Health Haven Pathways
When you want a plan, not just an appointment
Some things need time, testing and someone supporting you through a tailored healing process. For an unpredictable gut, perimenopause changes, or chronic health that needs ongoing care, we offer healing pathways.
Twelve weeks, a clear roadmap, supplement discounts, clear next steps and ongoing support.
What’s the difference
Appointments or a Pathway?
Many people seek naturopathic treatment with a standard initial appointment, with occassional follow-up sessions. For some that’s all they need, for others, it doesn’t have the momentum they need to get the results they seek.
A Pathway is different. It’s specificially created for problems, issues or conditions that need more time and support, that require ongoing help as you heal and that could benefit from a detailed health roadmap custom created for you.
When To Choose A Pathway or Appointment?
A standard appointment is right when…
You want to make a start and just see how it goes
Your concern is fairly recent or fairly contained
You'd rather go session by session without a complete timeline or roadmap
A health haven pathway is right when…
You've been dealing with this for months or years
You've already tried things that didn't work, or worked briefly
You want some testing included to save you money and give clarity to treatment
You want sessions, support and plan built in, not booked appointment by appointment
Not sure which? Book an Initial Consultation first or a 15min free Wellness Chat.
What Every Pathway Includes:
DEEP DIVE INITIAL
A comprehensive review of history, symptoms and patterns (plus live blood analysis & iridology if in-person), specifically used to create your custom healing roadmap.
functional test
Included rather than billed on top, each pathway includes one comprehensive functional test to assist your treatment planning.
healing roadmap
A written 12-week plan showing what we’re doing, in what order, and why for complete clarity.
scheduled sessions
Across the 12 weeks so we can track progress, support changes and gain real results and momentum.
Ongoing support
Your symptoms won’t wait for your next session, neither should you. Priority ongoing support between appointments.
discounted practitioner supplements
Every pathway client receives a discount on the prescribed supplements for their treatment protocol, supplied from our inhouse dispensary.
Let’s Talk Pathways
At Health Haven we offer three different pathways, to suit clients with different health issues and goals.
Gut Recovery is our longest standing pathway, supporting clients since 2017 and gets great results, whether you have a diagnosis yet or not.
The Perimenopause Pathway supports clients through the changing conditions of the hormonal transition, into their next vibrant chapter, something our naturopath has personally navigated.
The Complex Health Pathway is a foundation at Health Haven, as we have a long history in supporting clients with multi-system, chronic, layered conditions.
introducing the pathways
Gut Recovery
For those dealing with gut dysfunction and varying symptoms like cramps, bloating, IBS, SIBO, reflux, bowel irregularity and food reactions that are ruling your life.
You’ve probably done the eliminations. Gluten went, then dairy, then onion and garlic, and the list of safe foods keeps getting shorter while the symptoms keep changing. Maybe you’ve been given an IBS label, which named the problem without explaining it (or how to fix it).
Gut Recovery is about finding the actual drivers; the pathogens, microbes, biome imbalances, inflammation and damage; removing, eliminating, repairing and rebuilding. No longer managing symptoms on a forever shrinking diet, but a pathway forward where resolution is the outcome.
As gut conditions vary in symptoms and severity, we offer a two-phase pathway. Some clients only need the first phase, some however need both. We finish Phase One before we make a decision about continuing onto Phase Two, 100% pressure-free.
Phase One – 12 weeks
We investigate, identify and create your personal 12 week healing roadmap. Included is comprehensive food trigger testing (500 items) to create your personalised diet plan. Then we remove what’s driving the issues and repair the gut. Most people notice meaningful improvement in the first few weeks.
Optional – Phase two 12 weeks
We decide at the end of 12 weeks if continuing to Phase 2 is right for you. In this phase we rebuild and consolidate. Reintroducing foods, restoring the microbiome, and healing in a structured way for long-term success. Offered at the end of Phase 1, at a continuation rate.

The Perimenopause Pathway
For women who are experiencing hormonal changes, cycle disruption, changes in sleep, mood, energy or weight, or new symptoms you think could be perimenopause or menopause.
Awake at 3am. Brain fog you can’t push through. Moods you don’t recognise. Unreliable cycles and ever changing symptoms. Dealing with hot flushes, night sweats or trouble sleeping. Weight that’s creeping up regardless of what you do. Aches and pains that have you questioning what’s going on.
Whether you have pathology, a diagnosis or still trying to work it all out, The Perimenopause Pathway is your solution. We work together to support your body’s transition.
a 12 week pathway
We map your symptoms properly and investigate what’s driving them with detailed functional pathology. Work on the symptoms impacting your life, adjusting as things change with a healing roadmap that fits your life.
Continuation options
At the end of 12 weeks some women wish to continue within the pathway, others choose to move to more casual appointments. We’ll discuss your options and the best way forward, and you’ll be supported every step.
For many women we work alongside your existing care providers, like your GP. On hormone therapy or considering it? That’s your decision and I support you, creating a treatment plan that works with it. Plenty of women on HRT find they have symptoms it doesn’t touch, that’s also where naturopathy can be truly effective.

