“It is my mission to share the knowledge we so desperately need in order to embrace and love everything that makes us femininely divine”

— Ilene Gardner - Naturopath, Creator of WonderWomb

The entire consultation structure at WonderWomb has been developed for women who desire focused testing, programs and support for healthy hormones.  The majority of our ladies are seeking support for:

When you make a booking for an Initial Consultation you will receive via 2 emails, the link to WonderWomb New Patient Information Session as well as a full Health Appraisal Questionnaire .  This is the beginning of your journey into hormonal wellness and has been designed specifically to  unravel the jigsaw that is your unique hormonal "fingerprint" and uncover the clues as to what may be driving your individual symptoms.  

Within a consultation you will spend time with Naturopath & WonderWomb creator, Ilene Gardner - to find out more about Ilene, please read on below “About Ilene”

 

What To Expect:

Initial Consultation & Discovery Session 1hr — $159

Firstly I sit and listen.  It is essential for me to gain an understanding of who you are, your story & your lifestyle.  Having already completed your online WonderWomb New Patient Info Session we are able to really focus on the areas of your health and cycle that need attention and are of the highest priority. 

During this consultation, if you are in the WonderWomb clinc, if indicated, we may perform one or more screening processes, including Live Blood Analysis, Zinc testing, Body Composition Analysis and Quantum Reflex Analysis. 

If necessary, we will discuss and order Functional Pathology testing where appropriate (note, this also applies to Skype Consultations & Functional Pathology Testing is at an additional cost to the patient).

Nutritional and or Herbal Medicines may or may not be prescribed in this consultation.

WonderWomb Education Session & Individualised Report of Findings & Treatment Plan 45 mins - $119

Your second consultation is where your individual hormone education begins.  We focus in on exactly what you need to do in the coming weeks/months to restore your hormonal health.  This includes the WonderWomb healthy eating program as well as what foods you specifically should include in what amounts or perhaps avoid, depending on what was uncovered in the initial consultation.  

We will look at both your macro and micro nutrition and lifestyle factors influencing your cycle and overall health.

You will receive a WonderWomb Patient Folder, containing your health screening results and your health plan so that you have a clear vision of what to do and how to achieve the hormone wellness you are seeking.

It is likely at this point you will be prescribed natural medicines and these are at an additional cost to your consultation.

WONDERWOMB WOMB MASSAGE & HEALING SESSION

- 45 MINUTES - $89

The Womb Massage & Healing Session is all about the moving of congestion, energetic and physical, within the uterus, moving congested/stagnated blood, improving blood flow to this area, and working with the meridians and energetic points that provide the womb with the nourishment it needs to heal on a deeper level. This session is an experience of warmth and deep healing.

Included in the session is a combination of womb massage (using essential oils specific to the womans’ symptoms and history), moxa therapy, castor oil packing, clay packing, heat packing & wrapping, The combination needed may be different for each woman. Highly Recommended.

WonderWomb Balance Care Follow Up Appointment

- 30 minutes - $89

You can book in for a Balance Care Follow Up Appointment any time you like after your second consultation.  These 30 minute consultations are used for "tweaking" where you are at.  You may wish to discuss your food program, or your symptoms have improved or changed and you feel it is a good time to review your supplement program.  These are great appointments to make every 8 - 12 weeks and bring in the details of your cycle for review, for example, are you ovulating, is the amount of blood or length of your cycle now normal etc.  

WonderWomb Re-Testing & Check In Session (Recommended every 12 weeks) - 45 minutes - $119

Just like a Follow Up Appointment but this consultation includes the screening tests performed in the Initial Consultation.  It is a great way to see how far you have come in your journey as well as objectively measuring your progress and how successful your treatment has been.

WonderWomb consultations are approved for Private Health Fund Rebates.  You simply provide your receipt of consultation to your private health fund and they will process it for you.

Rest assured, where ever you may be on your journey, WonderWomb will meet you there.

About ilene gardner - Naturopath/womens’ healer

1533272024323+%282%29.jpg

Ilene qualified with a Bachelor Degree in Health Science Naturopathy 17 years ago. This involved intensive studies in Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy, Anatomy & Physiology & Biochemistry, Plant medicine Manufacture, Massage, Counselling, Flower Essences & Energetic Medicine & Plant Pharmacology.

I have also trained in Live Blood Microscopy, Vitality Longevity & Anti-Ageing Medicine, Quantum Reflex Analysis, Functional Medicine & Pathology and attended many International Congress of Natural Medicine events as well as on-going Practitioner trainings.

Over the years I have worked in private practice, for corporate health companies and in beautiful retail settings. I have worked with most practitioners on an education and support level from Lismore to Bundaberg and carry extensive knowledge on numerous testing and consultation methods.

I live in the beautiful hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, with my loving and supportive husband and two absolutely gorgeous children. My parents live near-by and we have a very close relationship - this sense of family and community we believe is an essential part of our health and happiness :-)

Since I was 18 and discovering my own body and methods to manage my fertility, I have had a strong passion to learn and share this information with other women.

Recently, after some truly impressive results with patients suffering from intense pain, very heavy bleeding, spotting, some with fibroids, others with endometriosis and others with no period at all, I decided it was time to step up to my calling and dedicate my practice and skills solely to improving and supporting womens’ health - and I have not looked back…

a letter from ilene to you

To All the Women Seeking Truth & Connection,

I have women in my life, family and friends who have struggled, many for different reasons with their hormones and reproductive health.  Some have spent a week or two every month bed-ridden with heavy bleeding and pain, others not able to fall pregnant when they finally felt it was their time to experience the joy of pregnancy and parenthood, and then there are the unplanned pregnancies and the difficult decisions women face in these times, the crippling nature of hormone-related anxiety and depression, breast and uterine cancers, the on-going challenge of contraception, hormonal headaches and migraines, the early years of menstruation and trying to understand the changes to our bodies, or the later years of once again morphing into another hormonal phase in our lives..... 

I know you know women like this too.... women you love.  How do I know this?  It is so common yet often not spoken about.  We feel embarrassed and ashamed that we are “not normal”, “not healthy”. What makes us uniquely feminine carries strong emotion and energy and physical symptoms as this aspect of ourselves is also intertwined with our identity. It affects not only us but all whom we surround ourselves with, including Lovers, family, friends and fellow workers…Everyone…but most of all…our relationship with ourselves.

Many women feel that their options for treatment are limited or too invasive.  The challenges we are facing with our hormones are on the rise, and as the hormonal related dis-ease statistics grow higher we find ourselves in a hormone disrupting bath without the knowledge of how to make it right again.  This is what WonderWomb is...  This is the meeting place for all women, no matter your story.  I look forward to hearing yours.

Sincerely, Ilene x o x
