Melbourne Integrative Medicine

Dr. Trisha Boetto is a Melbourne-based GP with 25 years of experience, specialising in a holistic, patient-centred approach to healthcare. Her practice integrates traditional medical knowledge with evidence-based complementary therapies, including counselling, meditation, relaxation techniques, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, laser acupuncture, and mindful somatic treatments. Dr. Boetto's aim is to provide safe, effective, and tailored treatment options that encourage active patient participation. To ensure patients feel supported and their concerns thoroughly addressed, consultation times are longer than standard GP appointments. Initial consultations for new patients last 30–45 minutes and involve a detailed review of a health questionnaire. A new, more counselling-focused form is being introduced to further enhance this process. Follow-up appointments vary based on the treatment modality. Counselling sessions are typically 50 minutes, while integrative medicine follow-ups range from 15–30 minutes, with extended times available for complex cases or multiple health concerns. Dr. Boetto's commitment to combining traditional and complementary therapies provides patients with a comprehensive approach to health and well-being, ensuring their treatment is both effective and empowering.
