Melbourne Wellness - South Yarra

Fantastic experience: Bethany is an extremely talented skin therapist from Melbourne Wellness! I used to suffer from consistent breakouts, but after following Bethany's advice, my skin is so clear and healthy. She went into so much depth, explaining the products and supplements she prescribed me, as well as explaining the condition of my skin barrier and how to heal it. She was so lovely and provided really clear instructions to follow post-appointment. With my acne gone, my confidence in my appearance is better than ever, and I couldn't thank Bethany enough for the wonders she has worked on my skin.

Fantastic experience: Emily Segal is hands down one of the best naturopaths I’ve ever seen! After struggling with chronic and severe gut issues for over five years, she figured out the root cause. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, calm, empathetic, and just an all-around wonderful person. If you’re thinking about booking an appointment—don’t wait!

Fantastic experience: Seeing Alon for my gut issues was the best thing I've done for my health. Alon was attentive and supportive, and the nutrition and lifestyle template I received was so much more detailed and informative than literally any other naturopath I've been to. I feel more confident that I can take charge of my holistic wellbeing than I've ever felt before. I'm very grateful

Fantastic experience: Went in after having acid reflux for what felt like over a year straight. Alon helped me get it under control with easy to manage diet changes and supplements to take. The changes had me feeling better within the week and everything was super easy to follow and understand and at no time felt overwhelming. After two appointments I no longer have the constant reflux and now know what sets it off and what to do to make it better. Would definitely recommend if you’re serious about your health and becoming healthier

Fantastic experience: My 16yo daughter was having trouble with her gut health over a couple of years. As a 14-15yo she decided to cut out a lot of protein from her diet and ate volumes of vegetables, fruit and legumes which was the start of her gut health problems. Through self awareness and diagnosis, we knew she had multiple problems from lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance and IBS. Turning to our local GP for a solution, we received no answers. The ultrasound came back clear, so our only recommendation our GP made was to turn to a FODMAP diet. After sticking to a strict FODMAP diet with little improvement, I turned to the internet. Reading the reviews at Melbourne Wellness, I knew Alon would be able to provide the answers that we were looking for. As a mother, I was initially a sceptic but I was willing for my daughter to try anything. Alon was attentive and listened to my daughter's problems. Over a few months, my daughter had to a follow a special diet of low histamine foods. The diet was introduced to her in stages so it wasn't too difficult to follow. She was also recommended a variety of supplement's in conjunction with the special diet. Over 4-5 months her symptoms began to decrease, although still gluten and lactose intolerant, she has managed to wean herself off all supplements except one and she is introducing the foods she once used to have back into her diet. Alon offered hope and a light at the end of tunnel where there was none. We appreciate Alon's help and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Alon at Melbourne wellness did an amazing job at guiding us to better health and a great lifestyle. Took the time and effort to understand our personal needs, through his vast knowledge we were able to achieve a great goal. Thank you Alon for all your great help!

Fantastic experience: I have been having a hard time getting sleep and always feeling fatigue.They helped me have a good relationship with food, and how I should approach a proper diet. They gave me a detailed guideline on what food I should eat and what to avoid. I highly recommend this clinic.

Fantastic experience: Suffering from gut health issues for over a decade now, I have constantly found myself running back into problems I thought had been resolved, which led to increased levels of anxiety when it came to food. However, after visiting Melbourne Wellness earlier this year and working with Alon, the guidance and knowledge he has provided me has led me to see real, lasting changes, that have had a massive impact on my life. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: definitely 110% recommend Melbourne Wellness! always welcomed at reception by friendly vibes and smiles. Alon was able to educate, change my outlook on food and all aspects of wellbeing and heal my gut after suffering from digestive issues for years absolutely love melbourne wellness can't recommend enough !

Fantastic experience: I ran into a whole range of health problems in 2020, where it felt like my whole system was shutting down. After working with multiple doctors and specialists, I can say that seeing Alon at Melbourne Wellness was by far the best thing I did and was most helpful in getting my health back on track. Alon supported me with diet advice and other areas of wellness over a number of months and I’m now symptom free and feel so much more in control of how to look after myself and manage any flare ups. Thanks so much Alon and Melbourne Wellness!

