Best Holistic medicine practitioners in Australia

Working with Lisa over the last few months has been nothing short of miraculous.
She has helped change my life around for the better, and was there to listen to me and help. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve on their life. 👍🏽

Dr Chris Chapple is very personable, knowledgeable and competent. A recent visit helped resolve a long-standing condition regarding which I had seen GPs, specialists, and dieticians with little progress. Based on my own positive experiences, I’d recommend him to anyone (at any age) who is seeking to optimise their health and/or help solve a chronic health condition.

Great clinic, from the ladies at the front desk through to Dr Anne ChappelWhat a relief to meet such a caring knowledgeable Doctor.

After a long road to find out the source of my issue I finally feel like I'm on my way and in good hands.

I reached out to Kim after I was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism at 35.

Even though I was placed on medication and my thyroid levels were back “within normal range” 6 months later, I felt little improvement from my symptoms. With my quality of life being very poor, my doctor & specialist didn’t know what to do with me.

Thankfully I found Kim, fearing that the debilitated state I was in, was my new normal. I started to realise that I needed to combine a holistic approach to understand & address my health on a deeper level.

Kim was understanding & thorough. She really got to know me, my situation and was reassuring that despite what I was being told, there were things we could do & that I would feel well again.

I appreciated that Kim focussed on various testing, working on treatment plans according to your results. Interestingly, I had a lot going on! And together we worked towards healing.

It’s nearly been a year since I called Kim for help & I can say that I have seen a vast improvement in my health and wellbeing. I have felt like my old self again and would hate to think where I would be without her expertise and support.

Kim really helped me through an extremely difficult health crisis. Thank you!!

Dr Chappell was beyond APPALLING during my 2 consultations with her - utterly uncaring, inept and unprofessional. Deserves to be deregistered!

Dr Anne Chappel changed my life. When I found Dr ChappeI I had been diagnosed previously with hypothyroidism and the prescribed medication I was taking made little difference to my symptoms. In fact my symptoms continued to worsen and every aspect of my life was negatively impacted. I don’t miss the terrible brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, sleep issues, anxiety, feeling cold all the time, hair loss and weight problems. It brings tears to my eyes when I remember that time in my life.
I’ve been able to lose weight and exercise without the crushing fatigue. I am forever grateful to Dr Chappel for the knowledge and care she has provided to me.

Lisa is fantastic and very professional. She goes over and beyond for her patients and will go the extra mile for you to achieve results. She is a kind and empathetic person who understands what you need at each appointment. I have seen significant improvements after a few sessions.

My partner booked in to see Dr Nick Bassal for a psychology appointment. $250 later (or there abouts), the appointment lasted 20 min !!! A psych appointment, especially an intro. This is really unfair … and especially as it takes a lot of courage for someone to book in for therapy & to be met with a quick consult is very dismissive. We both feel ripped off.

I had an exceptional experience at the practice today. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere exuded calmness and warmth. The reception staff’s kindness set the tone, and my prompt greeting by Dr. Anne Chappel left a lasting impression.

Dr. Chappel demonstrated remarkable attentiveness, personability, professionalism, and empathy towards my health concerns-in particular chronic fatigue. Her extensive knowledge across all health areas was evident, and she is genuinely dedicated to not only resolving immediate issues but also delving into the root causes to ensure long-term optimal health.

I’m grateful for the outstanding care provided by Dr. Chappel and the entire team. This experience exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to continuing my journey to optimal health under her guidance.

Dr Chhabra is a master health practitioner! Her expertise and skills have improved my gut-related symptoms far more than my gastroenterologist and GP. She has a deep and integrated knowledge of how the body works, is not limited by the standard tests used in the field, and individualises her treatment to get the best results.
I’m so fortunate to have found Dr Chhabra and would highly recommend her to anyone with gut issues and/or complex health problems.

Kim is an amazing Naturopath. She has so much knowledge and is so kind hearted and caring.
I was bed ridden when I started seeing Kim. I am now up and about living a normal life again thanks to Kim.
I highly recommend seeing Kim for any health issues because she WILL be able to fix you.

