About
Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I’m a qualified Naturopathic Practitioner and owner of Prescribing Nature.
I studied Naturopathic Medicine at the Endeavour College of Natural Medicine, Melbourne Campus. I have been working in the natural health industry for 15 years and have knowledge of both scientific research-based medicine and traditional naturopathic principles. Naturopath and Homeopath Samuel R. Kennedy mentored me in both naturopathic medicine and Dark Field Microscopy. Samuel has 30 years of clinical experience in these specialties and runs a very successful natural health business on the Mornington Peninsula. I often see male and female patients of different ages for many different health conditions, but I specialise in Gut Health, Women's Health, Immune Health, and Functional Health Testing.

Consultations
What to Expect in an Initial Consultation
A one-on-one initial consultation involves taking a thorough case history, looking at presenting symptoms and health goals, past health issues, family history, and analysis of your lifestyle & daily diet. Depending on the patient and their needs, an initial consult may include Dark Field Microscopy, Blood Glucose Reading, Total Cholesterol Reading, or a Blood Pressure Reading. Further testing or investigations may be required in complex cases. After gathering all this information, I can put together a treatment plan tailored to your needs and your treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Naturopaths are trained to use only natural products, lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments to balance health issues. Naturopaths are trained in pathology testing and use minimal invasive treatment plans. Naturopaths are not to take the role of a medical doctor. I prefer working in conjunction with your Medical Doctor whenever possible.
Naturopathy is a complete system of health care based on six foundational principles.
The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): The human body possesses an innate ability to heal itself given the correct tools and environment to do so.
Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam): Naturopaths aims to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness instead of just treating symptoms.
First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere): Naturopaths always avoid harming the patient by utilizing the most natural, least invasive and least toxic remedies
Doctor as Teacher (Docere): Naturopaths educate their patients in the steps to achieve and maintain health. Self-responsibility for health is greatly encouraged.
Treat the Whole Person: Each person is assessed as a whole, and individual physical, emotional, mental, and environmental factors are considered.
Prevention: Naturopathic medicine focuses on overall health, wellness and disease prevention.
Yes. I always ensure any naturopathic remedies prescribed will have no interactions with medications you are currently taking.
Many supplements that are sold in pharmacies and health food stores are not the best quality. They are often very weak, poorly absorbed, contain nasty fillers, or are the wrong form of the nutrient. Supplements prescribed through our clinic are “Practitioner Only” meaning that they are the best quality available and are generally more absorbable and bioavailable. Prescribing Nature’s herbal and homeopathic remedies are not generic formulas but rather prepared and mixed according to the individual health requirements of the patient.
