Naturopathy
At Rejuved, naturopathy is centred on skin health, gut health, and women’s hormonal wellbeing. Consultations are designed to uncover the root cause of ongoing symptoms and support your body with personalised, evidence‑informed care.
Rather than quick fixes, this approach focuses on understanding how the gut, hormones, nervous system and skin are interconnected, and creating realistic, sustainable plans that fit your lifestyle.
Information
-
Naturopathy is a holistic form of healthcare that works with the body’s natural healing processes. It combines nutrition, lifestyle medicine, herbal and nutritional therapies, and functional insight to address imbalances at their source.
For skin, gut and hormonal concerns, naturopathy focuses on:
Digestive function and microbiome balance
Liver detoxification and elimination pathways
Hormonal signalling and stress physiology
Nutrient status and absorption
Inflammation, immune activity and skin barrier health
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, care is individualised and whole‑body focused.
-
Acne, eczema, perioral dermatitis and inflammatory skin conditions
Bloating, constipation, reflux, IBS‑type symptoms
Gut‑skin axis dysfunction
Hormonal acne
PMS, PMDD and menstrual irregularities
Post‑pill hormone support
Perimenopause and menopause
Fatigue, stress and nervous system dysregulation
-
Consultation fees reflect the time spent in‑clinic plus off‑session work such as treatment planning, research, and professional‑grade prescribing.
Initial consultation 75 mins $179.00
The initial consultation is a comprehensive, in‑depth session where we explore:
Your full health history
Digestive function and dietary patterns
Hormonal health (menstrual cycle, contraception history, stress)
Skin history, triggers and patterns
Lifestyle, sleep, stress and nervous system load
Relevant pathology or blood work (if available)
This session allows us to identify key drivers behind your symptoms rather than simply managing flare‑ups.
Following the consult, you’ll receive a personalised treatment plan, functional testing/blood test referrals and/or recommendations, and resources to support your plan.
Follow-up consultation 45 mins $120.00
Follow‑up sessions are where meaningful change happens. These appointments are used to:
Review symptom progress
Adjust herbal, nutritional or dietary protocols
Support implementation and troubleshoot challenges
Review basic test results if applicable
Continue hormone and gut‑skin support as your body adapts
Most clients benefit from follow‑ups every 4–6 weeks initially, with spacing adjusted as symptoms stabilise.
Extended follow-up consultation (functional pathology interpretation/extra time/ patients that haven’t seen me in 6 months) 60 minutes $140.00
An extended follow‑up is recommended for functional pathology interpretation, more complex or evolving presentations, and when deeper support is needed. This session allows additional time to fully unpack progress and refine your plan.
Extended follow‑ups are ideal if you:
Are working through complex skin conditions or persistent gut symptoms
Are navigating hormonal transitions (post‑pill, perimenopause, menopause)
Need to review multiple test results or blood work
Feel stuck or overwhelmed and want to reset your treatment approach
This appointment provides space for deeper education, strategy refinement, and collaborative problem‑solving.
-
To ensure the most effective consultation, please bring:
Recent blood tests or medical reports (if available)
A list of current medications and supplements
Notes on your main symptoms, triggers and goals
This preparation allows the session to focus on high‑impact insights and strategy.
-
After your first appointment, you will receive:
A detailed written treatment plan
Clear dietary, lifestyle and therapeutic recommendations
Guidance on how to introduce changes gradually and sustainably
Email support is available between sessions for brief questions or clarification.
-
Skin–gut–hormone focused care
Root‑cause approach, not symptom suppression
Personalised plans tailored to your body and lifestyle
Evidence‑informed, holistic and realistic recommendations
Collaborative care alongside your GP or allied health team when appropriate
About
Melissa McDonald is a degree-qualified Clinical Naturopath with a special interest in skin health, gut health and women’s hormonal wellbeing. Her approach is grounded in the understanding that many chronic symptoms such as acne, eczema, perioral dermatitis, digestive discomfort, fatigue and hormonal imbalances are deeply interconnected rather than isolated issues.
Mel works closely with women who feel like they’ve “tried everything” and are looking for answers beyond symptom management. By addressing the gut–skin axis, hormone signalling, stress physiology, sleep, lifestyle factors and nutrient status, she helps clients uncover the root causes driving their health concerns and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Her consultations are known for being thorough, personalised and practical, combining evidence-informed naturopathic care with realistic lifestyle and nutrition strategies. Mel places strong emphasis on education, empowering her clients to understand their bodies and feel confident in their health decisions.
