WHO is freyja?
Freyja is an integrative natural health clinic combining naturopathy, acupuncture, and nutritional medicine within a multidisciplinary framework. Our approach reflects a strong emphasis on mind–body medicine and collaborative care, supporting women and families across fertility and reproductive health. If you are looking for integrative natural medicine and fertility care, based in Albert Park, Melbourne.
Goddess of femininity & fertility
Our clinic takes its name from Freyja, the Nordic goddess of femininity and fertility. She embodies love, beauty, and creative power—bold in her femininity, guided by instinct, and deeply intentional in her choices.
Freyja represents a holistic view of health: body, mind, and spirit considered together. Beyond surface beauty, she symbolises depth, intelligence, and substance—values that quietly inform the philosophy of our clinic.
The Freyja approach
Acupuncture
Three thousand years old and still relevant.
Acupuncture is a time-honoured medical practice, now thoughtfully integrated into modern care.
Treatment uses ultra-fine, single-use stainless steel needles placed at specific acupuncture points (yes, they’re much smaller than you’re imagining). Traditionally centred on balance, acupuncture now sits comfortably within modern integrative care focused on regulation and overall wellbeing. Chosen by those who prefer a calm, considered, whole-person approach.
Naturopathy
Old wisdom. Modern science. Considered care.
Naturopathy takes a big-picture view—holistic, preventative, and informed by both traditional frameworks and contemporary research. It is a philosophy that recognises the body’s physiological processes and regulatory systems, using thoughtful strategies to work alongside them.
This approach may draw on herbal and nutritional medicine, vitamins and minerals, homeopathy, and considered dietary and lifestyle guidance—brought together within an integrative, individualised framework.
Nutritional
Medicine
Our focus is on what to include, not what to eliminate.
Nutritional medicine is approached with an emphasis on adequacy and balance, using food thoughtfully and intentionally within an integrative model of care.
Our work extends beyond food choices alone. We consider how the body digests, absorbs, metabolises, and eliminates nutrients, recognising that nutrition involves both intake and physiological function. Digestive health, including the gut microbiome, is considered within this whole-system perspective.
Functional
Medicine Testing
Pathology, properly interpreted.
Blood results viewed through an integrative, whole-person lens.
Dr Miranda and her team place strong emphasis on the careful interpretation of pathology. Existing blood results are welcomed and reviewed as part of an integrative assessment. Functional tests differ from standard pathology and may provide complementary information relating to biochemical, nutritional, metabolic, and hormonal patterns. These results are used to inform a considered, evidence-informed approach to care within an integrative framework.

Acupuncture
The ancient art of Acupuncture is around 3000 years old. Today, acupuncture is increasingly popular as a natural, gentle and effective treatment for the management of most symptoms & dis-ease.
The gentle insertion of very fine, single use stainless steel pins into specific acupuncture points, stimulates and energises the body’s own recuperative processes, helping the body restore its own natural balance, enhancing well-being & vitality. Acupuncture reduces stress hormones, calms our nervous system and helps to modulate mood by providing amazing stress relief & emotional support.
Naturopathy
The heart of Naturopathic Medicine is holistic and preventative care, combining ancient wisdom and modern science to help you be and become all you can be naturally. Naturopathic principles believe that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and treatments are used to encourage and support the body to find its own homeostasis to help you thrive.
Naturopathy encompasses a range of therapies and techniques including herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, vitamin & mineral therapy, homeopathy, positive dietary & lifestyle advice to get you to be your best version of you.
Nutritional
Medicine
At Freyja, our focus is on what TO eat, rather than what NOT to eat. We want you to eat in abundance to nourish and flourish. We want to help you use food as your medicine, and make the absolute most out of what you are eating.
We work beyond just simply changing your diet. We want to ensure you are digesting, absorbing, metabolising and excreting your food properly so that you are getting the most out of your diet to help you thrive. The focus then is not only what you are putting in your mouth, but your digestive health, especially your gut microbiome.
Functional
Medicine Testing
Dr Miranda and her team are highly versed in the optimal interpretation of blood tests. Please bring with you any blood tests that have been conducted.
Functional medical tests are different from standard blood tests from a GP. They are utilised to investigate your functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status.
The results provide essential information to assist the practitioner in the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients seeking an holistic approach to health.
When I was 18, I spent a year living in Sweden. My host mother—like my own father—was a GP, but her approach was different. She blended natural medicine with conventional care in a way we’d now recognise as integrative medicine. Watching her work quietly shaped my sense of what medicine could be—and who I wanted to become.
That year led me to naturopathy, herbal and nutritional medicine, and homeopathy. And, as it turns out, the thread runs deep: my paternal great-grandfather practised homeopathy as a GP, and my maternal grandfather used it to care for his farm animals.
Some paths are chosen. Others, it seems, are already in your veins.
