Naturopathic & Ayurvedic Consultations at
The Otway Wellbeing Centre
My work as a practitioner is rooted in a simple but powerful belief:
the body holds deep intelligence, and healing begins when we learn to listen.
I am a qualified Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy), and I also hold a Bachelor of Ayurveda, which I recently completed via an online course in Kerala, India—the home of classical Ayurvedic medicine.
In my consultations, I weave together:
Modern naturopathic science
Traditional Ayurvedic wisdom
Nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle and nervous system support
A deeply individualised, whole-person approach
I work with people across many stages of life and health journeys, supporting concerns such as digestion, hormones, stress, fatigue, inflammation, immune health, menopause, and chronic imbalance.
Above all, my intention is to create a space that feels calm, safe, and empowering—where you feel truly seen and supported, not rushed or reduced to symptoms.
Consultation availability:
• Tuesday
• Wednesday
• Thursday
• First Saturday of every month
Appointments are held at The Otway Wellbeing Centre, and bookings are essential.
If you feel called to work gently, deeply, and holistically with your health, I would love to support you.
Donna Kilo is our Energy Healer and Medical Medium.
She has appointments available every Tuesday.
Rebalance the vital energy flow in your body.
Energy healing is a holistic practice that activates the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks.
By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated. Donna also incorporates her psychic medium abilities to help you heal.

Lizzi is back in The Centre tomorrow 6th Jan 2026
At Holistic Seed, Lizzi Gage supports your journey back to a calmer, more empowered way of being.
Life can leave emotional impressions in the mind, body, and soul, moments of overwhelm, stress, or hurt that the nervous system doesn’t fully process.
Over time, these unresolved experiences can show up as tension, reactivity, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns.
Lizzi offers a holistic approach that supports release and restoration on every level:
🌿 Hypnotherapy
Gently rewires old patterns, dissolves emotional blocks, and helps the mind respond to life with greater clarity and ease.
🌿 Remedial Massage
Softens tight muscles, increases range of motion, relaxes the nervous system, and encourages the body to let go of tension and stress.
🌿 Energy Healing
Restores balance in the energetic field, helping the whole system feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned.
When these modalities work together, they help you shift from “just coping” into feeling more centred, resourced, and present in your life.
If you’re ready to plant the seed for deeper calm and emotional freedom, Lizzi Gage offers sessions at the Otway Wellbeing Centre every Tuesday.
Lizzi also facilitates a Group Sound Healing Meditation with Crystal Singing Bowls on the 4th Sunday of every month at 2pm. No bookings required.
Email Lizzi at lizzi@holisticseed.au to arrange a free 15-minute phone consult and explore which path can best support your wellbeing.

QiGong begins Saturday 24th January
Begin your year with peace, calmness, and a quiet return to balance — gently nourishing body, breath, and mind.
Qi (pronounced "Chi") means "energy", and Gong means "skill".
The Qi, or Chi as it's sometimes written, is our life-force, our aliveness; it is this Qi that digests our food, beats the heart, and makes our hair grow.
Think of Qi like water. When it is flowing, it is full of oxygen, cleansing and flushing as it flows. When water sits still, it becomes stagnant, it isn't healthy. When a hose with water passing through is kinked, the flow becomes a trickle.
And just as with water, Qi when blocked, creates stagnancy in the body and leads to dis-ease. Qigong movements have been created to stimulate, expand and cleanse the meridian lines and points, these are an invisible network, an energy highway, circulating through the body.
Join Catherine this year to explore the amazing benefits of QiGong!

Supporting Children Before & After Vaccinations 🌱
As a Naturopath, I’m often asked whether I support families around vaccination care.
The answer is yes — wholeheartedly - What ever the choice - I also support families who choose not to vaccinate - Wholeheartedly.
My role is not to tell parents what decision to make, but to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident in the choices you make for your child.
I work with both Naturopathic and Ayurvedic principles, alongside current, evidence-based nutritional and physiological research, to support children’s bodies before and after vaccinations.
This includes:
• Preparing the gut and immune system
• Supporting liver and detoxification pathways
• Providing nutritional support for immune regulation
• Supporting the nervous system in sensitive children
• Individualised care based on each child’s constitution, history, and needs
I believe parents deserve clear, up-to-date, non-fear-based information — explained in a way that is practical, grounded, and empowering.
Vaccination conversations can feel overwhelming and social media information does not help the situation. My intention is to create a space where questions are welcome, evidence is discussed openly, and children are supported gently and holistically.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to children’s health.
There is a way to support their bodies with care, wisdom, and respect.
If you would like to learn more about pre- and post-vaccination support for children, or book a consultation, feel free to reach out.
Warmly,
Carly
Naturopath & Ayurvedic Practitioner

The Otway Wellbeing Centre is opening its doors this January 2020! The previous Fusion Healing and Yoga Centre has changed hands and is undergoing bright new changes. Carly Merlo (Naturopath & Yoga Therapist) is the new owner. Upon entering The Otway Wellbeing Centre you will find a unique, tranquil holistic health centre, which offers a range of services and products that will inspire and help you to lead a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Starting the journey towards a healthier lifestyle can be difficult and even harmful without the correct guidance and resources. The Otway Wellbeing Centre solves this problem within the Colac Otway Community by offering a range of superior, personalised services from highly qualified practitioners. This includes; Naturopathic consultations, personal counselling sessions, group and private meditation sessions, Homoeopathic consultations from a highly qualified Homoeopathic practitioner (who also offers Bio-compatibility testing), Bowen therapy, massage therapy, crystal healing, reiki, energy healing, general yoga classes, pregnancy yoga and post natal yoga.
The centre will also offer a range of specialised classes, workshops and other special events throughout the year that all relate to maintaining natural health and wellness. Myself, other practitioners and people from within and outside the community will run these events.
The warm and inviting studio space can be rented out as a space that the community can use to share their love of health and wellness.
Also, The Otway Wellbeing Centre is a Naturopathic Dispensary. The dispensary will allow people to meet with a qualified Naturopath and purchase practitioner only and non practitioner products over the counter for mild, acute conditions that may not require a full consultation, or for repeat prescriptions . A brief consultation can be conducted over the counter and certain products may be dispensed at the discretion of the Naturopath. Otherwise, a full consultation may be required. The Naturopathic dispensary will also stock a range of other health related products that are difficult for the local community to obtain.
Overall, The Otway Wellbeing Centre is designed to share wisdom about how to live in a more natural and holistically healthier manner. The centre is offering and inspiring the local community to learn about their own health and how to enjoy their life in the healthiest way possible.
