Melbourne Holistic Health Group

The clinic, originally known as the Clifton Hill Natural Therapies Centre, was started by Ruth Trickey in 1980 and rapidly grew to incorporate a wide variety of complementary medicine practitioners. In 2000 we moved to our present location in Station St Fairfield, changed our name and became Melbourne Holistic Health Group (MHHG).

We have an established reputation for providing sound, evidence-based advice; and for working collaboratively within the current medical paradigm. The practitioners at Melbourne Holistic Health Group (MHHG) use a holistic model of care to optimise health and wellbeing with a focus on disease prevention & education. We maintain a high standard of practice and regularly undertake further studies to extend our knowledge base. In addition, we run monthly in-house educational sessions for our practitioners with guest speakers from a variety of specialist backgrounds.

At MHHG we use conventional diagnostic techniques to assess and diagnose our patientsâ?? conditions. We can offer Western or Chinese herbal medicine and Acupuncture; and our naturopathic approach is evidence-based where possible. We treat a wide range of medical disorders and practice preventative medicine at all ages and through all life stages.

MHHG is principally a naturopathy and herbal medicine clinic (we prescribe both Chinese & Western herbs) focusing on the attainment of optimal health through appropriate diet, lifestyle & herbal interventions. Practitioners at MHHG have developed a reputation for expertise in the management of gynaecological and obstetric disorders. We have a collaborative approach and frequently work with practitioners from other medical disciplines to optimise treatment outcomes for our patients.
