Expert Naturopathic Care, Anywhere in Australia.

Bridging Melbourne's clinical expertise and your home. Specialised gut and hormone support via seamless telehealth — available to anyone in Australia.

What We Offer

Emba Wellness is a fully online naturopathic clinic. That's not a compromise — it's intentional. Every consultation happens via video, which means you get access to the same level of evidence-based, root-cause care whether you're in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, or a regional town that's never had a naturopath within driving distance

Our Process

Pre Consultation Health Check

Before we meet, you'll complete a comprehensive digital intake form covering your full health history.

Telehealth Video Consultation

We meet via a secure, encrypted Telehealth platform (Cliniko) — no complex software downloads required.

Functional Testing & Pathology

We use Australia's leading functional pathology labs to build a precise map of your biology.

Personalised Treatment Plan

Within 24 hours of your consultation you'll receive a detailed written treatment summary.

Step 1: Your Pre-Consultation Health Audit

Before we meet, you'll complete a comprehensive digital intake form covering your full health history, current symptoms, medications and supplements, diet, sleep, stress levels, and your goals. It means we hit the ground running from minute one — no time wasted covering the basics.

Step 2: Your Video Consultation

We meet via a secure, encrypted telehealth platform — no complex software downloads required. You'll receive a unique link via email 24 hours before your session. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera. Initial consultations run 60–75 minutes. Returns run 40–50 minutes. The session covers detailed case history, functional medicine interpretation of any existing results, and a clear clinical plan before we finish.

Step 3: Precision Functional Testing & Pathology

Distance is no barrier to data-driven health. We use Australia's leading functional pathology labs to build a precise map of your biology from the comfort of your home.

Comprehensive Microbiome Analysis

Advanced stool testing — using Microba microbiome testing — identifies dysbiosis, pathogens, bacterial overgrowth, and markers of intestinal permeability and inflammation. Test kits are shipped directly to your home; you collect the sample and post it back to the lab.

SIBO Breath Testing

For chronic bloating and digestive complaints, we coordinate Lactulose, Fructose and/or Glucose breath tests delivered to your door. Results are integrated directly into your digital treatment plan.

Hormonal & Metabolic Profiling

From DUTCH testing for complex hormonal pictures to comprehensive nutritional blood panels — iron studies, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, fasting insulin, homocysteine, hsCRP, thyroid antibodies — we use evidence-based markers to understand what's actually driving your symptoms.

How Testing Works Regionally

We partner with national functional pathology providers including NutriPATH and IScreen. Whether you're in a capital city or regional Australia, you either take your referral to your nearest collection centre, or complete your kit at home and post it back. Results are sent securely to the clinic for review, and I walk you through every finding in your follow-up consultation.

Step 4: Your Treatment Plan, Delivered

Within 24 hours of your consultation you'll receive a detailed written treatment summary — your goals, your clinical findings, and your prescriptions all in one document. Herbal tinctures and practitioner-grade supplements are dispensed through our clinical dispensaries and sent via standard and Express Post, Australia-wide.

This Is For You If...

  • You've been told your bloods are normal but still feel terrible

  • You've seen multiple GPs or specialists and still don't have real answers

  • You live in a regional or rural area without access to specialist naturopathic care locally

  • You're time-poor and commuting to a clinic adds stress you don't need

  • You want evidence-based, root-cause medicine — not a one-size-fits-all wellness protocol

Frequently asked questions

  • Once your consultation is complete and your treatment plan is finalised, your prescriptions are dispensed via our clinical dispensary partners. We use Standard and Express Post to deliver your customised herbal tinctures and practitioner-grade nutrients directly to your door, anywhere in Australia

  • As of 1 July 2025, Australian legislative changes have re-introduced naturopathy as eligible for private health insurance rebates under the federal government's updated Private Health Insurance rules.

    Coverage depends on your specific fund and level of extras cover, as individual health funds are responsible for deciding whether to include naturopathy and at what benefit level.

    We provide a full digital receipt with our provider details so you can claim directly through your insurer.

    I'm a current NHAA member (#158400) — NHAA membership is the primary credential health funds are using to establish practitioner eligibility.

    Check directly with your fund for your specific entitlements.

  • We use a national network of functional pathology partners including NutriPATH and IScreen. Depending on the testing required, we either email you a referral to take to your nearest local collection centre, or ship a specialised test kit — such as a SIBO breath test or Microba stool analysis — directly to your home. You complete the kit and post it back to the lab.

    Results are then sent securely to the clinic and reviewed with you in your follow-up consultation. Learn more about our functional testing services.

  • All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera — smartphone, tablet, or computer all work. We use a secure, encrypted telehealth platform (Cliniko) with no complex software downloads required.

    You'll receive a unique link via email 24 hours before your session.

  • For the vast majority of what I do — yes.

    By using comprehensive digital intake forms and functional pathology, we can gather deep clinical insights regardless of your location.

    Telehealth allows us to spend more time on your health history and data analysis, and research consistently shows comparable outcomes to in-person care for chronic condition management.

    The one thing Telehealth can't replicate is physical examination — if I ever feel your case requires hands-on assessment, I'll be upfront and refer you where needed.

  • Yes — and I actively encourage it.

    I can provide a consultation summary for your GP so they're across your naturopathic treatment plan. For pathology ordered through private labs, I can coordinate so results reach both of us. Integrative, collaborative care is always the goal.

  • No. Emba Wellness is a fully online clinic and sees clients from across Australia. We're based in Melbourne but work with people from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, regional Victoria, and everywhere in between. Location is not a barrier.

What Clients Say.

“Jess has been incredible to work with. In just a couple of months, I've experienced significant improvements with my histamine and sleep issues - both of which I've been trying to control for years now.

Because Jess focuses on identifying root causes rather than just treating symptoms, she’s helped improve areas of my health that I didn’t realise were connected.

Jess listens, understands, and provides explanations that are understandable to me and that I can apply to my day-to-day life. Would absolutely recommend Jess to my loved ones.” - Client, Victoria

Ready to Get Started?

Your first step is an initial consultation — 60 to 75 minutes where we go deep on your health history, your goals, and what's actually been going on. You'll leave with a clear plan, not just a list of supplements.

Emba Wellness is available to clients across Australia. Online. Evidence-based. Root-cause focused.
