Horsham’s Thrive Health Clinic will launch The Herb Bar next month, a first point-of- call, walk-in clinic for natural health care – coinciding with its second birthday. 

Already boasting a range of holistic treatments including naturopathy, reiki, and reflexology, clinic founder and naturopath Ebony Jordan said The Herb Bar’s mini naturopathic consults would cater to acute health concerns.

“It’s more for things like cold and flu, stress and anxiety, sleep issues, gastro, and new health concerns,” she said.

“People can simply walk in and ask for a mini consult, complete an intake form, and have a 15-minute chat to a qualified naturopath in our clinic reception to receive safe and effective health advice and a personalised supplement prescription from $29.95. 

“Bookings can also be made ahead of time via our website, calling or messaging us at Thrive Health Clinic.”

Officially launching on March 3, The Herb Bar will be open Monday to Thursday, 9am to 2pm.

“We’re trying to make quality, practitioner-grade natural health supplements and herbal tonics more accessible and affordable for the community,” Ms Jordan said. 

“We understand that not everyone can afford a full consultation, and not everybody has a complex health condition that they’re wanting to use natural health services for.”

Naturopaths will allow 15 minutes for each client, taking information, cross-checking medications and health history to ensure safe, personalist prescriptions.

“If somebody came in and they did have a more complex health condition, like a long-term hormonal condition, then we would triage them and refer them for a full consultation with a qualified naturopath,” Ms Jordan. 

After working alongside Hosham pharmacist and herbalist Des Lardner, Ms Jordan branched out into her own space to see a small number of clients. 

She said her business quickly expanded into a multimodality clinic, including naturopaths Carla Hendy and Emily Grieger, reiki master and naturopath Josephine Pummeroy, reflexologist and remedial massage therapist Tanya Hogan, Krisanda Lloyd, who offers ear candling, foot detox baths, and infrared sauna, and receptionist and student naturopath Adele Reardon. “We are driven by our core values of connection, collaboration and community,” Ms Jordan said.

“Our team is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our local community.”

The clinic is open from 9am to 2pm five days a week; for more information and to book an appointment, people can visit www.thrivehealthclinic.com.au or call 0493 671 773.
