online when you book the consultation. Australian regulations mean we are not able to do Initial Consultations by phone, they are via Zoom/video call.  Follow-up consultations can be done by phone if the client prefers. 

Health Haven offers all consultations as online sessions.  To book an online session we require 100% prepayment when you book. This respects our time, and yours.

No you don’t. If you prefer to not take herbal medicine we can work with supplements, diet and lifestyle interventions.

Health Haven Gold Coast naturopaths are very experienced and qualified herbalists, so when possible we do recommend herbal medicines. We find them very cost effective for patients, as we can often include 4-6 herbs in one bottle, which is much cheaper than 4 or 6 bottles of supplements.

Our patients readily take the herbal medicines, even children. We also have a special way of making kids herbs to make them more pleasant to take.

Herbal medicines are dosed at either 5ml or 7.5ml per dose (2 to 3 times per day), so it’s a very small amount you will need to take each time (with water). 

At Health Haven our prices are competitive and affordable. We don’t keep any exhorbitantly priced supplements or herbs, and instead focus on products that represent both effectiveness and value for money.

Our ethos is to streamline your protocol so you are always on the minimum amount of herbal medicines and supplements. This is not only a benefit for your budget, but also helps us see more clearly what is causing positive changes in your health.

Custom blended herbal medicines are highly economical, as we can often include up to six different herbs in one bottle, with differing actions.  Much better than purchasing six different supplements!

Our herbal medicine costs are outlined in the menu under Pricing.  At a therapeutic dose you will need approximately 100ml per week, which is why we dispense 200ml bottles when we see you fortnightly, or 500ml bottles when we see you every 4-6 weeks.

We do not keep high cost or premium herbs, prefering to supply those in more economical supplement form where we can dispense the exact dose you need.

Everything we dispense for you is at your discretion and approval.  Most clients find their herbal medicine and supplement protocol costs approximately $30-70 per week in the first 4 weeks, reducing as their condition improves.  We remove supplements and medicines from your protocol as soon as your condition has improved enough to do so, as we believe they are a bridge to help you heal but not a crutch for long-term use.
