Examples of health concerns we treat.
Our highly knowledgeable Brisbane practitioners treated these patients’ health issues using natural treatments through our Shift membership program…
Sally has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) that was making her periods go haywire. She kept getting bloated and her bowel movements were all over the place. Her GP ran tests and offered for her to go on the pill, but she tried that and it made her anxiety much worse. She came to our Brisbane naturopath clinic because she wanted her energy back, especially in the afternoon. She was looking for a safe space where she could be heard, and listened to.
John has rheumatoid arthritis and is in quite a bit of pain. He also has eczema that was worsening and hay fever that was driving him crazy. His health needs meant that he couldn’t fall asleep at night, or stay asleep, and his mind is really busy all the time. He came to our natural health clinic to see how we could support his sleep and skin concerns. He genuinely wanted to improve his quality of life and started his membership journey with us to put his health concerns first.
Jodie has a heap of random* symptoms going on but her doctors don’t know why. She was experiencing palpitations, hot flushes, bowel changes, bouts of depression and mood swings – all of these have happened since she got COVID last year and she seemed to be getting worse. She felt like her doctors don’t take her seriously and she doesn’t know what to do to get better. So she came to our natural health clinic and we took a holistic approach to explore her health problems and organised extensive pathology testing of her immune system.
*Hint: none of this is random, and we will show you how connected it is.
Of the more than 15,000 humans that we have helped to make their shift, each one had a complex set of symptoms that were unique to them and their life. Our memberships are designed to find the root cause of your health issue, and then methodically help your body to heal over time.

Meet our founder (and head naturopath) Katherine Maslen
The traditional model of care vs health ‘care’.
Most Brisbane naturopaths use a pretty old-school model of naturopathic care. They see you, prescribe you treatment and then decide when to see you next. This is how we used to do things at The Shift Clinic Brisbane, and the results were OK. It is a common misconception that this approach can fix multi-faceted health conditions.
What we observed was some people in this traditional healthcare model got the result they were after, but many people did not. What we know now is that there are common life factors that interfere with healing. At the Shift Clinic Brisbane, we address these factors using modern science and a natural approach to find the underlying cause of your health concerns. Using nutritional supplements and real food, every qualified naturopath in our team can help improve your health and wellbeing with a long-term focus.
Reasons why you can't heal, until now.
1#
Be comfortable in the knowledge that most health journeys are at least 4-6 months. Yet many people try a few things here and there for a couple of weeks and don’t get results. You need to be patient.
2#
Guess what? Most of your ‘random’ symptoms can be explained in context to one another. Let us show you how your whole body needs to heal.
3#
We coordinate your healing journey using the right herbs, nutrients, emotional wellness sessions and on-table treatments to shift things the right way.
4#
By combining therapies along your journey, you get the benefit of multi-system healing and the side benefit of one area core focus positively impacting another. Imagine being able to work through trauma and change your stress response - and the deeper impact this has on your whole body healing.

FAQs.
Is homeopathy the same as naturopathy?
Both homeopathy and naturopathy believe in preventative care, but the stem of their philosophies are in different foundations. Homeopathy is solely focused on the use of remedies and is often used in naturopathy. Naturopathic medicine however uses a wide range of natural healing modalities to improve a person’s health. Think of it as “tools in the toolbox” – as well as botanicals, nutritional therapy and lifestyle counselling, homeopathy is just one of these tools.
At your first appointment, you will get an initial prescription which will show you what you need to take and what dietary changes you need to make right now.
Is naturopathy covered by health insurance?
Currently in Australia naturopathy is not covered by health insurance. We are hoping this will change over time so please keep checking back with us.
You can have your initial appointment without becoming a member of the clinic, this is still highly valuable and you’ll get some key insights to make some initial shifts.
Does naturopathy work for anxiety?
Yes, using a naturopathic approach – a holistic look at your health – can help improve your feelings of anxiety. We offer a number of other services as part of our memberships – including acupuncture, Tui Na massage and emotional wellness (including hypnotherapy, holographic kinetics and kinesiology).
You will often find that when you see one of our emotional wellness experts as well as seeing your naturopath, the diet and lifestyle changes you are making become so much easier without the emotional trauma, triggers and baggage you have been carrying.
Is naturopathy good for weight loss?
Yes, naturopathy is a valuable part of a weight loss plan because it helps to address the underlying issues that can contribute to weight gain – like thyroid disease, insulin resistance, inflammation and hormonal imbalance. Our naturopaths can also give you a diet that is right for you and help to motivate and inspire you to live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not a magic solution though, weight loss takes an integrated approach with you in the centre.
You will often find that when you see one of our emotional wellness experts (including hypnotherapy, holographic kinetics and kinesiology) as well as seeing your naturopath, the diet and nutritional changes you are making become so much easier without the emotional trauma, triggers and baggage you have been carrying.
People who do our 8-week specific Shift Weight Loss Program combining naturopathy and hypnotherapy often have amazing, life-lasting results.
How much does it cost to see a naturopath?
An initial appointment, our Discovery and Diagnosis session, with a The Shift Clinic Brisbane naturopath, is $275 and is 90-minutes long. In the appointment, you’ll gain insights into your current state of health, which key areas you need to work on and what you need to do to begin your shift.

