Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centred approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of illness. Rather than just treating symptoms, it looks at how genetics, lifestyle, and environment interact to influence health. This approach blends the best of conventional medicine with nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and natural therapies to support long-term wellness. 

We support a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including but not limited to: 

• Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, reflux, SIBO) 

• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, perimenopause/menopause, adrenal health) 

• Metabolic dysfunction (weight concerns, insulin resistance, PCOS) 

• Fatigue, brain fog, and burnout 

• Neuro Developmental (ADHD, ASD) 

• Autoimmune conditions 

• Skin concerns (eczema, acne, inflammation) 

• Mood and cognitive concerns (anxiety, depression, low resilience) 

• Preventive and longevity-focused care 

• Recovery and rehabilitation after cancer treatment 

Description text goes hereNo referral is necessary. You can book directly with our clinic without needing a GP or specialist referral. However, we are happy to work in collaboration with your existing healthcare providers as part of your broader care team. 

Yes, we offer both in-person consultations at our clinic and virtual (telehealth) appointments via a secure video platform. This ensures flexibility and continuity of care, especially for clients living interstate or in rural areas. The same level of care and clinical insight is provided regardless of the consultation format. 

Our clinic is located at Suite 3/77 Woodward Street Edge Hill (Upstairs from Cairns Eye Surgery). Parking is available directly in front of the building, we are easily accessible. Detailed directions and parking tips are included in your appointment confirmation email.

Locker is located under the stairs of our clinic entrance – 77 Woodward St, Edgehill.  You will receive an email or SMS with payment details.

You may email the clinic with any questions or updates. Relevant information will be noted in your file for discussion at your next appointment. Any required orders or actions will be managed by our team on your practitioner’s behalf. 

We appreciate your understanding as we support both patient care and practitioner sustainability. 

Our clinic is open by appointment only – we have virtual reception and admin services for managing emails and enquiries. We are not available on phone – please email all enquiries, documents and orders. Our team aims to be as efficient as possible. We have structured this format to keep your visits affordable and contact efficient.  

We believe that health is not just the absence of disease, but the presence of vitality, balance, and resilience. Our philosophy is grounded in science and guided by nature — integrating functional medicine, nutritional biochemistry, and lifestyle medicine to support the body’s innate ability to heal. We take a whole-person approach, recognising that physical, emotional, genetic, and environmental factors all contribute to health outcomes. 

Yes, where clinically appropriate, we recommend practitioner-grade nutritional or herbal supplements as part of your care plan. These are selected based on clinical evidence, pathology findings, and individual needs. While we do not prescribe pharmaceutical medications, we collaborate with prescribing practitioners when needed and always take your current medications into account to ensure safety and compatibility. 

Our approach is evidence-informed and personalised. We use the latest research in functional medicine, systems biology, and clinical nutrition, alongside nature-based interventions such as herbal medicine, food therapy, and lifestyle strategies. This allows us to treat underlying drivers of dysfunction while supporting your body’s natural regulatory systems. 

Yes. Collaboration is an important part of our approach. With your consent, we are happy to communicate with your GP, specialist, or other healthcare providers to ensure integrated and coordinated care. This is particularly valuable for clients with complex or chronic conditions. 

Our practitioners are formally trained in complementary and functional medicine, nutritional science, and evidence-based practice. All recommendations are guided by current clinical research, laboratory data, and established clinical frameworks. We regularly review and update our protocols to reflect advancements in integrative and preventive health care. 

Yes. Nutrition is a core component of functional medicine, and we provide personalised dietary guidance based on your health goals, medical history, and any relevant testing. Rather than generic meal plans, we focus on creating sustainable nutrition strategies that are tailored to your needs. In some cases, structured meal frameworks or sample plans may be provided to support specific protocols. 

Yes. We take a compassionate and evidence-informed approach to body composition, metabolic health, and eating behaviours. Our clinic supports clients with weight concerns, emotional eating patterns, and recovery from restrictive eating histories. We focus on restoring metabolic balance, repairing your relationship with food, and building sustainable lifestyle foundations, never quick fixes or restrictive protocols. 

Yes. We offer dedicated life coaching sessions and integrate mindset work into many of our care pathways. Life coaching is particularly valuable for clients navigating change, personal growth, stress, or transition phases. Our coaching programs are designed to support clarity, confidence, and aligned action across health, lifestyle, and purpose-driven living. 

Behaviour change and mindset are essential to long-term health outcomes. We recognise that knowledge alone isn’t enough, successful health transformation requires support with habits, identity shifts, motivation, and emotional resilience. Our programs are designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of change, empowering you to take consistent, meaningful steps toward your goals.
