Supporting GPs, Specialists, and veterinary practitioners with in-depth case analysis and functional testing interpretation.  

Christine Barnes, M.Well.

With a Masters Degree in Wellness from RMIT University, an extensive background in advanced natural therapies, and over 15 years of clinical work, the focus of my work has moved from general naturopathic and nutritional care to advanced pathology interpretation and root cause treatment planning.

With a deep understanding of the drivers of illness I have built a reputation as being the "go to" practitioner when nobody else can locate the underlying problem or interpret what is happening with a stubborn case. 

I thrive on piecing together medical anomalies to locate hidden drivers to enable treatment to be tailored to a specific patient's needs.