Fantastic experience: For the last year and a half I've been suffering from IBS like symptoms and what i had been told by Doctors was a chronic Sinus Infection. As a last option i decided to see a Naturopath. Describing my symptoms i was told there was a good chance i had developed a Histamine Intolerance as a result of bad dieting habits. I was doubtful that by changing my eating habits that i would see improvement and i didn't in the first 2 months. But gradually over time i found that My IBS got better and that there were plenty of days where i had no Sinus symptoms. It took me roughly 6 months for my stomach to get back to the way it was before my symptoms began, and am very thankful to Alon for the encouraging help along the way.

Fantastic experience: Some good things come out of Covid-19. With more downtime and less travel I was able to take an opportunity to look at how I was managing my Thyroid auto-immune condition, Hashimoto's. I always wanted to take a holistic approach to my health but didn’t feel like I had the tools or time before. Alon from Melbourne Wellness really helped me on my journey to empower me with those tools to not only help manage my general health and Hashimoto’s while working from home, but also for when I’m back in the office and travelling. I’ve learnt so much about what works for me through Alon, and while the sessions were virtual we built a good rapport and connected on what was important to me. I highly recommend Melbourne Wellness and Alon they helped me take control of my health journey.

Fantastic experience: I suffered with migraines for a long time. I was ready to try anything to feel normal. After doing extensive research I thought trying Shiatsu treatments might help. I found Melbourne Wellness and the lovely Ann. After my first Shiatsu treatment I felt a huge difference, I did not have a migraine for weeks. Fast forward a few months later - I have been a regular client of Ann's and I can honestly say that I feel like a new and improved version of myself. I do not get migraines any longer; I am more connected to my body and I overall feel happier. A shiatsu treatment (for me) is more beneficial than a remedial massage. I will be a client for life!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at the clinic is so kind and helpful, and Alon has been able to help me with a number of issues relating to overall health, diet, and hormones, helping massively with issues such as hair loss, digestive problems and clearing up my skin:)

Fantastic experience: I started attending Vital Chi Wellness Clinic in Blackburn in February this year, working with their naturopath, Alon. From the outset, Alon listened to my list of health problems and immediately established a plan of action working with my diet and lifestyle. He clearly and concisely outlined each step and provided written information after each session to assist. Each step was always done in consultation with me and what I was comfortable attempting. At the second session, looking at the results of blood tests that my GP had ordered, he knew he was on the right path. Within a month I already felt the benefits. It is now 6 months since commencing and I can’t believe how well I feel….Feeling & knowing the benefits, it is easy to maintain all that I have learnt from Alon. The staff in the shop were pleasant and obliging. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Alon and the team at Vital Chi Wellness were wonderful. His approach to improving my health was incredibly straightforward, easily implemented and I felt results instantly. My mindset has changed and this in turn has dramatically improved my physical health.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Alon, who was great. A very supportive and professional clinic.

Fantastic experience: I've got nothing but kind words for Vital Chi! I saw Alon and felt like he really took his time to listen to me before recommending anything. He explained everything really clearly to me, which was very helpful as I'd never seen a naturopath before. He also gave me options for treatment and made me feel empowered to choose the right path for myself and set out templates for me to maintain my health in the long term. Would definitely recommend. :)

Fantastic experience: Alon at Vital Chi is amazing. Not only is he a lovely guy but he has helped me deal with some really awful hormonal issues that had started to impact my daily life. Within a month of meeting Alon I felt like my old self again.

