Beth Kavanagh Naturopathy
Providing Healthcare Using Naturopathic Principles of Prevention Being Better than Cure and Treating the Cause
About Me
Beth Kavanagh Naturopathy was started in 2017 when I completed my Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). Since then, I have been consulting with local clients at my home office but also with clients Australia-wide with the availability of online telehealth appointments and prescriptions. I treat each client as an individual and work with them to bring back into balance all the factors that can affect health and wellbeing.
About Beth Kavanagh Naturopathy
My extensive experience working in Western Medicine, and also the experience of family members and friends as patients, led me to become a naturopath. I provide personalised care to every individual who comes to me. I take the time to understand your unique needs and create a customized plan that suits your lifestyle and preferences. The aim is to provide the most effective treatment for your condition. My goal is always to enable my clients to manage their own health in the long term.
I love researching to put together the optimum treatment plan for each client and am constantly updating my knowledge and skills with continuing professional education. Using an evidence-based approach means I can work to safely complement any existing treatment and medication and give additional benefit. Be sure to follow my Facebook page for regular healthcare tips and updates on the latest research.

The Consultation
The first consultation for new clients is 1.5 hours to go through the entire health history and prioritize the health goals and aims. This case-taking appointment may include some physical examinations (even via telehealth). I then take time to put together the treatment plan which will include the steps designed to get you back to wellness and the expected timeframe. Putting together the treatment plan usually takes 1-2 weeks before we meet up again for an 0.5 hour consultation to go through the plan together and get started. I offer these first two appointments together (2 hours total) as a package.
The treatment plan will outline whether further appointments are recommended and how often. A referral may be submitted for pathology testing or a prescription for supplements obtained from myself, or online suppliers. Diet and lifestyle advice will be tailored in order to achieve goals in a manageable way.
Any appointments after the initial package are 45 minutes whether as part of the treatment plan or if a new treatment plan is required in future.
Consultations of 0.5 hours are available for acute conditions. For example, when the client feels a cold coming on, they can book an appointment and be provided with a natural medicine toolkit for their condition. These acute consultations are only available to existing clients who have completed the initial consultation package.
