What is a naturopathic consultation?
A naturopathic consultation is a structured clinical appointment where a naturopath takes your full health history and builds a treatment plan around it. With Marilyn Smith that means 60 to 75 minutes, no rushing, and no one-size-fits-all checklist. Marilyn brings decades of clinical experience to every consultation, in an attentive environment where your health history is heard in full.
Rooted in the core principles of naturopathy, treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and tailored to restore balance and vitality. Marilyn helps you navigate intentional lifestyle measures and proactive natural care.

“While genetics may lay the groundwork, how you care for yourself shapes the outcome. Even inherited traits can be influenced through intentional lifestyle choices and proactive health measures.”

THE CONSULTATION PROCESS
What happens in your first naturopathy appointment?
Clear, structured care designed to respect your pace and answer your questions.
Comprehensive Health & Lifestyle History
During your initial 60 to 75-minute consultation, Marilyn explores your full health story, current challenges, family patterns, lifestyle stressors, and previous investigations.
Systems Review & Dietary Assessment
We look thoroughly across digestive function, sleep quality, energy cycles, skin health, and nutritional intake to identify where the body needs restorative support.
Personalised Treatment Strategy
Marilyn formulates a structured, realistic roadmap. This may include tailored herbal extracts, Bach Flower remedies, targeted clinical nutrition, or topical preparations.
Collaborative Review & Ongoing Care
Follow-up consultations track your response, fine-tune prescriptions, and support sustainable, long-term health as your balance is steadily restored.
WHAT TO EXPECT OVER TIME
How long does naturopathic treatment take?
Most people see Marilyn for an initial consultation and then two to four follow-ups over the first three months. How long you continue depends on what you came in with and how your body responds. Marilyn reviews your prescription at every visit and adjusts it as things change. Some people come back twice a year for a wellness review once things are steady. Nothing is sold as a package and there is no lock-in.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Common questions about seeing a naturopath
Do I need a referral to see a naturopath?
No. You can book directly with Marilyn without a referral from your GP. If Marilyn believes something needs medical investigation, she will tell you and recommend you see your doctor.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
An initial consultation with Marilyn is $145 for 60 to 75 minutes. Follow-up consultations are $90, and a short consultation for existing clients is $60. Prescribed herbs, flower remedies and supplements are charged separately.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring a list of any medications and supplements you currently take, any recent blood test results, and a note of the main things you want to talk about. If you do not have test results to hand, come anyway.
Can I see a naturopath while taking prescribed medication?
Yes, and you should tell Marilyn what you are taking. She reviews your current medications as part of formulating your prescription, and will refer you back to your GP or pharmacist where that is the right call. Never stop a prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor.
Who is a naturopathic consultation not right for?
Naturopathy is not emergency care and it does not replace your doctor. If you have an acute injury, chest pain, or anything that needs urgent medical attention, see a doctor or go to hospital. Naturopathic care also asks something of you, because diet and lifestyle changes are usually part of the plan.
Where is the clinic, and do you see people from Margaret River?
Iris Naturopathic Clinic is at 682 Holben Road, Cowaramup WA 6284, a short drive north of Margaret River. Marilyn sees people from across the South West, including Margaret River, Witchcliffe, Vasse, Dunsborough, Yallingup and Busselton. Appointments are by arrangement.
