Need an Aussie practitioner? My inbox is always filled with questions about which integrative doctor, naturopath, dentist, building biologist… I would recommend, and I truly feel humbled by the esteem with which you hold my opinion on such things. It is critical to find great support if you’re navigating something complex with your health, or simply want a big-picture thinking partner in helping you navigate a low tox life.
I find it so important to be able to receive high-quality care, so we’ve also opened the doors to a Low Tox Clinic, with our founding practitioner, Lisa Waayer a double-qualified Naturopath and Building biologist. My hope is that we can support you at the intersection of your health and your environment for those more complex root cause cases. No expensive initial consults. No prescription of endless supplements. Flexible sessions as short as 30 minutes – designed to empower and support with grounded, practical guidance.
Over the years, I’ve put together this list of practitioners that I have worked with or who have come recommended within the Go Low Tox Alumni group and Low Tox Club Facebook group with resounding ‘yes, that person is awesome’ verifications from the community in an effort to make your life easier and help you find high quality, trustworthy people to turn to. Remember, it’s super important to feel like you’ve found a ‘partner’ in your efforts to lead a low tox life. You never want to feel railroaded, belittled or overwhelmed or like your practitioner approaches things dogmatically – the only effective team to be on is team patient, and there are many roads to achieving what it is you need right now.
My advice? Remember you’re a customer with agency. When you’ve worked with someone for more than 3-4 sessions and absolutely nothing is improving, sure, sometimes that is because we’re not doing the work so we have to be honest with ourselves, too, but if the protocols, supplements, detoxification etc is showing zero signs of improvement, then switch it up! Interview/audition someone else. Ask if they’d be open to a 15-minute discovery call and move forward with the different approach you clearly need.
I am a big fan of an annual check-up whether medical or dental. It’s all too easy to put everyone before ourselves and skip that annual visit to your integrative health professional. Hopefully, this resource is a prompt for you to put your health and well-being at the top of the list.
Why do we need annual checkups?
While instinctively many of us know when we’re not feeling 100%, it’s always helpful to have a full blood count done to identify any underlying illnesses or deficiencies that may lead to something more tricky to deal with down the track. It’s not about fear, but about empowering you to be on the front foot.
This list is intended as a starting point for you. There are many practitioners out there, and it is important that you work with someone whom you trust, can build rapport with, and who makes you feel heard. I hope it’s helpful.

Thanks Kim. We have added this to the list, appreciate you taking the time x
Thank you so much for these. Hoping the list keeps getting added to Am in south east qld

Thanks Karen! We will continue to update it x
These integrative doctors are insanely expensive. Mark Donohue is $800+ for the initial appointment, thats before any testing.
Very hard to get treatment unless you are rich.

Hey Ali – I hear you which is why we must also campaign for greater awareness of chronic environmental toxin illnesses that fly under the radar. Mark’s initial is a half day, so if you consider a ‘long’ GP visit for an hour is 270 at a regular surgery it’s actually about the same price it’s just that it takes so long to investigate root causes – and that’s not even the tests, right? Anyhoo, they are great doctors nevertheless. An experienced naturopath might be the go – that’s what I mostly use for cost reasons too. All the best x
Very true.its discussing and no guarantees anything will help.
Hey there, for those of us ‘low tox junkies’ that live in New Zealand, Dr Steve Joe Integrative Medicine in Hamilton are absolutely amazing!!

ooh thanks for sharing!
Dr Kate Barry in Sydney is fabulous. She’s a CIRS sufferer herself so is very empathetic and patient. I’ve had trouble with the aggressive detox approach that many practitioners take, so her gentle approach was much more tolerable and effective. She also works virtually so can help people from all over the world.

Thanks so much for sharing Nathan – so glad you found someone to take you through it gently – I agree, many go at break neck speed and it’s just too much for such inflamed bodies!
