More accessible naturopathic service
Sliding Scale Payment System
​At Naturovia, we believe that quality naturopathic care should be more accessible. Naturopathic interventions often involve consultations and assessments, and in some cases additional testing such as pathology, microbiome, or nutritional analysis may be recommended where appropriate. Supplements that including nutritional and herbal medicines are also commonly used alongside lifestyle changes. As these services and products are not covered by Medicare, the overall cost can sometimes be substantial.
To make care more accessible, Naturovia offers a Sliding Scale payment system for naturopathic consultations. This community-minded model recognises that people have different levels of access to financial resources at different times in their lives. Clients self-select their consultation fee within a set range based on what feels fair and sustainable for their circumstances.
Those with greater financial capacity may choose the higher end of the scale, helping make it possible for others to pay at the lower end — without compromising our ability to provide high-quality care. Paying toward the lower end acknowledges that you may currently have reduced resources and that affordable support is essential to your wellbeing.
Your position on the scale can change over time as life circumstances shift. There is no judgement and no expectation to explain where you select . We trust you to choose honestly what is manageable for you.
​
Our commitment is to inclusive, evidence-informed naturopathic healthcare, where accessibility and sustainability go hand in hand.
We acknowledge Monica Francia, founder of the Hop Valley Herb Farm naturopathic clinic in Blackwood Creek, Tasmania, whose work and values helped inspire our sliding-scale approach. Her focus on realistic, accessible support and sustainable, holistic health care closely aligns with our own philosophy, and we are grateful to carry these principles forward at Naturovia.
Currently Sayori’s availability to provide online naturopathic consultation is limited. However, if you require an appointment outside regular hours or on another day, please contact info@naturovia.com.au​. At Naturovia, we aim to offer accessible, compassionate care to fit your lifestyle when we can.