Fantastic experience: Vital Chi has been my go-to clinic since 2012. I have seen Lina and Alon over the years and both are exceptionally skilled practitioners. Both Lina and Alon were able to help move me from feeling like I was just surviving - to being energetic and thriving. Old habits (be it food choices, sleep hygiene or lack of exercise) are hard to break, but the practitioners at Vita Chi are experts at educating and guiding clients to inspire change and lead them to healthier and happier lives. Life happens and sometimes we fall off the wagon, but it's reassuring to know that Vita Chi and its amazing team of practitioners and reception staff are always ready to help you get back to a state of vitality and wellness. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Vital Chi for all your wonderful care throughout the years :)

Fantastic experience: Lina has been helping me for many months to overcome a number of health issues. She has been assisting me with severe acne, hormonal imbalances, gut issues (parasites, candida), stress management and anxiety. She has used her expertise to give me the right supplements, nutritional advice and lifestyle recommendations that have improved my situation drastically. She is always professional, personable, and super supportive of whatever it is that I am going through. I could not recommend Lina and this clinic enough, thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Shiho is an exceptional practitioner. With her support, I have seen a huge improvement in my health and well-being, particularly in the management of my hormonal health. As well as being an incredible naturopath, she is also an amazing listener and very thoughtful in her advice. Thank you, Shiho and Vital Chi.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Shiho since March 2020. What she prescribed for me has changed my sinus condition from Doctors appointments every 3 weeks to no Doctors appointments at all for over 3 months. I highly recommend seeing her for an appointment if you are having sinus issues. It has worked a treat for me! I feel well again. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Lina has been professionally assisting with treatment for my chronic kidney disease where 6 months ago I was heading to dialysis. Lina has been exceptional in explaining her approach to my kidney problem and even enlisted agreement by my Nephrologist to modify my medication regime that she rightly believed would have a positive impact. My kidney function has improved by 50% and I'm confident that with Lina's continuing support I will maintain or further improve my kidney health. Lina has been receptive to seeking out information for any questions that I have and has taken a holistic approach in my treatment - which simply has had such a positive impact - thank you Lina!

Fantastic experience: The whole team at Vital Chi are just exceptional! From the minute you walk through the door, during the appointment and as you are leaving, the whole experience is so pleasant. The girls at reception are so lovely and always make you feel very comfortable. I've been seeing Lina for a while now and I couldn't recommend her enough. She creates a safe environment for her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure that you receive help specific to you. My experience has completely changed my outlook on my health and life!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming staff in a relaxed atmosphere, I love coming in! Shiho is caring and knowledgable, and so easy to talk to. It's great having her on my health team <3

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Lina for about 6 months and she is amazing as are all the team at Vital Chi Wellness, they really care and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Lina to everyone she is a great practitioner and really wants to get to the heart of the situation she is curious, kind, intuitive and extremely knowledgeable . Highly recommend you check them out.

Fantastic experience: Alon @ Vital Chi literally changed my life for the better. I can't recommend him enough. His knowledgeable & well researched in gut health. I came into his care not being able to really eat anything, to leaving from his care being able to eat almost everything (almost meaning stuff I was already anaphylaxis too) treatment can be really hard work but at the end of the day it's WORTH IT!

Fantastic experience: Vital Chi Wellness is such a beautiful health hub. Alon Blumgart, their naturopath, is fantastic and the most thorough and lovely health care practitioner I have seen. Alon's support has been the last piece to the puzzle for feeling my best, energised, and optimising my lifestyle. I particularly recommend Alon for his expertise in Coeliac Disease and gut health. Thank you Vital Chi!

Fantastic experience: Such a warm and friendly place to come to. Shiho works holistically and shows genuine care about your well being. I would and do recommend this place often!

Fantastic experience: Alon has been an awesome support in my gut healing journey. He has a wealth of knowledge and his warm nature made me feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: Vital Chi Wellness is amazing, all the staff I have met there are so welcoming, friendly and professional!! I have had several appointments with Alon and he is incredible!! He helped to completely change my outlook and attitude towards health, in terms of both my physical and mental health. I cannot recommend seeing him enough! He is so welcoming, non judgemental and easy to talk to above any issues. I really felt a huge difference in my whole well being after going to vital chi :)

Positive experience: I have had two appointments so far with Naturopath Alon. He has been professional and friendly and is very passionate about helping people live their best lives through healthy eating and exercise. I have found seeing him beneficial and in only a short time have seen positive changes to my health.

Fantastic experience: Alon is an excellent naturopath, Highly recommended. Healthiest I’ve felt in a very long time...thanks Alon!

