Over the past year, behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly working on something new and exciting — and it’s taken much longer than we ever expected to bring to life. Patience isn’t exactly one of my strong suits, so there have definitely been moments of frustration along the way… but we’re thrilled to finally share that it’s happening.

Very soon we’ll be expanding our health food store into a brand-new, larger space just down the road — for those who’ve been in Somerville a while, it’s the old IGA Liquor space.

Our clinic will remain exactly where it is, and once the store moves, that space will be transformed into a larger yoga and workshop room — something we’re really excited to offer our community💚

With a bigger store comes the opportunity to bring in even more of what you love. We’ll be introducing a range of bulk whole foods, a herbal tea bar featuring naturopathically blended teas and wholesome snacks, plus an expanded selection of the products you already know and trust us for.

And now we’d love your input. Is there something you currently have to order online or travel far to find that you’d love to see on our shelves?🥰

Feel free to DM or email us at info@thenaturalstore.com.au or let us know next time you’re in store or clinic.

We can’t wait to share more updates with you very soon!✨

✨Meet Kara John✨
What is counselling and psychology?
Counselling and psychologyservices provide a safe, supportive space to explore challenges, build resilience and support your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Kara's work incorporates a range of interventions including psychosocial education, which involves learning about how our brain/body works, why it behaves like it does, and easy to implement actions to help.
This is combined with other modalities such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to access deep seated pain and emotional wounds and heal them as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand the competing and conflicting parts of ourselves.
Kara works with the philosophy that therapy is the meeting of two experts; A combination of her wealth of knowledge of mental health, relationships, emotions and psychological interventions and your knowledge of your experiences, identity, personality, and unique history.
She truly believes that when we collaborate and share our expertise, incredible change and healing will happen.

Kara works on Monday's and Friday's.

Protein is having a moment. Scroll social media, walk down the supermarket aisle, or glance at a café menu and you’ll see it everywhere. Protein pancakes. Protein cereal. Protein water. But when we zoom in so closely on one macronutrient, are we missing the bigger picture of what actually makes a...

✨Meet Karl Godden✨

What is an Osteopath?
Osteopaths are allied health practitioners that are tertiary educated with a five-year university degree to provide manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and lifestyle advice relating to a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

What can we help with?
Osteopathic manual treatment, in conjunction with education, exercise and lifestyle advice given by your Osteopath may help with the management of the following conditions;
- neck, jaw pain and headaches
- short or long term upper and lower back pain i.e. disc injuries
- shoulder, knee and elbow, wrist, knee and ankle complaints i.e. frozen shoulder, ankle sprains.
- repetitive strain injuries such as tennis elbow, wrist complaints from mouse work
- pain relating to arthritic conditions both inflammatory and degenerative
- sport and exercise related injuries

How Osteopath's treat?
Osteopaths may make use of the following treatment techniques to address any given injury;
- soft tissue/massage techniques- these can be very light and gentle to assist fluid flow or deeper to address muscular concerns
- articulation- techniques that assist in improving joint range of motion and potentially decreasing stiffness
- manipulation- quick techniques that may involve an audible "clicking" sound that can also assist in improving joint stiffness in conjunction with other techniques.
-stretching- designed to assist in decreasing pain from tight muscles and joints and to potentially increase range.
- lifestyle, ergonomic and exercise advice
- ultrasound and laser treatment

Karl works on Tuesday's, Thursdays and every second Saturday.

Doing something a little different this Sunday ✨
Normally I like to gather in circle for the full moon, but I’ve felt called to host a New Moon Circle this weekend to welcome in the new year.

New moons are a powerful time for fresh beginnings, intention setting, and looking ahead. With the moon in Capricorn, this energy is especially supportive for longterm goals, structure, and visions for the year ahead.

If you’re free this Sunday night, come gather with us to get inspired and manifest what you want to call in for 2026.

During the circle we will:
✨ Explore the current astrology and how to work with it
✨ Journey through a guided manifestation meditation
✨ Receive gentle Reiki
✨ Create a fun 2026 intention bingo card

For bookings, visit The Natural Clinic website or send me a message 🤍
