Online consultations
Online naturopath consultations, wherever you are in Australia
As an online naturopath, I see women right across Australia by Zoom, so you can work with me from home, wherever you live.
I'm Jo Gibson, based in Greenslopes on Brisbane's southside, and my clinic has been fully online since the start of Covid in 2020.
I look at your gut health, hormonal health, skin health and mindset together, and you can read more about me and how I work.
You can book with me directly, with no referral needed, and if you already see a GP or specialist, let them know we're working together.
How online consults work
Seeing a naturopath online follows a simple pattern, and every step happens by Zoom:
- Book a timeChoose a time that suits you on my fees and booking page, which also lists the current fees.
- Your first consult, 60 minutesI take a full health history, asking about each of your body's systems, from digestion and thyroid to your nervous system, along with your family history, your current health, your diet and your goals.
- Your results consult, 45 minutesIf we've used any testing, we go through your results together and shape your plan around them.
- Your follow-ups, 30 minutesShorter check-ins let us see how you're going and fine-tune your plan.
Every body responds in its own way, so your plan is built around you and reviewed as we go.
What we can work on together online
My 4-pillar approach looks at your gut, hormones, skin and mindset together, because they're closely connected.
Women see me online for:
- Gut health, including bloating, digestive comfort, IBS and SIBO
- Hormonal health, including period health, PCOS, thyroid health, perimenopause, menopause and preparing for pregnancy
- Skin health, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, perioral dermatitis and rosacea
- Stress, mood and sleep, and how they affect the rest of your health
Your plan may include diet and lifestyle changes and, where it suits you, natural medicines, all explained clearly.
Getting ready for your Zoom consult
A little preparation helps us make the most of our time together:
- A quiet, private spot where you can talk freely
- A steady internet connection, with Zoom ready on your laptop, tablet or phone
- Any recent pathology, such as blood tests or stool tests
- Details of any diagnoses you've had
- A list of any medication and supplements you take
- A few notes on your health goals, and any questions you have
If you take prescribed medication, keep taking it as directed and bring the details to your first consult, so your plan fits around it.
Testing when you see me online
Testing is optional, and we decide on it together.
Where it could be useful, I may suggest functional pathology such as blood tests, comprehensive stool testing, microbiome mapping or the DUTCH hormone test, which you collect at home.
I'll explain what each test looks at, and what it involves, before you decide.
Online since 2020
I moved my clinic fully online at the start of Covid, and consulting by Zoom is now a well-oiled machine.
You skip the travel and the waiting room, and join me from your own couch, cuppa in hand.
It also means I can work with you wherever you are, from Brisbane to Perth to a country town.
