The fundamental philosophy for Circle of Health is that all people should have the opportunity to live long, healthy lives. What I have learnt from my studies, life experiences and noticing gaps in the education of young adults aged 20 to 30 years, this business initiative has been developed to empower them to be manage their own health and wellbeing and establish preventative health practices with a commitment to sharing and providing education, information, strategies and motivation to improve their health and food choices to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. Circle of Health offers online consultation sessions to create a comprehensive health assessment and the development of a personalised treatment plan that considers the client's unique needs and supports their overall health and nutrition-related goals. Experiencing ongoing health issues from early childhood and growing up in a rural community on my grandparent's property provided an environment for healthy living, implementing sustainable and ethical practices with the farm to table process and in later life when I moved to the city, discovering the benefits of healthy dietary practices, exercise and lifestyle strategies recommended by Clinical Nutritionists, Dietitians and other holistic health professionals which ultimately led to the decision to study the Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine).

I am an experienced physiotherapist with 12 years in practice, working with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. My background includes extensive work in spinal care, as well as sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and exercise-based recovery programs. I aim to help clients not only overcome pain and injury, but also improve mobility, strength, and long-term resilience. After graduating from La Trobe University, I began my career at Back In Motion Blackburn, progressing from associate to Clinical Services Coordinator and Co-Director. These roles gave me the opportunity to mentor clinicians, collaborate with GPs, and design patient-centred programs while continuing to manage a diverse clinical caseload. I also have strong experience delivering care through telehealth, supporting clients remotely via one-on-one consultations and guided exercise plans. In addition, I have extensive experience in clinical Pilates, including designing programs and running group classes to support rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual - whether your goal is returning to sport, recovering after surgery, or managing ongoing back or joint pain.

My name is Pratima Barve and I am extremely passionate about health and wellbeing. I always aim to achieve human body’s remarkable potential for self-healing from the inside out. My journey to Naturopathy While pursuing a degree in Marine science I experienced some health challenges of my own. During this time, I realised that the key to good health lies in a preventative and holistic multimodal approach which takes into account the body as a whole. This includes: Viewing each individual as absolutely unique. Addressing the root of illness rather than just its symptoms. Allowing nutrition to play its essential role. So, I decided to marry my passion with work and make this my prime focus by pursuing a career in homeopathy. After completing a Doctor's degree in homeopathy from India, I began teaching firstly at the College of Homeopathy in Auckland followed by the Australasian college of natural therapies in Sydney. While lecturing, I was also working as a clinic supervisor. With a growing interest in the fields of natural therapy, I completed my Naturopathic degree and since have transitioned to a full time practice. I am committed to embracing and promoting health for myself and anyone else who is keen to improve their wellbeing and feel abundantly vibrant! My Values My approach is to educate and empower my clients to take charge of their health I am constantly amazed at the results. Naturopathy and Homoeopathy works, especially when its applied with understanding, and a belief that optimum health is ours for the taking. My healthcare philosophy I believe in providing the best integrated healthcare possible by working within a framework of empathy, integrity, safety and professionalism. Whether a patient is suffering from a long-term chronic illness or wants to optimise their health, I believe in providing expert solutions for all using the best possible tools, modalities and the finest quality supplements and herbs available to us. How I like to help customers Before you come to see me, I will ask you to fill in a case history form with questions about your health now, and health history, family health history and genetics, current stress factors, the health of all your vital organs, foods etc. I would also like you to fill in a food diary over a short period.  What I enjoy about my work I am absolutely passionate about Homoeopathy and Naturopathy. It is such a powerful tool in both preventing and healing symptoms of disease. I personally believe without making any health claims that almost any chronic disease can improve with Natural Therapy. You just need to know what to do and what choices there are to make. Make a commitment and then be consistent. This is an amazing journey to take. You will be amazed how much your life can improve. If you have any questions for me please do get in touch. Thank you for taking the time to look at what I do.

Hi, I'm Victoria and I am here to help you achieve health in all seasons, no matter where you are starting from. I am passionate about seeing people heal from chronic disease and improve their mental and physical health. I am an AARPN registered Certified Practicing Nutritionist (CPN) with a bachelors degree in Clinical Nutrition. I believe in nutrition and lifestyle first, because if the foundation is poor you can throw every supplement under the sun at your body and it will only produce short term results at best. I am able to offer functional pathology testing and as an AARPN recognised CPN I have TGA schedule 1 exemption, meaning under Australian Law I have independent prescribing capacity and can prescribe personalised compounded nutraceuticals and practitioner only products to patients. My life experience and academic interests have drawn me to many areas of focus, particularly mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction and the impacts it has on brain health; particularly mental health (including mood disorders - Bipolar Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder, GAD, and Panic Disorders) neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD & ASD), neuro-inflammation and cognitive decline. I have undertaken continued education in: - Clinical Care for Autistic Adults (Harvard Medical School) - Common Causes and Treatments of Depression in Children and Adolescents (Stanford School of Medicine) - Women’s Health: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Stanford School of Medicine) Please note: EPC/ Chronic care plans are for patients without Private Health Insurance.
