Nathan Forbes, naturopath at Natures Concepts in Gledswood Hills

Meet your naturopath

Hi, I’m Nathan Forbes

I’ve been practising naturopathy in the Macarthur region for over twenty years. Most of the people I see have been feeling off for a long time and haven’t had a clear answer about why.

My job is to take a proper history, work out what’s likely contributing, and build a plan you can actually follow — not hand you a bag of supplements and send you on your way.

How it works

Step one

Book online

Choose a time that suits you through the online booking system, or call the clinic to talk it through first.

Step two

Initial consultation

A thorough, unhurried 40 minute conversation about your health history and goals, in clinic or by telehealth.

Step three

Your personalised plan

Clear, realistic recommendations that fit your household, with follow ups to support you along the way.

Herbal medicine

From garden to remedy

Food comes first

Changes to what you eat are always the starting point.

Practitioner only extracts

Professional grade herbal liquids and tablets.

Blended for you

Formulas are made up for the individual, not pulled off a shelf.

Checked against your medications

Every formula is checked before it is dispensed.

Every plan starts with a conversation.

Who I help

Care for every stage of family life

Whether you’re booking for yourself, your child or the whole household, the starting point is the same: a long conversation and a proper history.

Feeding, digestion, settling and early nutritional foundations.

Children and teenagers

Immunity, fussy eating, skin, sleep and steady development.

Women

Hormonal health, cycle support and everyday vitality.

Fertility and pregnancy

Preconception, pregnancy nutrition and postpartum recovery.

Adults

Energy regulation, digestion support, stress management, immunity and preventative health.

The whole family

Practical strategies for every age, under one roof.

Before you book

Children with additional needs

Many of the children who come to the clinic have been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or developmental delay by a doctor, paediatrician or psychologist. Those families are very welcome here, and Nathan has seen a great many of them over twenty years of practice.

It is worth being plain about what an appointment is. Naturopathy does not treat, change, reverse or cure autism, ADHD or developmental delay, and a consultation here is not a substitute for the care your child already receives. What an appointment covers is everyday ground-level health that any child may need help with — feeding difficulties, a very limited range of foods, constipation and broken sleep.

Nathan works alongside your paediatrician, GP and wider support team — never instead of them — and will refer on where something falls outside naturopathic practice. He will not advise you to stop, reduce or change any medication your child has been prescribed. If you’re not sure whether an appointment would be useful, call the clinic and ask before you book.

Adults living with stress and anxiety

Many adults come to the clinic under sustained stress or anxiety and feeling depleted — sleeping poorly, eating on the run, relying on caffeine to get through the week. Nathan brings more than twenty years of clinical practice to these consultations, beginning with a thorough case history taken at an unhurried pace. The focus is the physical foundations underneath: sleep quality, meal patterns and blood sugar, digestion, caffeine and alcohol intake, and nutritional status.

Naturopathy does not treat, diagnose or cure anxiety, depression or any other mental health condition, and Nathan works alongside your GP or psychologist rather than in place of them. He will refer on where something falls outside naturopathic practice, and will not advise you to alter any prescribed medication.

The approach

A whole-family approach to lasting wellbeing

Health is interconnected within a family — supporting one member very often benefits the entire household. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, every consultation is tailored to the individual, taking into account health history, lifestyle and personal goals.

Areas of support

Digestive health for children and adults
Immune system support and frequent colds
Nutritional deficiencies and diet optimisation
Energy and fatigue
Women’s hormonal health
Preconception, pregnancy and postpartum
Stress and lifestyle balance
Skin health
General wellbeing and preventative care

NET consultation

Telehealth consultations are charged at the same rates — $175 for an initial appointment, $80 for a follow-up. NET appointments involve hands-on muscle testing, so those are in person only. Herbal and nutritional formulas are dispensed separately and charged at cost.

Naturopathy became eligible for private health extras rebates again from 1 July 2025, and Nathan is a recognised CMA provider — check your own level of cover, and see Fees & FAQ for more detail.

Common questions

Before you book

What are Nathan’s qualifications?

Nathan received his Diploma of Naturopathy in October 2003 from the College of Somatic Studies, and has been in practice for over twenty years.

He is also a certified NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) and NIS (Neurological Integration System) practitioner.

Nathan is a full member of the Complementary Medicine Association (CMA), which sets professional standards and a code of conduct for its members.

What do I need to do before my first appointment?

You’ll be sent a Wellness Check Questionnaire when you book. Please complete it and email it back to nathan@naturesconcepts.com.au before you come in.

It matters more than it might sound. The questionnaire is what lets Nathan structure the appointment around you rather than spending the first twenty minutes gathering basics, so please don’t arrive without having sent it.

If you can, also bring any recent pathology results and a list of the medications and supplements you’re currently taking.

Can I see Nathan by telehealth?

Yes. Naturopathic consultations can be done by video or phone, at the same fees and appointment lengths as coming into the clinic. Choose the telehealth option when you book and you’ll be sent the details beforehand.

NET appointments involve hands-on muscle testing, so those need to be in person.

Telehealth suits follow-ups particularly well, and it’s worth considering if you’re outside the Macarthur area or getting to Gledswood Hills isn’t practical. Any herbal or nutritional formulas Nathan dispenses can be posted to you.

Do you see babies and young children?

Yes. Nathan sees babies, children and teenagers, including those who have been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or developmental delay by a doctor, paediatrician or psychologist. Those babies, children, teenagers and families are welcome here. Naturopathic care doesn’t treat, change or cure these diagnoses — Nathan’s role is to support general wellbeing alongside your child’s paediatrician, psychologist or specialist, not instead of them. With that in mind, he provides care adapted to each stage: feeding and settling for infants, and immunity, fussy eating, skin and sleep as children get older.