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the vital chi wellness team. Alon is a gun - very thorough and great at what he does. I was amazed at the results in such a short space of time. You have to be prepared to make some shifts in diet and lifestyle but it’s all worth it!

Fantastic experience: I have been fortunate enough to visit Vital Chi Wellness in Blackburn for past 12 months. Firstly visiting Daniel who was wonderful in his teaching and learning's of Mindfulness, thank you Daniel for teaching me now what i know, such a gentleman, you assisted me in placing perspective on life and acceptance of lifes journey. In recent times have met with Alon who has been so warm, accommodation and easy to meet with. Alon spent time listening to my concerns, understanding my weaknesses and tailoring a program over a series of weeks that was not only easy to follow but not overwhelming in its practice. Alon has helped me greatly in my gut health which has also had an impact on my mental wellbeing. Can not recommend Alon highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent clinic with a very warm and comfortable setting. Consulted with Alon for a number of sessions and found him very knowledgeable and an excellent naturopath!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Alon as a naturopath and general human being. He has a warm and approachable manner, and makes the idea of improving one's health and lifestyle accessible by addressing things in achievable and realistic steps. His thoughtful and research-based approach makes you feel that you're in good hands-and you are! :)

Fantastic experience: Have learnt lots from my sessions with alon. I would recommend others to try this clinic when needing help to improve overall health, gut health and improve specific symptoms.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my sessions with Alon. He was thorough and considered and put together a workable plan that was tailored to my needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Vital Chi. Alon treatment plan recommendations are the best. No more pain, better sleep and less stress. I suffered with so much pain in my knees, foot (osteoarthritis) for many years and now I am very happy and healthy. Thanks so much to Alon.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Vital Chi Wellness. I love coming here and learning better ways to improve my health and wellbeing. Alon is great, he has helped me on a new journey this year - better ways of eating and looking after myself. Thank you Alon, and to all the staff at Vital Chi, you guys are awsome!!

Fantastic experience: Its such bright, happy and welcoming environment, the staff are always so friendly and attentive. Alon is such an amazing naturopath, helping me learn to regain control of my health. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Vital Chi Wellness. Their naturopath has helped me to overcome fatigue which was so difficult in my life. I have struggled with chronic fatigue for many years and the diet, lifestyle and nutritional advice suggested by their naturopath has really changed my energy levels and my ability to focus and get through each day. My stress has also reduced as a result of their treatment. I enjoyed working with the Naturopath as she create a relaxed and nurturing environment which was really important to me. Their holistic approach has also been beneficial to me. I have enjoyed several massages by their amazing therapist and I can safely say they changed my life.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful humans!!! I live abroad and was visiting Melbourne for a short time and without fail the gorgeous receptionists Sheree and Sophie were so helpful organizing my appointments ahead of time and gave me so much guidance as to what every specialist and treatment would provide me. I saw a few of the wonderful team as I do believe health and wellness is a very integral part of life! I saw the stunning Tanvi for Osteopathy and without fail her incredibly kind heart and knowledge for what my body feels and needs just blew my mind. She took the time to even make sure she could fit me in again before I traveled. Lovely gorgeous soul. I then saw Alon for Naturopathy and his warm nature and confidence for how I could apply changes to my current already healthy lifestyle was incredible I learned SO much and am really excited to see and feel the changes I know will occur. He even is available to do follow-up online sessions so this made me very reassured. Wonderful guy lovely energy! Last but not at all least, Madelaine for Kinesiology. I wanted to try this as this was a completely new type of therapy for me which I hadn’t heard too much about. She helped me become away and release a very emotional responsibility that I was holding onto without myself being away. I would recommend being open minded and seeing her because I felt the most incredible energy shifts and I know what she has taught me will change my life only for the better. Thank you Vital-Chi team I wish you all love ❤️

Fantastic experience: For 15 years I have suffered with severe menstural pain. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16 years old and have tried so many natural therapies with no success. The only thing that would help my symptoms was the pill with its many unpleasent short and long term side effects. Shiho is INCREDIBLE. Within 3 months of seeing her and following her recommendations I experienced significant changes and now 6 months later things are still improving! Her expertise is outstanding and she explains everything so well! I enjoy our consults, she is such a warm and genuine person! Some therapists make you feel like they just want you to keep spending money on products and unnecessary visits - never once have I felt that with Shiho. She responds to my emails with questions on nutrition and provides recipes and nutritional information voluntarily. Not only has she helped me manage my PCOS naturally, her reccomendations have assisted me with IBS ( I can now eat foods I struggled with) and hormonal acne. My experience to date has been fantastic! Highly reccomend Shiho and Vital Chi!

