Nepean Naturopathic Centre

As a client of Ross McLaren for 16 years, I'm continually amazed and no longer surprised how Ross and his magic Vegatest machine finds the source of my problem is and prescribes the cure that works each time. I don't need to visit a doctor - at 84 years.

I have PCOS, I’m in my late 30’s, no kids yet and I only started taking iron tablets in the last two years. I’m generally fit, running and weights about 3 times a week and usually eat Paleo/organic/non processed. During lockdown I decided to quit my emotional dependency on sugar about 9 months before I started seeing Mel. I felt better but I felt that something still wasn’t right and I could be better.I over heard Skye, who runs the local cafe, Bear and Cub now known as Coffee for the People Roasting Co. So Skye was telling another customer about her wonderful experience with Mel and that she’s been seeing her for years. I trust Skye’s opinion because she just tells it how it is, no BS. I rang up Skye later to ask for the details and the next week I booked myself in.In the first appointment I got some answers about why I was feeling mediocre. Mel used the Vega machine to test all the general things and talked me through what is happening and I walked out of there with a plan of attack, get back to basics and build up the good foundations of my body absorbing my food properly… it clearly wasn’t, hence the need for iron tablets.Mel’s approach was gentle, caring and approachable. Loved her vibes!The first couple of weeks I felt better as my gut was getting cleansed and feeling less bloated, my dreams were more memorable, memory and focus was better and no longer felt exhausted at the end of the day.Each fortnight my prescriptions changed, I copped a cold in between but Mel and Ross helped me through it.What I love about their approach is that they give you the tools to be empowered to take charge of your health. I was fortunate that I had a good start with diet first so the treatment could work effectively.Fast forward to a couple of months and I haven’t touched my iron supplements, I only take a couple of items for maintenance and the quality of my sleep is setting me up for a successful happy day!Now that I have their support I feel like the best version of myself physically and mentally. Thank you to Mel and the team for helping me get through this last hump of feeling bleh.Love you guys, I’m a fan for life x

Having contracted an auto immmune disease my energy levels were shot. 8 months of feeling depleted. Spent many hours daily on the couch. Ross McLaren applied his healing skills and within 8 weeks I became more energetic. Back at sport work and socialising. Thank you Ross!!

I forgot how good I can feel when I see Ross regularly! I didn't come in for over a year and I definitely notice the difference once i'm regularly following Ross' advice. I love his no nonsense approach to his job and always walk out feeling better....and even better again when I start taking his advice on a regular basis!

I was recommended to Ross almost 10 years ago now. When I first met with him I was competing in Triathlons and was putting my body under immense pain and stress. However, Ross took care of me over the years and worked with me to take my health, energy and fitness to another level. I am extremely happy with his ongoing service and would not recommend him highly enough to anyone looking at improving their general health or sporting ability.

I would just like to say Ross is absolutely amazing at what he does. Started coming to the clinic a few years ago and hadn't been for the past two years. Decided to come in yesterday for an appointment with Ross because my son had a bad case of tonsillitis and in quite a bit of pain. This had also been the third sickness he's had within a month. Ross tested my son on the machine and worked out exactly what he would need which was some liquid herbs, twice daily and an immune powder, twice daily. No joke, that evening my son had no pain in his throat anymore and was feeling much better after just his second dose! By the next day (today), I checked his throat and the white spots on his tonsils were gone and his throat looked less red and inflamed. Ross's concoction of herbal medicine is liquid gold and it is so worth the money instead of wasting time and money on antibiotics that kill not only the bad bacteria but the good bacteria in your body.I would not go to any other Naturopath because I have always seen amazing results and you know you're in good hands when you see Ross. Thank you, Ross!

Ross is a wealth of knowledge and his experience is shared with you. Follow his directions and your overall health improves.Yes I have been seeing Ross for decades and always feel like I am at the top of my game after seeing Ross.

My Mum recently came back from China with a dreadful chest infection, I bundled her off to the doctors, and after waiting for over an hour past her scheduled appointment time and a 5 minute consultation, he prescribed antibiotics that were way too strong for her depleted immune system and caused further issues. Looking for another option I found Ross McLaren’s details. She rang and was given an appointment the next morning. Ross asked all the relevant questions about Mum’s lifestyle, her eating habits, her fitness regime, where she’d been recently and diagnosed that a parasite had given her the chest infection. Ross took the whole ½ hour consultation time to thoroughly explain the different vitamins he was proposing, advising that she’d feel great for three days as the vitamins kicked in and then bad for a day or 2 as her body got use to the vitamins and plateaued, then her body would start to repair. He took the time to explain what to take with the vitamins, when to take them, and when not to (generally never before bed as most have a stimulating effect, which you don’t want when you’re trying to sleep). Three weeks later Lorraine was well on the way to recovery and three months later she is seeing Ross every 6 weeks to maintain her health, immune system and energy levels.Everyone is different and has a preferred choice of practitioner when they’re not well. There is certainly a necessity for doctors but sometimes you may need an alternate option. I highly recommend trying out Ross McLaren the next time you or your family are needing assistance with your immune system, an energy boost, assistance with muscle fatigue/recovery, or quality vitamins to keep you in tip top condition

Hubby has been seeing Ross for years and I finally took some much needed self care and see him myself. His honesty is so appreciated and made me feel heaps better. Reminder emails and text are sent few days before and don't forget to subscribe to their newsletter which is full of informative articles!
