Children’s Health
Perth Health and Fertility is recognised in Perth as one of the leading Naturopathic Clinics for the treatment of children. Due to our success in the treatment of Fertility issues it is often said that we ‘breed our own patients’ as very often the beautiful babies we help conceive stay part of our clinic family as we continue to look after them through childhood and beyond.
We treat all ages of children from infants through to teenagers.
Babies
We are often referred in young babies for the treatment of colic, reflux and gastrointestinal upsets. All of our Naturopaths have years of experience treating children as well as the compassion of being mothers themselves. We are all passionate believers in giving the best start possible to our young patients. This includes covering Introduction to Solids in depth with Mum and Dad when a child is ready to explore the world of food. Getting off to a good start is so important for future health.
Children
Our practitioners treat a wide variety of paediatric conditions and regularly attend seminars to stay up to date with the most current global research on children’s health. Childhood conditions we commonly treat

- Anxiety/Depression
- Behavioural problems
- Poor focus and concentration