How much are naturopathy memberships?
The Shift Clinic Brisbane offers the only membership-based natural health service in Australia. Yes, you will be part of something special!
Naturopathy memberships are tailored to what you need but can start from as little as $89 per week in the acute phase of your treatment, and be as little as $29 per week once your condition is stabilised. After your initial assessment and diagnostic session, your naturopath will map out your wellness journey and discuss your options as well as the costs involved.
You can have your initial appointment without becoming a member of the clinic, this is still highly valuable and you’ll get some key insights to make some initial shifts.
We also work collaboratively so you’ll get the insight of the minds of three naturopaths rather than one. Founding naturopath Katherine Maslen will have input on all complex cases as well.
What do I need to bring to the initial appointment?
Please bring any blood tests or other testing to your Discovery and Diagnosis session. Or, better still, please scan and email them to us beforehand so your naturopath can use these in your assessment. You can obtain these by calling your doctor’s office (or allied health practitioner) and requesting copies via email.
Can I book a Discovery and Diagnosis initial appointment as a standalone appointment?
Yes of course. The initial consultation, our Discovery and Diagnosis session, will provide you with a great amount of value and insight on its own. Our clients report feeling more at ease and informed about their health when they leave. You’ll get advice to begin to shift your health, which will help you whether you decide to continue the journey and become a Shift clinic member or not.
We frequently see children and adolescents for health conditions like eczema, acne, asthma, digestive issues and stress and fatigue.
Will natural treatments interfere with my medications?
Our naturopaths are all highly qualified and have training in pharmacology. We are hyper-aware of any herb-drug or nutrient-drug interactions that may occur and will only prescribe you natural medicines which complement your allopathic treatment, not hinder it.
How do I choose which practitioner to see?
We have four excellent naturopaths that are experienced in a wide range of conditions. When you call us on 07 3367 0337 we will ask you what you need help with specifically so we can match you with the naturopath who can help you the most. You can also read more about our practitioner’s backgrounds here.

Do you offer virtual/online appointments?
Yes! Our naturopaths see lots of patients virtually, in particular from regional and remote areas like Rockhampton, Gladstone, Roma and Mt Isa. We currently have patients in Bangladesh, New York, Cambodia and Vanuatu.
Virtual appointments are done via video chat (no accounts or software needed) or over the phone. Medicines can then be shipped to you. Give us a call on 07 3367 0337 to discuss booking a virtual appointment.
Can my child see a naturopath?
Kids respond incredibly well to naturopathy. All of our naturopaths are trained in treating children with naturopathy, as well as mothers themselves, so they know the unique challenges that kids are faced with when it comes to their health.
We frequently see children and adolescents for health conditions like eczema, acne, asthma, digestive issues and stress and fatigue. Give our team a call on 07 3367 0337 to discuss booking an appointment for your child.
Do kids need a membership to see a Shift Clinic Brisbane naturopath?
Children and adolescents are not required to have a membership to see any practitioner at The Shift Clinic Brisbane, including our naturopaths. This is because they often respond very quickly, don’t need as many appointments and their care is often less intensive than the care of adults.
What will my naturopath prescribe me?
Once we have all of the information that we need from you, our naturopaths will prescribe you a specific treatment protocol to help your body to heal. We use high-quality practitioner strength brands that pass our stringent quality assurance tests.
We have over 150 liquid herbal medicines and 300 supplements in the clinic, so we can use the exact thing that is needed for your current condition.
