    Question Fertility Naturopath in Brisbane

    Hi,

    I've had a quick look around the forum but I'm unsure if I'm re-posting... apologies if I am

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a fertility naturopath in the Brisbane area?

    I have been pointed in the direction of Sharkey's on the Gold Coast, but too be honest it's a little more expensive then I would like.

    Any suggestions would be gratefully received!!

    I saw Heather Bruce at Easy Babies (Hawthorne/Bulimba) for accupuncture with my last pregnancy. She's also a naturopath and chinese herballist. Very highly qualified and experienced in all areas.

    She specialises in fertility, not just pregnancy, and also women's health issues.

    She was a gem and helped me no end with reflux issues, gestational diabetes and general health. I'm hoping to see her again in the next month or so, though I haven't enquired as to her availability - I know she's pretty hard to get hold of.

    HTH.

    Oh well...

    Hi Elocin,

    If you have no luck - you can always contact ANTA (Australian Natural Therapists Association) and they should be able to provide you with contact details for registered naturopaths who specialise in reproductive health/fertility issues.

    Best of luck.

    Oh no ... looks like I'll be on the lookout for a good accupuncturist/naturopath myself then. Our loss, Heather was terrific!
    Thanks for the heads up, Elocin ... let us know how you get on.

    Hi Nic,

    Just as an FYI, I emailed Heather to see what "the go" was re: whether or not she was still practising in Bris, and guess what - she is . I had my first session this afternoon and I already feel better (been suffering lots of head colds, coughs etc thanks to toddler son!). Heather is still fly-in, fly-out of NZ, but she's definitely at Hawthorne on some days of the week.

    I swear, the woman is pure gold!! She gives you a hug at the end of each session, which kinda sums up her philosophy on life.

    You had any luck finding someone?

    Hi Andie,

    Thanks for letting me know. I think I'm going to use East West Fertility Clinic in Ashgrove... they look really good and are quite resonable priced.

    Thanks for getting back to me - it's handy to know she's still practising
