"Helping you feel lighter and brighter, calmer and wiser!"
While Om does most of her ongoing herbal prescribing and nutrition education in conjunction with her counselling, coaching and therapy consults, anyone seeking basic herbal or nutritional help to address a medical problem is encouraged to start here, with the Herbs & Nutrition consult.
For clients local to Darwin NT, choose this consult type if you want an iridology reading.
We now provide online prescription repeats so that you can reorder your remedies and have them posted out to you without needing another appointment.
We're also providing medical testing via Nutripath, giving you access to over 250 different kinds ofspecialised Functional Tests.
Before making your booking, please note that this consult type does not include any psychic reading/healing, aside from what happens accidentally when Om is reading the iris (she can't switch that part of herself off when she's reading the eye!).

HERBAL MEDICINE
Omanisa dedicates these consults to the gathering of your medical case history, interviewing you about your past, your family medical history and your symptoms. She will ask you what makes your condition worse, and what makes it better, and she will need to know about any other medical conditions or medications you are taking. All of this information helps Om create a herbal prescription best suited to your needs. Quite often, Om also provides some naturopathic health education, self-care coaching and homework.
Follow-up consults can be shorter 30min sessions to check on progress and tweak the blend as needed. Alternatively, clients can opt to switch over to the Aura Therapy consults. We’ll still check on your progress, tweak as needed and restock you, but the bulk of these longer sessions will focus on counselling, therapy, and more in-depth coaching. Because our physical health is strongly influenced and affected by our mental, emotional, social and spiritual health, the development of mindfulness, self-awareness, emotional self-regulation and stress-management skills can make all the difference when it comes to recovering our health and preventing relapses, or improving your management of chronic health conditions for better quality of life.
PLANT-BASED NUTRITION COACHING
Omanisa is a vegan naturopath who loves helping vegans thrive and glow with radiant health while also helping non-vegans increase the quantity and quality of plant foods in their diet.
While Om’s area of expertise is whole-food plant-based nutrition, she is very happy to meet you where you’re at, and help you make gradual, small steps towards a healthier diet and lifestyle, according to your personal values.
“Whole foods” are natural foods that are whole, unrefined, or minimally refined ingredients, with minimal processing. “Plant-based” means food that comes from plants and is free of animal ingredients such as meat, milk, eggs, or honey.
There is overlap between whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) and vegan diets, but there are also some key differences. A vegan diet can include highly processed imitation meats and cheeses, while a WFPB diet is rich in whole or minimally processed, close-to-nature foods.
Some people find it easier to include some processed foods, due to a busy lifestyle or perhaps because they’re still adjusting to the flavour and texture changes when going vegan or transitioning away from animal flesh and products. Others feel better and get better blood test results when they prepare their meals with fresh whole food ingredients. A plant-based diet can reduce inflammation and the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Athletes in particular love the faster recovery time, fitness payoffs, and improved energy levels.
Omanisa can help you find the right balance for you, while also troubleshooting some of the problems that can arise when we’re making dietary changes.
Omanisa was raised on naturopathic principles with healthy wholefoods and a food-as-medicine philosophy by her mother Shell who was inspired by Dorothy Hall, one of Australia’s most famous naturopaths. Growing up in Central Australia, Om was raised by elders who had a great love for Nature and a special connection with plants.
Om’s grandma Anne was the first female residential doctor in central Australia. In her spare time, Anne loved exploring the outback with her photographer husband Victor and her botanist brother Peter, photographing wildflowers. When she retired from medicine, she wrote a botanical book called “Wildflowers and Plants of Inland Australia”, with help from her brother Peter who established the plant walks and the herbarium at Uluru-KataTjuta, and was like a father to Omanisa during her childhood. After Anne died, Omanisa became the publisher for her wildflower book, and is currently working on a revised edition, along with a biography about her elders.
In the late 1990’s, while still a naturopathic student, Omanisa was taken under the wing of a flower-essence practitioner named Mhyrlyn, who came from a long line of welsh gypsies. Mhyrlyn taught Omanisa a no-pick psychic technique for making flower essences. Omanisa now travels throughout Australia searching for wildflowers, communing with them and learning directly from the flower-spirits themselves what it is they wish to help humanity with.
Om also has a Wildflower Spirit Apprenticeship for those who would like to learn about making their own flower essences while benefiting from meditative excursions into Nature. At this stage, this apprenticeship is only available for local Darwin NT Australia apprentices. To enquire about becoming an apprentice, please see the Apprenticeship page.
AURA SPRAYS & HERBAL CHAKRA TONICS
Om has spent years learning about the spiritual properties and actions of herbal medicine and the correct doses needed to access these properties. This has resulted in Om’s range of Herbal Chakra Kits which combine liquid herbs with essences from Omanisa’s unique Australian wildflower range. The kits contain an Aura Spray, Chakra Tonic and the accompanying meditations. A course of treatment usually involves using each remedy at least once daily preferably just before listening to one of the prescribed meditations.
