Frequently Asked Questions
What happens on my first visit?
During the consultation, I will ask you several questions, feel your pulse in your wrist, and examine your tongue as I conduct an evaluation. Both are very good at determining your health status. After discussing the findings, I will address your primary health concern or most bothersome symptoms and offer some suggestions. One can treat Multiple conditions simultaneously; however, sometimes the primary condition needs to be treated first (otherwise, one has to take too many supplements).
You will be given strategies and a health plan detailing suggestions for resolving your complaints.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring the results of any medical tests or diagnoses that you may have, including what medications or supplements you are taking. The first session is to get you going on a program and the second session is on follow up and adjustment to your health program. Preferably wear loose, comfortable clothing and loose sleeves as I may take your blood pressure.
How many consultations do i need?
I work in a structured 4-week care cycle. In the first month, we focus on stabilising your primary symptoms. By the time we reach your follow-up, we usually move from "crisis management" to consolidation, where we strengthen your system to ensure your health improvements are sustainable and long-term. On going treatment is based on progress rather than a pre -determined number of visits
Can i use Naturopathy alongside my GP or specialist care ?
Absolutely. Integrated Health is the safest way forward. As a Professional Medical Herbalist and Naturopath, I am trained to cross-reference all natural prescriptions with your current pharmaceutical medications. My goal is to support your body's recovery safely, ensuring there are no herb-drug-nutrient interactions while working in harmony with your Medical team
What is Medical pulse and Tongue diagnosis and why do you use it ?
Medical Pulse diagnosis is a sophisticated assessment skill that provides real-time data about your internal state. While blood tests show a snapshot in time, the pulse reveals the functional flow of your nervous system, digestion, and circulation. It provides a system's feedback on how your body is coping with internal or external stressors. Pulse Diagnosis allows me to tailor your Naturopathic Treatment plan with a level of precision that symptoms alone cannot provide. Medical Tongue Diagnosis provides extra insight into what is happening in your digestive system and is used alongside Pulse Diagnosis to pinpoint imbalances in organ systems of the body .
Are your services covered by Health funds?
Naturopathy is covered by some Health funds so please check with your fund as to wether you can claim the Naturopathic service
Can i have a consultation by Telehealth?
Definitely! Telehealth is offered Monday- Saturday and is especially useful for follow-up consultations. Follow-up service fees apply.
How are my Herbal Medicines prepared and supplied?
Your individual herbal formula is prepared off-site at one of our designated Dispensaries. We double-check prescriptions against safety standards and availability. They will be shipped to you by postal delivery, or you may collect them at Kokoro. Delivery times vary, but presciptions are prepared within 24 hours after the consultation.
Will i need to take a lot of supplements ?
No! Using too many supplements can hinder healing. At the clinic, we dispense herbs in a Herbal formula specifically customised to your health condition based on your health analysis. This approach is effective and can help correct multiple imbalances at once. Naturally, when your condition improves, options such as capsules and pills may be more appropriate for long-term use if you prefer
What My Clients Say About Me

I called Peter to ask about employment pathways into naturopathy. Peter was extremely helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and generous with his time. The next time I need health care, i will not hesitate to book a consultation with himPosted on Google
Loretta HarperI initially went to Peter for his assistance with feelings of fatigue, cholesterol increase, insomnia and inflammation in my body. Peter carried out a tongue and pulse assessment. He also analysed my diet and health history. From this assessment Peter provided me with an evaluation, personalised herbal medicine remedy, nutritional plan and advice on supplements. I noticed a remarkable change in my sleep pattern, energy levels and sense of wellbeing within the first week of taking the herbal medicine. Peter is very experienced, informative and has a calm and approachable manner. Peter follows up on all matters and I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter as a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist to my friends and family.Posted on Google
Florence LeviaI've seen alternative health practitioners for 40 years. Rarely have I come across one who has such a broad wealth of knowledge that covers both Eastern and Western herbology, Chinese (and Ayurvedic) medicine, along with an understanding of the labs and drugs that Western medicine tends to use. The pulses he takes and how he assesses a person by looking at the ears and both sides of the tongue, was eerily 100% accurate! He was a kind and thoughtful listener, gave several options for a plan (cognizant that finances were not unlimited) , and followed up by email with extra information. In one session he has won my confidence and trust, and I look forward to working with him.Posted on Google
Michelle SkehanI have been seeing Peter Farnsworth Naturopath for many years. He is by far the most knowledgeable, empathetic & compassionate person within the natural well being arena. He has such genuine care for his patients & offers an extensive informative treatment plan. I highly recommend Peter for anyone seeking a natural approach to any health issues.Posted on Google
Patricia FerreiraAfter struggling with my daughter’s eczema, nothing worked until we saw Peter. Within short time her skin started to clear and we have found relief. Highly recommend Peter.Posted on Google
jo farmgirl100I went to see Peter to clarify diet after being prescribed cholesterol medication. Peter listened to my concerns and came up with ways to help reduce cholesterol, Peter also recommended a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test, which I did and am thankful for because it found that I am low/deficient in several essential minerals, but also found that there is low level arsenic and cadmium toxicity, both are carcinogenic. Peter provided a program for me to follow to detoxify. Peter also spent time in following up via email consolidating what was discussed in my appointment. I would recommend Peter as he is caring and thoughtful wanting the best outcome for his clients.Posted on Google
Aita AghdasiI saw Peter a few weeks ago and honestly left feeling so supported, seen, and understood. He has such a calm and reassuring presence, and he really took the time to listen, not just to my symptoms, but to me as a whole person. His knowledge is incredible, and he explains things in a way that actually makes sense. I felt empowered, not overwhelmed. Peter made me feel like I was in safe, capable hands and gave me a treatment plan that felt totally tailored to my needs. I’ve already noticed a shift in how I feel, both physically and emotionally. So grateful I found him, highly recommend to anyone looking for a naturopath who truly cares.Posted on Google

Sue YeatesFriendly welcoming atmosphere, Peter was very thorough and informative. Hair sample testing gave a lot of information that was explained well. I liked that Peter was not pushy with taking supplements and was very conscious of the costs and willing to start small and work with me based on what I felt I could manage. Highly recommendPosted on Google
