Natural Therapies for Whole-Body Wellness

Madelaine Akras is a qualified naturopath and natural therapist based in Box Hill, Melbourne. Discover a personalised, holistic approach to your health that treats the whole person — not just the symptoms.

Conditions We Treat

We provide natural support for a wide range of health conditions, addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms.

Fertility Support

Fertility Support

Fertility challenges can be physically and emotionally draining. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or undergoing assisted reproductive treatments like IVF, a holistic approach can significantly improve your chances by addressing underlying imbalances.

Insomnia & Sleep Disorders

Insomnia & Sleep Disorders

Quality sleep is fundamental to health and wellbeing. Chronic insomnia and sleep disorders can affect every aspect of your life — from energy and mood to immune function and cognitive performance. Understanding the root cause is the first step to restoring healthy sleep patterns.

Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal Imbalance

Many women believe that pain and mood swings during their monthly cycle are just a normal part of life, and resort to taking birth control pills to ‘regulate their cycles.’ It doesn’t have to be this way. Your menstrual cycle can come and go smoothly without any discomfort. The pill doesn’t truly regulate your cycle and can even lead to gut problems, nutritional deficiencies, skin issues and even anovulatory cycles. Hormonal imbalances are a common issue that can cause a range of symptoms, from painful periods and mood swings to acne and fatigue. We take a holistic approach to women’s health and work with you to identify the root cause of your symptoms, to help regulate your hormones and ease your menstrual cycle.

Thyroid Conditions

Thyroid Conditions

Are you experiencing constant tiredness, brain fog and joint pain? These symptoms can be caused by a thyroid imbalance. A thyroid imbalance occurs when there are too few or too many hormones produced by the thyroid gland. The most common way to test is by checking your level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). However, just testing for TSH levels is not enough to determine if your thyroid is healthy. To get a complete picture of your thyroid health, you need comprehensive thyroid panel testing — TSH, T3, T4, Reverse T3, and anti-thyroid antibodies. These tests can reveal if your TSH levels are responding appropriately to your thyroid hormone levels, and if your body is converting T4 to the active T3 hormone.
