What Is a Naturopath
A naturopath is a qualified natural health practitioner who takes a holistic approach to wellness looking at the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them. Naturopathy combines the wisdom of traditional medicine with modern science, using natural therapies to support the body’s innate ability to heal.
Our Approach
Our Naturopathic Approach – Personalised, Root-Cause Focused, and Results-Driven
At Your Natural Dispensary, our naturopathic consultations are centred around uncovering the why behind your symptoms—not just treating them at surface level. We take a holistic, investigative approach that combines evidence-based natural medicine with a deep understanding of how the body functions as an interconnected whole.
​
Your initial consult is a comprehensive session where we take the time to truly understand you—your health history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, environment, and symptoms. Where needed, we may recommend advanced functional testing to assess hormones, gut health, nutrient levels, or toxic load, giving us clear insight into what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Compounds
Why We Use Herbal Medicine & Pharmaceutical-Grade Nutritional Compounds
At Your Natural Dispensary, we believe in using the most effective, evidence-based tools to support your body’s natural ability to heal. That’s why our treatment plans combine traditional herbal medicine with pharmaceutical-grade nutritional compounds—providing a powerful and personalised approach to wellness.
​
Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to treat the root causes of illness not just the symptoms. Each plant contains a complex array of active compounds that work synergistically to support specific systems in the body, whether it's balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, improving digestion, or strengthening the immune system. Jelisha carefully selects or compounds herbal blends tailored to your individual symptoms and constitution for maximum effectiveness.
​
We pair this with pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements, which are high-quality, highly absorbable formulations that deliver therapeutic doses of key nutrients—far beyond what you might find in standard over-the-counter options. These are especially important when addressing nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stress, skin conditions, hormonal imbalances, or gut dysfunction.
​
Together, herbal and nutritional medicine allow us to:
-
Target the root cause of symptoms
-
Provide long-term support without harsh side effects
-
Deliver clinically effective results through tailored combinations
-
Support your body’s own ability to regulate, repair, and rebalance
Every formula we use is practitioner-only, backed by research, and compounded specifically for you—because your health deserves nothing less than personalised, potent, and purposeful care.
The Consult
What to Expect in Your Naturopathic Consultation
Your consultation with Jelisha is a deep dive into your health—designed to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalised roadmap to wellness.
​
In your initial consultation (typically 60–75 minutes), Jelisha will:
-
Take a comprehensive health history, including your current symptoms, medical background, lifestyle, diet, emotional wellbeing, and environmental factors
-
Explore key areas such as digestion, hormones, skin health, stress, energy, immunity, and sleep
-
Review any recent blood work or health reports (if available)
-
Recommend further functional testing (e.g. hormone testing, gut microbiome, nutrient panels) if deeper insight is needed
-
Begin tailoring your treatment plan using custom-compounded herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and diet/lifestyle strategies specific to your body’s needs
-
​
You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of what’s driving your symptoms, along with your first phase of treatment to begin supporting your body naturally.
What happens after your consult
Follow-Up Consultations – Stay Supported on Your Wellness Journey
Follow-up sessions are designed to keep your treatment plan on track as your body begins to shift and heal. In each consult, Jelisha will review your progress, adjust your herbal or nutritional prescriptions, interpret test results (if applicable), and refine your plan to suit your evolving needs.
​
These sessions ensure you’re supported every step of the way—whether you're working on hormonal balance, skin health, gut repair, or overall vitality. Healing takes time, and regular check-ins help us create sustainable, long-term results tailored to you.
Children's Naturopath Consults (6months to 12 years)
​
Gentle, Root-Cause Care for Growing Bodies
Jelisha offers specialised naturopathic care for children, taking a gentle, root-cause approach to support their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Her consultations are tailored to meet the unique needs of young bodies and minds, using safe, natural therapies that work with the child’s system—not against it.
​
With over 15 years of experience, Jelisha focuses on key areas of concern in children, including:
-
Gut issues (bloating, food sensitivities, constipation, tummy pain)
-
Recurrent infections & post-viral symptoms (including post-strep recovery)
-
Excess energy, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation
-
Poor concentration, memory, and learning difficulties
-
Behavioural concerns and sleep disturbances
During the consultation, Jelisha will explore your child’s health history, digestion, diet, mood, energy, and emotional wellbeing. She may recommend functional testing if needed, and will create a tailored plan using gentle herbal formulas, nutritional supplements, and diet/lifestyle support to strengthen and rebalance your child’s system.
​
Parents are fully supported through the process, with clear guidance and ongoing care to help their child thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.
