Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: a picture of your minerals over recent months
You have a feeling that something in your body has been adapting for a long time. You eat reasonably well. You do the right things. And still your energy, sleep or digestion do not feel the way you would like them to.
Who this is for
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, or HTMA, is for people who want one more piece of their own picture. A small hair sample gives a view of your mineral levels, and some metals, over recent months rather than a single day. I use it as one part of your history, alongside your symptoms, your timeline and your surroundings, to guide food and lifestyle choices. It is most useful inside a consultation where we can read it against everything else you have told me.
What happens in a session
HTMA sits inside a consultation rather than replacing one. If you are new to me, we start with an Initial Holistic Health Consultation of two hours, where I take your full history. If HTMA makes sense for you, I explain how the hair sample is taken and we arrange it. The sample is small, cut close to the scalp from the back of the head, and it takes a few minutes. If we work together on Zoom, I walk you through taking the sample at home.
When your HTMA report comes back, we go through it together in a consultation. I show you what the mineral picture suggests, what it may be worth paying attention to, and where it fits with the rest of your story. Then we turn it into something practical: what to add, what to ease back on, what to notice over the coming weeks.
HTMA is also an optional part of the Whole Health Review, where it can be arranged before your written timeline and report. Consultations run in Carrum Downs, South East Melbourne, near Seaford and Frankston, or on Zoom.
What it costs and how long
HTMA is an additional cost and is not included in consultation or review fees. I confirm the fee with you before anything is sent off, so there are no surprises.
Initial Holistic Health Consultation: two hours, $250.
Follow Up Consultation to go through your HTMA report: 45 minutes, $155.
Whole Health Review, with HTMA optional and charged separately: $1,995, currently offered at an introductory investment.
Prices are in Australian dollars. Private health insurance rebates are not available.
