Our approach

We don't guess. We test, then we treat.

Symptoms are signals, not diagnoses. Our work begins with an unhurried case history — your timeline, your cycle, your stressors, your past results — and only then do we investigate with targeted functional testing. Everything we prescribe is chosen because the evidence and your data both point to it.

Functional testing we use

Panel 01

DUTCH Complete hormone profile

Dried urine testing that maps oestrogen, progesterone, androgens, cortisol rhythm and detoxification pathways across a full day.

Panel 02

Comprehensive thyroid panel

TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3 and antibodies, read alongside iron studies, zinc, selenium and vitamin D.

Panel 03

Microbiome & digestive mapping

Stool PCR and breath testing for microbial balance, SIBO, digestive enzymes, inflammation and intestinal permeability.

Panel 04

Preconception & nutrient status

Iron, B12, folate, homocysteine, HbA1c and fatty acid status for both partners before trying to conceive.

Kits are posted to your home, or you collect a sample at a local pathology centre. Results are interpreted together on screen, and you keep a written copy of every finding.

What care looks like, end to end

1

Initial Consultation

A 60-minute online consultation covering your full history — symptoms, gut, hormone and fertility health, diet, lifestyle and what you're hoping to change. We don't guess, we investigate: reviewing anything you've already had done, and recommending the functional testing that's actually relevant to you. You'll leave with a clear path forward.

2

Your Protocol

A written plan built from your results, the evidence and your goals — exactly what we're doing and why, not just a list of instructions. Clinical-grade herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes, with guidance through every step.

3

Review & Respond

Reviews every 2–8 weeks, depending on your case, to track what's changed, re-test where it's useful, and adjust your protocol as your body responds. Steady progress toward the goals you came in with.

Where testing changed the answer

"Before working with you, I was honestly starting to lose hope that my skin would ever clear. Seeing these changes has meant so much to me, and I'm so grateful for your help. I also don't have period pain anymore, which is another huge change for me. I'm able to tolerate a wider variety of foods than I could before"
SARAH L, MELBOURNEENDOMETRIOSIS & SKIN
"I found Botanic Ave when I was struggling with an array of health issues. The very first consult left me feeling more validated and empowered then any doctors office ever had. I couldn't recommend this clinic enough - and will always tell anyone who needs guidance with their health that this is the number one stop for healing."
LAURA H, ADELAIDEENDOMETRIOSIS & GUT HEALTH
"Coming to you with great news - I'm pregnant!! Still early days, but wanted to let you know because I'm so sure your help over the last 12 months has contributed. Never did I think with my history of Endo and PCOS that we would get pregnant on the first month of trying, but here we are"
