Alex Rowan sees adults on Mostyn Street, and by video anywhere in Australia.
What would you like to talk about?
Most first appointments start with one of these. None comes with a promise of a result. Each starts with a long conversation and a plan you agree to.
No. 01
Bloating, reflux, irregular bowels, or reactions to food you can’t pin down.
Alex goes through what you eat and when, how you sleep, stress, your medicines and supplements, and any results you already have. If anything you describe needs a medical check first, Alex will say so and suggest you see your GP before going further.
No. 02
Waking at three in the morning, dragging through the afternoon, tired however long you sleep.
Alex asks about your days as well as your nights: work, meals, movement, caffeine, and what’s already been checked. Bring recent blood test results if you have them. If tiredness hasn’t been looked at by your GP, Alex may suggest that first.
No. 03
Painful or irregular periods, a cycle that’s changed, hot flushes, sleep that shifted in your forties.
Alex talks through food, sleep, stress, and any herbs or supplements you already take, and how they sit alongside the medicines or hormone therapy your doctor prescribes.
Naturopathy sits next to the rest of your care. Here’s how that works in practice.
Who you’ll see, what Alex studied, and what registration does and doesn’t mean here.
Alex sees adults, here and online. Most of an appointment is listening: what’s going on, what you’ve tried, what your doctor has said. Then a short written plan you can actually keep to.
Sixty minutes, in the front room or by video. $180.
Nell emails a secure intake form: your health history, medicines and supplements. Fill in what you can; the rest gets covered in the room.
What’s going on, in your own words. What you’ve tried, and what your GP has said.
Food, sleep, energy, stress, your cycle if it’s relevant, and everything you take.
A short written plan by email afterwards. Any herbs, supplements or tests come as suggestions with prices, and you decide.
Booked to review what you’ve changed, not on a fixed schedule.
How follow-ups are decided. Together, at the end of the first appointment, based on what’s in the plan. There’s no set number of visits and no package to sign up for. If things aren’t changing, the plan changes, or Alex suggests other help.
The same in the room or online. No booking fee.
60 minutes
$180
Your first visit, whatever it’s about.
40 minutes
$100
To review the plan and adjust it.
50 minutes
$130
When there’s more to go through, or it’s been a while.
Pay by card on the day, or by link after an online consult.
They’re separate from the consultation fee. If Alex suggests a herbal mix, a supplement or a test, you get the price before anything is made up, ordered or posted, and you can say no.
Health funds can cover naturopathy, but whether you can claim depends on your policy, so check with your fund before you book. You’ll get an itemised receipt to claim with.
Medicare doesn’t cover naturopathy, and NDIS plans don’t fund it.

It’s 60 minutes. You fill in a secure intake form beforehand, then talk through what’s going on, your history, food, sleep, medicines and supplements. Alex doesn’t do physical examinations; anything that needs examining goes to your GP. You get a short written plan by email afterwards, and decide together whether a follow-up is useful.
$180 for the first consultation, with no booking fee. That’s all, unless you choose to buy something: herbs, supplements, tests and postage are quoted separately before they’re added, and you can say no.
Possibly, through private health insurance. Naturopathy can be covered by health funds, but it depends on your policy, so ask your fund before you book, including whether it covers online consults. Medicare doesn’t cover naturopathy, and the NDIS doesn’t fund it.
Yes, from anywhere in Australia. You need a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera, and somewhere private. The link comes by email, and times are in Victorian time. If something needs to be seen in person, Alex will say so.
Yes. Alex never asks anyone to stop or change a prescribed medicine. Bring a list of everything you take, including supplements, so anything Alex suggests can be checked against it. Questions about your medicines go to your prescriber.
Bring recent results and letters if you have them; you can upload them securely with the intake form. Alex suggests a new test only when there’s a clear reason, tells you what it costs and what it can’t show, and leaves the choice to you.
There’s no set number. After the first appointment you agree on what to try and when it’s worth reviewing. If things aren’t changing, the plan changes, or Alex suggests other help.
Call or email Nell at least a day ahead to move or cancel. Questions between visits can go by email and are answered in opening hours, Tuesday to Friday. This isn’t an urgent-care service: in an emergency, call 000.
No. Alex sees adults, 18 and over.
