Naturopathy
Natural, evidence-informed health care — complementing your chiropractic treatment and supporting your whole-body wellness.
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that uses natural therapies to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. At Yeronga Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, our experienced naturopath works alongside our chiropractic team to provide truly integrated, whole-person care.
Our naturopath, Melissa Le Breton (BHSc Naturopathy), takes the time to understand your unique health history, lifestyle, and goals — developing a personalised plan that addresses root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

Why See a Naturopath at Yeronga Chiropractic & Wellness Centre?
Not all naturopathy clinics are the same. Here’s what makes our approach different — and why patients across Brisbane’s inner south choose us for their natural health care.
Qualified & Accredited
Our naturopath Melissa Le Breton holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS). You’re in safe, qualified hands.
Integrated with Chiropractic
Melissa works side-by-side with our chiropractic team. This means your physical and nutritional health are treated together — not in isolation — for better, longer-lasting results.
Root Cause Focus
We don’t just manage symptoms. Melissa takes a thorough case history to understand why you’re unwell, then builds a personalised plan that addresses the underlying drivers of your health issues.
Private Health Rebates
Many Australian private health funds offer rebates for naturopathy under their extras cover. We can confirm your entitlements at reception before your first consultation.
Whole-Family Care
From children to seniors, we provide naturopathic care for every stage of life. Whether it’s a toddler with digestive issues or a perimenopausal adult — Melissa has the expertise to help.
No Wait Lists
Same-week and next-week appointments are typically available. Call or use our online booking — new naturopathy patients are always welcome, no referral required.
When is the Right Time to See a Naturopath?
Herbal Medicine
The holistic effect of herbs works on a physical and energetic level to restore health. They can be used as teas, in fluid extract or taken as a tablet for acute or chronic illnesses.
Nutritional Medicine
Hippocrates said “Let your food be your medicines, and your medicines your food”. Daily nutrition may need to be adjusted to meet the basic biochemical requirements to maintain health. Nutrition from whole foods and superfoods can be used to strengthen and nourish the body. Sometimes supplements are needed to be prescribed when the body is out of balance.
Mind Body Medicine & Lifestyle Advice
This is an important area of health that is often neglected. It includes learning about relaxation, reducing stress and the mental patterning that creates our illnesses in the first place. Dealing with our stressors through visualisation, meditation, affirmations and exercise can create a calmer person and a more positive outlook on life.
Women's Health
Hormonal balance, menstrual health, perimenopause, and fertility support using natural therapies.
Digestive Wellness
Gut microbiome support, food intolerance identification, and digestive condition management.

Naturopathy FAQs
Common questions about naturopathy at Yeronga Chiropractic & Wellness Centre.
What is naturopathy and how does it work?
What's the difference between a naturopath and a nutritionist?
Do I need a referral to see a naturopath?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Melissa by calling (07) 3892 1440 or using our online booking form. New patients are always welcome.
Can naturopathy work alongside my chiropractic care?
Absolutely — in fact, that’s one of our key advantages. Because our naturopath and chiropractors work in the same clinic, they can coordinate your care for genuinely integrated results. For example, if your chiropractor is treating your lower back pain, Melissa may support inflammation reduction and muscle recovery through nutritional and herbal protocols.
Is naturopathy covered by private health insurance?
How long does a naturopathy consultation take?
An initial naturopathy consultation typically takes 60 minutes. This allows Melissa to take a thorough health history, understand your goals, and develop a personalised plan. Follow-up consultations are generally 30–45 minutes.
Are the herbal and nutritional supplements safe?
Yes. Melissa prescribes only practitioner-grade supplements from reputable Australian suppliers. All recommendations are based on your individual health history and are adjusted to avoid interactions with any medications you may be taking. Your safety is always the priority.
