What Is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that supports the body’s natural ability to heal.

It combines traditional wisdom with modern science—using herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle advice, and breathing techniques to address the root causes of health issues.

What to Expect in a Naturopathic Consultation with Me

Whether we meet in-person at my clinic in Cairns or connect online, the first consultation takes one hour. During this time, we’ll explore your current symptoms as well as your health history, diet, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing. It’s a thorough, top-to-toe look at what’s going on, with the aim of uncovering the root cause of your concerns rather than just treating the symptoms.

Treatment is always tailored to you. Depending on your needs and preferences, it might involve changes to your diet, herbal or nutritional supplements, breathing exercises, a referral to another health professional (such as a physiotherapist) — or simply patting your cat. We work together as a team.

 If you have any relevant test results or reports, please email them before your appointment. After our session, you’ll receive a clear treatment plan, including how long I expect treatment to take. Follow-ups are scheduled as needed, and you’re always welcome to check in via email between appointments.

How My Approach Differs From a Doctor

I’m not a medical doctor and I don’t prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. Instead, I work alongside your GP or specialist when needed, offering complementary, natural support.

With over 35 years of experience in Naturopathic Medicine, Buteyko breathing, and herbal therapy, I provide safe, long-term health solutions tailored to you.

Naturopathy looks beyond symptoms to uncover the “why”—and gently brings the body back into balance.

I often like to start with standard pathology test results — even when your results are within the 'normal' range, they may not be ideal for you personally. In some cases, I also recommend functional testing for a deeper look. This can include Microbiome (GI360), DUTCH testing for hormones and cortisol, vaginal microbiome analysis, heavy metal screening, and other specialised tests through pathology labs. 

Yes! Naturopathy works hand-in-hand with your GP’s care and can complement conventional treatments by supporting your overall wellbeing naturally.

No, you should never stop prescribed treatments without talking to your GP first. Naturopathy is designed to work alongside your existing medical care safely.

Some herbs and supplements can interact with prescription medications. To ensure your treatment is both safe and effective, I use an evidence-based clinical database to check for any potential interactions. Please let me know what medications you’re currently taking so I can tailor your care accordingly.

 

Absolutely. Naturopathic care is safe and effective for all ages—from children to older adults—and works well alongside your GP’s advice.

Naturopathy helps improve metabolic health by addressing factors like blood sugar regulation, weight management, and liver support through personalised nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes.

I use a company called Vital.ly, which stocks high-quality practitioner-only brands. They offer an excellent range, prompt delivery, great service, and competitive prices. You’ll be set up with your own account, where I can prescribe directly and you can easily place your orders.

Naturopathic consultations are not currently eligible for Medicare rebates.

However, there's good news on the private health insurance front. As of April 2025, the Australian Government has accepted recommendations to reinstate private health insurance rebates for Naturopathy. 

What clients have to say about Mim Beim

Treatment Worked

​I’m delighted to let you know the treatment plan worked. I was able to recover from the onset of ulcerative colitis. This is the first time I have ever reversed it.  ​ Thank you as always for your health guidance. I cannot imagine my life without you in it.

Emelia

Constipation gone

I just wanted to thank you for correcting my digestive gas problem. I am no longer constipated and that has resulted in a reduction of my stomach to the point where I can now learn to exercise muscles in that region. Amazing!

Christine

Empathic and effective

Mim is the first health practitioner who ever fully "saw" me.  She always takes the time to understand the full picture and to provide caring, empathic and effective advice.  I love that Mim takes a measured approach and always works within the bounds of what you're capable of taking on at the time. After seeing Mim, I always feel motivated and inspired to improve my health.

Leah

Gut AND Baby 

As you know, I suffered many years, and saw many specialists, regarding my gut issues. Due to your guidance and advice, I feel like I’m back to normality. Also, I have big news- I am 6.5 months pregnant!! We have a baby girl arriving in early November. Without all your help, I really don’t think I could have fallen pregnant so easily! Thank you again for all your help! I can’t express how much you assisted me get my life back on track. 

Bri

Great Book

Oh my goodness, I hope you don't mind me being a bit of a fan girl - I read your book, Nutrition for Slobs, when I was 18 and it helped me immensely! It was one of the first common sense nutrition books I'd ever come across that helped me grasp food and nutrition in a way that felt so realistic. I still have the book, 20 years later! Thank you so much for everything you do!