I have been in and out of doctors and hospital for 3 years. No one knew was what was wrong with me, within 6 months of seeing Kim I finally have answers and on the road to healing. I am feeling amazing! Kim has drastically changed my life and I cannot recommend her enough <3

The best Doctor I have ever been too. His holistic approach and his caring nature is second to none. He actually listens and cares. He has helped me so much. Very supportive. 10/10

Ritoo has absolutely healed me and my gut issues. I was constantly sick every 2 weeks for the past couple of years and Ritoo fixed my problems in just 2 months! I couldn’t recommend more!

Kim was highly recommended by a friend of mine. I went to see her about my weight loss journey, which had been a long slow one. Kim recommended the metabolic balance diet - for the first time in many years, I have lost weight, Im full of energy and life just seems so much clearer. I have found Kim supportive and compassionate and always there to support me during this journey.

Highly recommond

When suffering perimenopausal symptoms including severe muscle soreness, bloating, lethargy & weight gain, I decided to visit a gyno who I had researched to be the top of her field with female hormone issues. Unfortunately I was told the only solution for me was to go on HRT (which I did not want to go on and told her as much), and to accept that I was at an age where weight gain was inevitable????? I tried the HRT for 6 months with zero benefit, so happily discontinued. I have also suffered for years with hypothyroidism, and several endocrinologists later still struggled with that as well. I was then referred by a friend to Kim, as she had exceptional health results through her.
After my initial consultation, which was extremely thorough, Kim confidently told me she could help. This was music to my ears, and though obviously a little sceptical after my previous experiences, I did everything Kim instructed. She is so passionate about helping you feel better, and I could not believe how fast I started to improve. Kim explained the importance of gut health, and also the fact that standard thyroid tests don't give the full picture. She also taught me about inflammation in my body, and how to manage it.
This review is overdue but I'm glad it is because over 12 months on and not only is my thyroid still in remission, but I have come out the other end with no more muscle pain, healthy weight loss and so much more energy. My review is backed up by friends, my son, and my sister who I also referred to Kim and all have achieved their health goals.
I highly recommend Kim for any health issues you are struggling with. She will find the root cause, not just medicate the symptoms!!

Have been suffering extreme chronic gut issues for the past 8 years. I had seen many specialists and did every blood test, stool test and scans available all showing nothing.

Dr Chabbra was able to quickly determine that my issues were due to past Mould exposure. Since starting treatment my symptoms have significantly improved! I really was starting to lose hope and thought I would never be well again.

I highly recommend Dr Chabbra for her knowledge and compassion. Thank you for everything so far!

We see Dr Chris at Evergreen for my son and I. Both long term chronic issues. I’m just six months we are both doing better. They really do get results. The staff are all incredibly helpful, you get quick answers and they are so organized. My journey with the clinic has inspired me to look further into functional medicine as a new career path. My experience as a patient has been so meaningful. I cannot recommend them more highly

Dr Ritoo Chhabra has changed the course of my health forever. The overall both preventative AND curative care I have received has been life changing. Dr C diagnosed a gut issue I had that had made me ill for 8 months. I had seen 3 GPs in this time and none had diagnosed my stomach virus. One visit with Dr C and the right treatment and I was completely well from this condition. She has also managed my severe diverticulosis for me resulting in me currently not needing hospitalisation for the condition in 20 months (not since I began seeing her). Gut health is at the root of all other health. I cannot recommend Sydney Functional Medicine more highly - an absolute must for anyone concerned about their health in any way, especially if you've seen other doctors and specialists and you still haven't reached the bottom of your health issues.

After 18 months of suffering with bad gut symptoms which stopped me doing a lot of things I wanted to do (even something basic such as leaving the house), I feel much better after seeing Dr Chhabra. She listened and understood my problem and offered practical and commonsense help. It has taken time but I feel so much better and am back doing the things I wanted to do.

