About Dr. Natalie Barton | Integrative GP

After finishing her medical degree in Melbourne in 1998, Natalie worked in hospital medicine, including postgraduate training in obstetrics and gynaecology, before undertaking general practice training in rural Victoria. Over the past twenty years she has worked in general practice clinics in Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as with Family Planning Victoria and the Jean Hailes Centre for Women’s Health, along with the DISS program in local high schools.

Dr. Nat's interest in integrative medicine began when one of her own children became unwell, and with her conventional medical training unable to provide an explanation for her illness, Natalie began to look for alternative approaches. Nat was fortunate to attend a conference held by the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM), where she met colleagues who generously shared their knowledge and recommended a terrific integrative pediatrician. With her guidance, the cause for my daughter’s ill-health was found, along with a solution.

Nat consults in local Secondary Schools with the DISS program, with private consults available in the Lilydale clinic on Wednesday afternoons for students and peri-menopausal women.