introducing the pathways
The Complex Health Pathway
For layered, long-standing or multi-system health issues, including oncology support, chronic fatigue, MCAS, mould-illness and diagnosed conditions.
Maybe you’ve been dealing with a condition for a long time that has so many layers and complexities, you need someone who’s willing to spend the time to put all the pieces together. Perhaps you have a diagnosed condition that needs support. Or you’re living with a chronic issue like MCAS or mould and are tired of trying to work it out yourself.
These conditions are complex and take time to resolve or manage. Clients on the Complex Health Pathway start with a 12 week program and ofren continue on, sometimes for 12 months or more.
a 12 week pathway
A very individualised pathway, we begin with a deep dive of your condition, symptoms and history to help us map the way forward. We include a detailed functional pathology or epigenetic test, and step through a thorough treatment roadmap, with ongoing support.
tailored duration
Every person on the Complex Health Pathway is different, so their duration of support is different. Many clients have improvements in the first phase of support, and choose to continue on longer term pathways with less frequency consultations, but the same ongoing support.

Getting Started on a Pathway
We know that getting help for your condition can be confusing. You’ve probably tried things that didn’t work, and invested in help that didn’t end in positive outcomes. That is why we are clear and upfront about the way we work. This is how your journey on a healing pathway begins.
Book a Wellness Chat or Initial Consultation
Not sure a pathway is the right solution? Book a free 15min Wellness Chat to discuss your options. Or, book an Initial Consultation and we’ll discuss the pathway at your visit.
Your Healing Roadmap
Bringing together everything learned from your consultation, health history, symptom discussion and pathology, your three month Healing Roadmap is created. I walk you through it step by step.
Support, Structure & Momentum
For the next 12 weeks you’ll follow the Healing Roadmap while attending a series of appointments to track your progress, adjusting as needed. Between sessions you have VIP support and are never alone.
Book a free 15min Wellness Chat to find out more, or start with an Initial Consultation.
If we decide at your Initial Consultation that a Healing Pathway is the right solution for you, your Initial Consultation will become the first session in your pathway and the cost of the session is deducted from the total program cost*, so you’re never out of pocket.
*Credit applies to a standard Initial Consultation booked at full price.
FAQs
Do I have to start with a pathway?
Not at all. Some people choose a pathway upfront, many others start with a standard Initial Consultation then decide to commit to a pathway.
Is testing extra?
Some testing is included, such as trigger food testing on the Gut Recovery Pathway, or the comprehensive pathology panel included in The Perimenopause Pathway.
As everyone is different there may be need for additional testing. If needed it is always discussed with you an approved beforehand, and provided at cost price (we do not mark up testing as other clinics do).
Can I do a pathway if I'm not on the Gold Coast?
Yes. Pathways run online Australia-wide, as well as in-person from our clinic on the Gold Coast. Any herbal medicines or supplements you need are posted or couriered to your door.
Can I claim private health?
Naturopathic appointments within your pathway can be claimed if your fund covers naturopathy. Naturopathy was reinstated to private health starting in April 2026. Testing and supplements generally can’t be claimed on private health, however clients on a pathway enjoy a discount on supplements. We have HiCaps in clinic, so you claim on the spot.
What if I need longer than 12 weeks?
Some people do, and that’s not uncommon. We review at week twelve and decide together, you’re never locked into more than you’ve agreed to. Continuation options are sometimes cheaper, as there are less consultations and testing, but always the same level of ongoing support. Plus we offer pay by the month options to make it easier, as well as Afterpay and ZipPay.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes you can, and in fact, most clients do. Our easy monthly repayments allow you to manage your health investment. Plus we offer AfterPay, ZipPay and soon to offer Klarna as well.
What is the cost of each Healing Pathway?
The can vary, as they include different pathology, testing, sessions and inclusions. Please visit the relevant Healing Pathway page to view both the pay upfront and pay in installments options.
Do you work alongside my doctor or specialist/s?
Yes we can. If you want us to, we can absolutely work alongside your GP or specialists and keep them abreast of your treatment, with a detailed letter after each session, or a monthly update. We work with you, and them, for your best outcomes.