Kim helped me to understand and alleviate the symptoms and causes of some chronic and severe GI issues very quickly and thoughtfully. Her practice is evidence based and considerate and I have recommended her to many family and friends. I have noticed a remarkable difference in my wellbeing, weight and overall health since consulting with Kim.

Dr Chhabra is focused on discovering and treating the cause of my illness, not simply treating the symptoms. I have and continue to make significant progress with her treatment.

Dr Chhabra is an outstanding practitioner. No other doctor has been able to help me. She was attentive and took my full history for my chronic medical condition. Thanks to Dr Chhabra - her care and attention to detail resolved my issues. She even sent me my results out of her work hours and spent extra long in consults with me. Thank you for all you’ve done to help me!

Highly recommend Angie for anyone that has been struggling to find answers for their skin issues. I became frustrated after seeing dermatologists and skin clinics with little to no improvement.
Angie treats the PERSON as a whole, with an empathetic and personalised treatment plan which adapts based on your skin’s condition. Since seeing her at the beginning of this year I’ve noticed HUGE improvements with my skin issues. Not only is she helping to heal my skin, but a session with her is like a big hug. I completely trust her with my skin and 12/10 would recommend her for anyone that isn’t getting answers or results elsewhere.
(PS saw the negative review here and it’s completely fake - anyone that has spent more than 2min with Angie would agree it’s total BS!)

I was a patient of Chhabra for 1 year for CIRS & MCAS. I did not experience any improvement and discovered towards the end she was not following the Shoemaker protocol and advising the incorrect binder to remove the mycotoxins from my body. Wasted a year of my recovery

I highly recommend Dr Robertson. He goes above and beyond and is also very caring. I can’t thank him enough!

Kim was very educational with our initial consultation. The practise was very welcoming down in mornington. I felt very comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Kim explained in detail alot of tell tale signs that I was insufficient in many areas of my body. She gave me clear suggestions on what foods and vitamins and supplements that I should be taking. I now have bone broth every morning and am starting to make the right choices with my nutrition intake. I'm looking forward to our next appointment once my hair test results come back so I can get back on track with my health and live a healthier lifestyle. Many thanks to Kim again and will be more than happy to recommend to anyone for natural remedies and naturopath consults 😀

I have had the best experience every single time I go here. It’s an incredible practice full of outstanding doctors
And therapists. They have helped me
Without fail every single time and I value and appreciate this so highly. It’s hard to
Find an excellent practice these days but this is definitely one of them.

Dr Bassal has been my primary practitioner for more than a decade. I went through several until he was recommended to me. I could not recommend him more. He is an effective, caring, genuine, humble and thorough healthcare professional with a fantastic sense of humour. A combination that is very rare in this industry. I am grateful that I found him as he has changed my life invaluably for the better.

Very happy I took my friends recommendation to come here. The Front desk staff were super lovely and jovial. There's water and tea available while you wait. And Doc Bassal is amazing! He Is super kind, understanding and explains everything down to the molecule! Lovely bright corner office with giant plants make it feel very welcoming! Highly recommend!

Right from first contact, everyone was professional and very warm. And I got to meet with Dr Nick quite quickly. A very easy process - with indications of an early positive health outcome. He is a great communicator, which makes for quick establishment of trust.

I went in this morning and was pleasantly surprised by how well I was looked after. I was nervous about seeing a new GP, but Dr Nick started by giving me the opportunity to say what I was looking for, and I felt thoroughly seen and heard in my requests. My opinions mattered, and Nick was very perceptive in picking up on my key areas of concern. I was given options, without any push to take them up unless I was ready, and I left feeling happier for having gone through this whole experience.

I found Kim online as I was interested in the Metabolic Balance program to regain energy after a near adrenal crash after years of juggling pregnancies, young children and work.

I spoke to a few practitioners before proceeding with Kim as I was able to get a really good feel from the free 10 min consult we had over the phone.

Kim has a remarkable way of looking holistically at the health of clients to regain and maintain health using scientific processes and a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of naturopathy.

