I’m a qualified nutritionist specialising in gut health and autoimmune disease. I support clients with everything from digestive symptoms like bloating and IBS to improving overall gut health, reducing chronic inflammation, and managing autoimmune symptoms. My approach looks at the many areas of wellbeing that influence gut health, chronic disease, and overall vitality, from nutrition and lifestyle to nervous system regulation and mindset. I also integrate functional testing where appropriate to create personalised, evidence-based programs tailored to each individual. Having lived with coeliac disease and autoimmune arthritis (JIA) since a young age, I understand firsthand the challenges that come with chronic illness and gut health struggles. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the body’s ability to heal when supported holistically. After many years of relying on medication to manage my autoimmune arthritis, I’m now in remission, managing my health through nutrition, lifestyle, and a balanced approach to wellness.

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.

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.
