Shift at Brisbane Natural Health

I began my healing journey at the Shift Clinic in March 2021. After my initial Naturopathic appointment with Melissa, I signed up to become a member.I had been suffering with severe hormone imbalances, and all the accompanying debilitating symptoms, for years. Those years were filled with medical appointment after medical appointment, and I was starting to think there was no hope.Eight months on, I struggle to recognise who I was earlier in the year. No longer suffering and instead filled with joy, confidence and hope, Melissa has completely turned my life around. I feel better than the normal" I longed to feel one day.The Shift Clinic treats you as the individual you are. The care and support you feel from the moment you walk in only increases.There is hope

I started seeing Shift during the Covid pandemic and I was struggling with my overall health. I found the team to be very supportive and focused on the job of assessment, ongoing regular support and providing me with the best supplements and advice for my various health challenges. Thank you Shift and Vanessa for all of your help and guidance.

I've been going here on and off for probably close to 10 yrs. I've been lucky enough to being seeing Katherine for various reasons, mostly just trying to correct my diet and focusing on healthy eating. Most recently my wife and myself started seeing her for fertility reasons. katherine is really an expert in her field. She is very thorough, has a world of knowledge and knows how to personalize treatments for you. She's also extremely intelligent and driven and surrounds herself with highly motivated equally passionate staff. Charlie is especially helpful! The whole team are wonderful. I couldn't recommend a business more highly. World class!

I have seen both Katherine and Sheila at Brisbane Natural Health and would recommend their services to anyone who is looking to improve their overall health. After initially seeing Katherine due to some neurological issues she was able to identify some other health issues I didn’t even know I had, as I was just used to the symptoms. Since becoming a member I can feel the change in my overall health. My energy levels are the highest they’ve been in years. Sheila has guided me through the process and always provides me with such a wide depth of knowledge during my appointments. After starting my membership in January my health has improved so much and I feel so positive and full of energy everyday. I have followed the principles and guidance I have received from the practitioners and this has resulted in a monumental shift in my health. The reception staff are also lovely, personable and helpful. If you are looking to improve your health or have a specific health concern I couldn’t recommend Brisbane Natural Health enough!

Kinesiology with KristinaMy whole journey with the Shift clinic has been incredible. I initially came in with gut issues and constant diarrhea and was enrolled into a 4 month treatment plan. At the time of writing, I have not had any or my previous symptoms and my gut health is honestly better than its ever been. Most surprisingly to me, part of my treatment plan included kinesiology. Initially I was a little skeptical but went into the process with an open mind...and the treatments with Kristina were mind blowing! The different modality may not be for everyone, but I noticed my most significant biological changes after one of the healing sessions with Kristina. I experienced subtle shifts in my energy, a sense of calmness. At the time I was interviewing for work and where I would usually be a little on edge and restless, I was remarkably calm. I could not recommend Kristina's services as well as the broader Shift team enough.

I highly recommend the Shift Workplace program to any business looking to offer staff an incentive to improve their health and wellbeing. With a mix of men and women covering most age brackets on staff I am impressed with the way Shift are able to offer modalities to suit most needs. After 5 months in the program the feedback has been excellent and all staff have reported noticeable positive change to their health. Notably, the program has brought about more positive workplace culture and opened the door for conversations about better health amongst the team.The Shift experience is a good one. From the moment you walk through the door you feel welcome and treated like an individual, not just another patient. The practitioners are caring, knowledgeable and work together to bring a wholistic approach to health. Communication is also excellent from everyone I have dealt with at Shift. Thank you to Katherine and The Shift team!

Immensely grateful for my first introduction to The Shift Clinic at their endometriosis workshop. Over the next two years I was fortunate to work with Katherine and the team as they supported endometriosis & hormonal issues, my nervous system, connective tissue and all the emotional work that can be needed a long the way. It was refreshing to be able to move through naturopath, hypnotherapy, acupuncture and other sessions with the practitioners working together on the issues at hand. For me, the Shift Clinic holds a sense of community, which starts with the ladies at front desk who know who you are as soon as you walk in the door. Immensely grateful, and changed from my time here.

I couldn’t recommend The Shift clinic and especially Dr Vanessa. After being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease my body felt like it was crashing and I needed help. I would not be where I am today without the help from Dr Vanessa and the knowledge she has passed onto me. She made the process easier and was always there for support when I needed it.The clinic is such a beautiful space and you feel calm as soon as you walk in. The receptionists were always so lovely and helpful and explained the membership process easily.Thank you so much Shift Team x

It would be fair to say that the last two years, in particular, have been a challenge for me personally.After battling with any number of illnesses over a long period of time, my partner of six years entered a period of rapidly declining health and was deemed a multimorbidity patient. As a result, our planned wedding happened much quicker than expected & I gave up my job to become his full-time carer before he passed away.During his decline my sole focus was him, in some ways to the detriment of my own health and whilst I acknowledge that grief played a major part in some of my weight gain, I also know that I’d developed bad habits over many years; snacking, emotional eating, convenience eating, living a mostly sedentary lifestyle to name just a few.If the loss of my husband taught me anything it is that life is too short and that our health matters! I needed to find something to help me rediscover joy in my life and to help me feel like my old self again.Following a personal recommendation and some google research of my own I came across The Shift Clinic. Having always been an advocate of natural therapies I thought this could be just what I needed to help me find my way back to lightness – physically and emotionally.I joined the 8-week weight loss challenge and I’ve not looked back.My appointments with Hypnotherapist, Rebecca and Naturopath & Nutritionist, Carolyn have provided me with the tools to; identify self-sabotaging behaviours, acknowledge all parts of me, start small, set realistic and achievable goals, feel supported, get back up when I fall, move – even if it’s only for 10 mins at a time, celebrate small wins, stick to the plan and remember that anything is possible.8-weeks down the track I’m just under 10kg lighter physically. I’ve still got more weight to lose but for the first time in a long time, I know I’ll achieve it because the biggest ‘shift’ for me has been in how I think and how I feel, the routines & rituals I’ve put in place and the way I speak to myself.The Shift Clinic really can help you ‘shift’ you just have to be willing to let it.

I had the pleasure of seeing the incredibly talented Hypnotherapist Rebecca for 18 months during a time of need. She helped me to thrive in both my personal life and my career. Her ability to pin point every aspect of my life that I was struggling with was second to none. She is very intuitive and could always find out was what on my mind before I even entered the room. She also helped me eliminate bad habits of chocolate and alcohol in just a session at a time. I highly recommend her, I tell all of my friends and family that every time I visit her it was like a brain massage : ) My only reason that I have stopped seeing her was because I relocated to Sydney for an exciting career opportunity which she helped me to create.