Fantastic experience: I have seen Lina twice now and I am noticing a huge difference in my health and wellbeing. I would definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: l had the pleasure of meeting Alon a Naturopath who helped with my healthy weight loss and also Tanvi an Osteopath who helped fixed my aching, injured body. l highly recommend Vital Chi Wellness

Fantastic experience: Being overweight and with type 2 diabetes, I consulted with Alon at Vital Chi back in June (2018). A change in diet and lifestyle and 3 months later I was down to a healthy weight and almost off my diabetic medication, which I expect to be completely off in the new year. Most importantly though, I have not felt as well as I do right now for as long as I can remember. I found Alon to be extremely knowledgeable as well as very personable. I can't recommend Alon at Vital Chi highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Overall great experience

Fantastic experience: My 5 year-old daughter was suffering from Eczema. Daniel Treated her for about a year and now her skin is smooth and clear!!! He is very friendly and supportive throughout the year. I am very happy with the results. I definitely recommend the clinic to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Mafalda is fantastic! I've been coming to see her for massages for several years and always feel great afterwards.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Shiho for nearly 6 months. I found her really knowledgeable, caring, considerate and attention to detail. She is not just looking after the issue I have but also my “mindset” that she finds it connects to our body! She is like my soulmate who understands me a lot and gradually, she finds out the "cause" of my issue and tackle it with her treatment. I am really happy with her service and her positive energy :)

Fantastic experience: Vital Chi have been a real breath of fresh air in our search for consistent and wholesome healthcare. After years of issues with Gut Health my partner and I visited Shiho with really desperate intentions. Shiho worked hard and really dedicated her time and efforts to truly understanding our entire lifestyle and diet issues that were contributing to not only our Gut Health, but subsequently the effects this was having on our mental health and coping mechanisms. Shiho also helped me correct my hormonal imbalances which were leading to chronic mood swings and assisted in balancing a really wholesome physical and mental state. The supplements advised were always advised with a genuine need as opposed to a whim and we always saw results although sometimes it's a little deeper than on the surface. This meant that our immune systems were better equipped and we were able to manage life in general in a much better way. So much so that with our mind and bodies at ease we fell pregnant and now Shiho is helping us maintain a safe and happy pregnancy! I can't recommend the clinic or Shiho's services and her gentle, calming and nurturing persona and experience more. Well worth the 45min drive each time !! Thanks so much for a revitalised being xx

Fantastic experience: Lina is a credit to her industry. Lina has worked with me tirelessly to overcome multiple health issues, which have often seemed overwhelming and competing. Her personalised approach and attentiveness is so refreshing. As a client you are treated as a person, and not just a number with a health concern. She systematically compartmentalises each issue, explains everything in a logical manner and has a methodical approach to her suggested tests and treatments. Not only is Lina knowledgeable but what sets her apart is that she is always expanding her knowledge, she willing to investigate and deliberate before prescribing and is abreast of latest research. I believe these are fantastic qualities in a health professional as things change, new discoveries are made and no one professional can have all the answers. While Lina maintains the upmost professionalism Lina’s consultations feel like a catch up with a caring friend. Our health is the most important asset we have and I am thankful for having Lina working with me on mine.

Fantastic experience: I had a great massage at vital chi. The girls at reception were lovely and welcoming and I thought the cup of herbal tea on arrival was a lovely touch. I will be back.

Fantastic experience: I attended the Vitalchi in Blackburn due to experiencing pain in my lower neck causing dizziness. I had done a bit of research and a friend told me to try an Osteopath. The Osteopath at the clinic was very helpful in explaining the condition and put me on a program of needling and excercises. The program has assisted me greatly and was successful.
