Your Local Naturopath Atherton Tablelands

Backed by 30+ Years of Melbourne Experience – Delivered with Care in Ravenshoe

In 2023, we embraced a tree change and opened our second clinic in Ravenshoe, located in the beautiful Atherton Tablelands of Far North Queensland. Our original clinic – and still a busy one – is in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Now, clients across both regions benefit from the experience and dedication of our principal naturopath, Scott Hankinson, who travels between clinics to provide personal care at both ends of Australia.

You’ll find our Ravenshoe clinic tucked just behind Top of the Tablelands Real Estate, away from the bustle of Grigg Street. When you step inside, you’re welcomed into a calm, relaxing space where your healing journey begins.

Conditions We Treat

Scott has been in practice since 1995 and has supported thousands of clients with everything from complex chronic conditions to everyday wellness. His approach is always to find the root cause of illness – and support the body in healing itself.

We commonly see clients for:

• Fatigue and burnout
• Gut health issues including Crohn’s, colitis, diverticulitis, reflux, bloating, IBS
• Chronic pain – back, neck, shoulders, joints
• Headaches and migraines
• Anxiety, stress, insomnia, mood imbalances
• Hormonal issues including thyroid, menopause, fertility
• Food sensitivities, hayfever, immune dysfunction
• Skin issues, including eczema and dermatitis
• Circulatory and nervous system problems

Gut health is a particular focus at our clinic – in fact, around 60% of our clients seek support for digestive complaints. Scott developed a strong reputation in Melbourne for helping those with conditions that mainstream medicine often struggles to manage.

Naturopath Atherton Tablelands Services

At our Ravenshoe clinic, we offer the following:

• Naturopathic consultations
• Neuro Needling
• Electrodermal (bioresonance) testing using the Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) and Bioimaging Frequency Scanning
• Microscopic Blood Evaluation (as an optional add-on to your initial consultation)
• Nutritional and herbal medicine
• Targeted clinical testing when needed

What is Neuro Needling?

Developed by Scott himself, Neuro Needling is a highly effective technique that blends principles from acupuncture, reflexology, shiatsu and energy medicine. While Scott is qualified in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, he now focuses solely on Neuro Needling – a unique and powerful modality that supports nervous system regulation, pain relief, and emotional balance.
