I received a wonderful massage from Gabriella earlier this month. It was a 45 minute session that focused on my back, neck and shoulders. Her technique was a mixture of acupressure and Swedish massage with oil. Gabriella had the strength to really push through the many knots in my back but also eased off at times allowing me to relax and enjoy it. The setting at Herbaceous was peaceful; complete with calming music and mellow scents.
Gabriella took keen note of the parts of my body that were tense or tender. At the end of the session she not only alerted me to these areas but gave me stretches and exercises to do in my own time to help these sore points. For me, this demonstrated an exceptional level of service - Gabriella not only provided an excellent massage but also additional information to improve my health going forward. I wholly recommend Gabriella for anyone looking for a professional, beneficial and enjoyable massage.

I first went to see Gabriella at Herbaceous at a time when I was juggling a lot of responsibilities and feeling rather stressed. My sleep was really bad, and I was suffering from restless legs, a bit of anxiety and generally just feeling a bit scattered. The consultation was fantastic, Gabriella is very empathetic and intuitive. The herbs I was prescribed were just marvelous, they made me feel like I was being given a hug on the inside. They helped be to regain focus, quieten my mind and improve my sleep. I would highly recommend Herbaceous.

I started seeing Gabriella a few months ago as I was feeling stressed/tired and not sleeping well. I found her to be very approachable and easy to chat too, and our consults were very comprehensive (not to mention the lovely herbal tea mixes always on offer!). I liked that the supplements and the dietary suggestions were all tailored specifically to me and my requirements (not like a standard plan/detox which I had experienced in the past). Now I have more energy during the day and I'm sleeping much better! I would definitely recommend Gab and a visit to Herbaceous.

I first met Gabriella when I wandered into Herbaceous looking for help with exploring meditation to calm my over anxious mind. That was over a year ago. Since then I have been on quite a journey of self discovery with Gab as a guide & friend. She has supported me with her knowledge & expertise in naturopathy as well as meditation. I always feel cared for when I've been to Herbaceous. Gab is so gentle & nurturing & has a very calm & peaceful way of helping you to help yourself, which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend Gabriella & Herbaceous.

My 5 yr old daughter and I met Gabe for an introductory session of meditation tailored specifically for the needs of a little girl. It was a warm, gentle, creative experience which my daughter responded to with great interest. Gabe is a passionate professional, perceptive and encouraging. I would highly recommend her meditation sessions for children, to any parent.

Approximate cost: $120+

Work related anxiety and Stress!!!!!! And now on work care. My choices were meditation or medication. Not a difficult choice! I tried the meds but didn't feel myself, nor did I feel the urge to be on meds for long term and was fearful of addiction.
Earlier this year, having had my meltdown, I found myself standing in front of my car, ready to leave a counselling session for the above mentioned ailments, (nearby), looked up and saw the Herbaceous sign, offering meditation. Walked in, met Gabriella, enrolled and haven't looked back. 6 week course - amazing. Am now able to manage the insomnia which I've suffered from due to work stresses for over a year (in 6 classes) I am signing up again to continue working on managing the anxiety - Gabriella is confidential, and her work is undeniably the best medicine for me. I also suffered from regular headaches and migraines and have only had 2 headaches in 4 months. I'm convinced of her capacity to support anyone that has or is suffering from similar ailments. My GP and Counsillor are equally impressed and I will ask them to contribute their validation on my behalf. I'm adding this point because its important to acknowledge that your GP knows what's best and mine was thrilled when I handed the meds back. He's confident that I'm in good hands. Same with my Counsillor. I am feeling so much better and on the path to recovery.

Such a lovely, easy experience. Gab is just so calming and you really feel like you are being treated as an individual with specific needs. Gab seems to really be able to hone in on what you need, even if you don't. Also dog friendly which makes for a relaxed and homey vibe. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend a visit to Herbaceous for anyone looking for a holistic healing experience. Gab is a lovely person, and spends a lot of time and patience in getting to know you and treating the root cause of your ailment. I found relief and improvement in my condition within a month. Gab genuinely cares about helping you feel better and her calm relaxed persona while interacting with you is soothing in itself.

Gab at Herbaceous offers a really personal and flexible service. You get the sense that she genuinely cares about you and how you are - you are not just another client to get through in half an hour. I was really unwell when I went to her and am now healthy and happy and feeling great - and I can bring my dog with me!

I have found Gab' to be a very genuine and calming influence on my life each week. She is very well educated, is always researching more answers and you never feel like you're being pushed out the door when you're done. She goes at your pace and was born to be a masseuse - she is truly amazing!

Approximate cost: $60 for a 45 minute massage

After my 7 year old daughter was having trouble getting to sleep, i booked her into one of Gabi's meditation for kids classes. Straight after the first session, i noticed how calm she was and with the help of her special herbal tea after school, she is sleeping so well and the dramas before bed have been avoided. She just loves the classes and wants to continue with them now. A skill she will now have for life. Gabi was very welcoming and the kids just warmed to her instantly.

I went to see Gabriella after doing some regression work which really complemented my overall treatment plan. I am gradually feeling much better and each week, I notice a difference to my level of health. My goal is long term and I am on track after just a few weeks. Gabriella is professional, listens to everything I say and looks at my health in a completely holistic way.

I went to Gabriella because my local GP could not offer any solution to my ongoing cough. Within 2 weeks I started to feel much better. Gabriella is very attentive and asks many questions and actually listens to your answers which is a rare experience these days at the doctors. I would highly recommend a consultation with Gabriella for any ailments.

I went to see Gabriella at Herbaceous for a pregnancy massage recently. She's trained in this kind of massage, so I felt in safe hands. The massage was done in really comfortable positions for pregnancy, and also in a comfortable setting. The massage itself was excellent.

Thrilled with my Herbaceous experience. Gab was extremely thorough and a great listener who was keen to understand my lifestyle, health concerns and personal needs and desires. Her approach was very real and practical. She instilled in me a great confidence about the new health plan she devised for me.

Even a simple massage is approached with a holistic experience in mind. I was 8.5 months pregnant, and Gabe took great pains to ensure I was comfortable and relaxed and that my needs were met completely.

Gabe is obviously passionate about what she does and this shows in her knowledge, professionalism and advice. I was referred to Gabe to help with a specific problem. She enabled me to see that I needed to take a holistic approach to my health. This along with her dietary advice and homeopathic treatments has delivered great results. I have had 3 consultations now and intend to see Gabe again.

Going to Gabe has been one of the best experiences of my life. She change my relationship with my body and food and the knowledge I have gained from seeing her will benefit me for the rest of my life. Gabe is professional, consistent and in depth and her prices are very reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone who is considering seeing a Naturopath.