I have felt safe and supported in my journey to regain my health with Kim and highly recommend her as a Naturopath and Metabolic Balance practitioner.

I have been seeing Dr Robertson since 2014. He is the only Dr that has listened to me since being diagnosed with my auto immune disease. He goes above and beyond to figure out root cause and is open to hear the point of view from the patient. Explains everything so well. Very, very knowledgeable and clearly does his research.

This was my first time seeing a holistic health practitioner and I gotta say: I’m already a convert! I felt well taken care of from the moment I walked in. My doctor, Rebecca Bau, listened intently and allowed me to feel heard and understood. I felt immediate relief from the acupuncture we did, and am also feeling positive about my new Chinese medicine regiment. I look forward to seeing how things progress in the weeks to come. Thank you, Dr. Bau!

I feel very uplifted and positive after my appointment with Steven. The new client form, completed prior to meeting Steven, was extremely comprehensive and included the opportunity to upload results from any previous treatment/results etc. It would have taken at least one face to face session to cover the information on the form so the fact that Steven had read it all before our meeting meant I'd just about had one session free. I found that very impressive. Steven checked that my goals ( as I saw them) were being covered whilst informing me of treatments and supplements that would work towards archiving those goals and talking about my health in a wider sense too. By asking a number of follow-up questions, Steven was able to mix a tincture to suit my personal requirements. He is very easy to talk to and I highly recommend him. I'm very excited to see the changes/improvements in my health over the course of my treatment.

I have been seeing Mark since 2015 when he was working at Wholistic Medical Centre in Surrey Hills. To put it shortly Mark saved my health to the point where life started to actually feel like a pleasurable experience. He is kind and compassionate, very knowledgeable and thorough. The testing he ordered for me actually managed to identify issues and weakness in my health, specifically my gut. That is a great thing to experience after hearing over and over again "your results are fine, we can't find anything wrong, here's a script for some SSRI's".

Yes Integrative Medicine fees are expensive but I have paid a lot of money over the years for various specialists and health practitioners, and I end up consistently coming back to Mark. He has repeatedly shown himself to be reliable, thorough and motivated when it comes to treating my complex health issues. He has proven his worth over and over again to me.

Dr Mark Robertson is the best ! He saved my life and I tell everyone about him. Robert Kirby

Kelli is such an amazing midwife. Words can't describe how appreciative my family and I are of her knowledge, professionalism and support.

Happy, positive, honest and dedicated is all I can say to sum up the staff and service I have received at SIHCM. The new dentist who practices there is a great new edition to this practice!

After seeking advice for years and running from specialist to specialist, I finally found the perfect combination of western and eastern/ alternative medicine. Homeopathy, naturopathy, herbal and with a medical background (MD). My better half loves the skin side of what SIHCM does too. For me, I finally found one person combining all these skills, helping me to find an answer to a lot of my problems by going to the root of the issue and healing me holistically.

Thank you SIHCM and thank you Dr.Chris. Regards, Nick

We never had a client by the name Jason Brown !!
This is to show that anyone can write anything for anybody without being cross check.This is the big weakness google.The above comment is totally false and never occurred .
It's sad and disturbing to see this at what extend people go .Ashame

I came here to do a fractal laser. Angela, the woman who did my consultation was so rude that I felt completely uncomfortable and unsafe during my visit. When you're lying there in a vulnerable position having lasers blast into your face, you'd like to know that you are being taken care of. I will never go here again and i urge everyone to reconsider their treatments here. After my treatment, my sister came to pick me up. Angela told my sister that her skin looks bad and probably needs Fraxel too. My sister was so offended. Angela then refused to give me a receipt for a product i bought, but reluctantly wrote me out one after I told her that I was entitled to have a receipt for a purchase. This woman is a little crazy. Becareful.

There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this place. The staff is extremely friendly and the services are great. The facilities are great, and we didn't feel rushed at all to get in and out again. After my massage I had a relaxing sauna, a cup of tea in the lounge and then a shower to refresh myself. Thank you to the staff and i may recommend your company to others.
