Last year I decided to book an appointment with Marnie, when feeling particularly tired and run down. I had been experiencing a range of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms for about three years, including persistent anxiety and insomnia. I had seen a range of health professionals over this time, but my sleeping hadn’t really improved and my immune system was suffering.
Marnie was very thorough and developed a comprehensive and holistic understanding of my health and lifestyle. She then created a very detailed treatment plan, which included diet and lifestyle suggestions as well as a range of herbal and nutritional supplements. Marnie also took the time to properly explain what was happening in my body and why – for example explaining the relationship between menopause and adrenal function.
Marnie’s treatment has supported me through some significantly stressful periods over the past year. In this time, my sleep, anxiety, and overall wellbeing have all definitely improved. Perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms can often be debilitating, poorly understood, and ineffectively treated. Marnie has made me feel really supported and understood throughout all of my treatment.
Good luck with the birthing!

I have been seeing Marnie for the past two years with sleeping issues. Once that was resolved, we worked on getting my weight issues under control. I am now consulting Marnie regarding menopause.
Marnie is so easy to deal with and always listens to my concerns in an understanding and compassionate way. I feel coming to see Marnie is like spending time with a girlfriend (minus the wine). I would highly recommend Marnie to anyone facing the onset of menopause and in fact, any other health related issues.

I rang Marnie to discuss burnout and go on a natural medicine/nutrition plan to bring back my spark.
After key questions, Marnie leant in and smiled, "Oh sweetheart, this sounds like you are perimenopausal! Welcome to the next wonderful chapter of your life where you see what is real, realise you don't need to put up with what is not right for you and you get to be your true self."
I was floored - how could I be here so quickly?? (It felt like I just had my 21st birthday - I am 46 - but it felt like 21 was yesterday!!) After Marnie let the words settled she started to go through what the body and mind would be doing over the next few years. Hearing it, I was fascinated and felt liberated. I didn't have an illness - I was growing up!!
Marnie's blueprint to moving into this next phase of womanhood has given me renewed energy; I feel grounded and relaxed and most importantly happy in my own skin.

I have been a client of Marnie’s now for several years and continually recommend her to family and friends. I love the realistic and down to earth approach Marnie has to wellbeing and the results from her programmes are incredible. During a recent detox programme I had a friend comment that I looked 10 years younger…. got to love that!!

I enjoy seeing Marnie, the conversation is a tonic. Actually I have a great tonic that Marnie made up for me. Marnie listens and then suggests.
Any supplements are specific and for a particular duration. Sometimes I might not visit for a month or so but when I return Marnie is there to support and advise.
I also enjoyed listening to Marnie on RTRFM, sharing her knowledge beyond the usual confines of a practitioner, with humour and humanity.
Marnie is practical and grounded but underlying is a spirituality and compassion for other human beings.

Just when I was throwing all my frustrations at a wall, I found a light in you. Am I glad I scrolled through the page of naturopaths near me & to have found you! It’s taken a few months but your patience & faith has given me back my life. My years of insomnia, anxiety & depression are turning into happy days! I’m feeling more energetic and enjoying my being. Thank you so much 🙏

I decided that feeling overweight, sluggish and unmotivated was not where I wanted to be as I was about to turn 50. So I made an appointment to see Marnie.
I met with Marnie and we talked. We talked for a long time. She asked questions about not just today, but my yesterdays and what I wanted for my tomorrows.
Marnie listened. She prescribed me a 6 week plan to work on my gut health, my head and my body. The changes seemed huge at the time, but were easy to manage and the results were instant.
I no longer had pain or hardness in my stomach, I had more energy and I had what I needed; someone to be accountable to, who understood me and the changes in my peri-menopausal body.
I have recommended Marnie Downer Health to many people since, and will continue to do so.
