DANNA ELHASSADI
PAEDIATRIC & WOMEN'S HEALTH NATUROPATH
Danna is a clinical naturopath with a strong focus on paediatric care and women’s health, supporting infants, children, adolescents, and women across all reproductive life stages.
Her clinical approach is shaped by a rigorous foundation in biomedical science. Danna completed a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Pre-Medicine) at the University of Technology Sydney before undertaking her Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). This background allows her to work confidently with complex presentations, understand pathology and conventional treatment pathways, and deliver care that is both integrative and clinically grounded.
Danna is known for her ability to connect easily with both parents and children, creating a calm, reassuring environment where concerns are taken seriously and addressed thoughtfully. She takes time to understand the full picture — biological, developmental, and environmental — rather than chasing isolated symptoms.

Services
Paediatric Naturopathic Consultations
-
During your child’s first consultation, Danna will take a gentle and comprehensive case history. This includes a review of your child’s medical background, growth and developmental milestones, any recent pathology results, and the symptoms or concerns that have brought you in. This helps Danna form a complete picture of your child’s current health, constitution, temperament, diet, lifestyle, and the environmental factors that may be influencing their wellbeing.
Paediatric naturopathic assessments such as observing the tongue, nails, skin, digestion patterns, and overall vitality may also be included. Throughout the consultation, Danna will work closely with you to understand your priorities for your child and develop a supportive, family-centred plan.
Your child’s personalised treatment plan may include nutritional support, gentle paediatric-safe supplements, customised herbal medicines, or flower essences. If supportive, Danna may also recommend allied health referrals to ensure your child receives the most comprehensive care. All prescriptions are created with careful consideration of any medications or supplements your child is currently taking.
If relevant to your child’s presentation, functional pathology testing may be suggested to further guide treatment.
Please note: any supplements or functional testing recommended are an additional cost. -
Initial consultations take anywhere from 60 to 75 minutes depending on your child’s needs. Standard follow-up consultations run for 30 minutes, while Extended follow-ups run for 45 minutes. The most suitable follow-up schedule for your child will be guided by Danna.

Adult Naturopathic Consultations
-
Your initial naturopathic consultation is a comprehensive first appointment designed to understand your health concerns, history, and goals in depth. Danna will take the time to explore your symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, stress levels, and relevant medical background to form a clear picture of what’s going on for you.
From this session, a personalised treatment plan will be developed, which may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, herbal or nutritional support, and, where appropriate, functional pathology testing or referrals.
Follow-up appointments usually occur 2–3 weeks after the initial consultation. These sessions are used to review your treatment plan, assess your progress, and discuss what’s working well and what may need adjusting. If any pathology testing was undertaken, results will be explained and incorporated into the next phase of care. Health goals may be refined, and further testing or referrals may be recommended if needed.
Danna will advise whether a Regular or Extended follow-up appointment is most suitable, depending on your individual needs.
