I’m Jeannette Scapens, a qualified Naturopath and Metabolic Balance® Coach now welcoming clients to my new, relaxed clinic space in Seaview Downs, South Australia.
I support women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are struggling with stubborn weight gain, low energy, hormonal changes, and thyroid concerns to feel like themselves again through personalised nutrition, herbal medicine, and holistic support.
Consultations are available both in person at my Seaview Downs clinic and online throughout Australia, so you can access support in the way that suits you best.
About My New Clinic Space
After years of supporting women through their health journeys, I’m excited to welcome you to my new clinic in Seaview Downs, Adelaide.
This is a calm, welcoming space designed to help you feel comfortable and heard from the moment you arrive. There’s no clinical coldness here, just a warm, professional environment where you can relax and focus on your health.
Whether you’re visiting in person or connecting with me online, you’ll receive the same personalised care and attention.
Location: Seaview Downs, South Australia (easily accessible from Brighton, Seacliff, Marion, and surrounding Adelaide areas)
Consultation options:
- In-person appointments at my Seaview Downs clinic
- Telehealth consultations via Zoom or phone (available Australia-wide)
Who This Clinic Is For
My clinic is designed for women in midlife who feel like their body has changed and nothing they used to do is working anymore.
You may be here because you’re experiencing:
- Stubborn weight gain, especially around the middle, that won’t shift despite eating well or exercising
- Low energy that leaves you feeling flat, needing afternoon naps, or waking unrefreshed
- Hormonal changes during peri-menopause or menopause (hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog)
- Thyroid symptoms even when blood tests come back “normal”
- Poor sleep, waking between 1 and 3am, or feeling tired all day
- Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or reflux
- Frustration after being told “everything is fine” when you know something isn’t right
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and feeling dismissed, confused, or stuck, you’re in the right place.
My Story: Why I Do This Work
I didn’t always work in natural health. My journey into Naturopathy began when I faced my own health challenges.
I was struggling with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an autoimmune thyroid condition), weight gain, fatigue, and feeling completely out of balance. I was told by conventional medicine that I was “a puzzle” and that there wasn’t much that could be done.
That wasn’t an answer I was willing to accept.
Through personalised nutrition, naturopathic support, and addressing the root causes of my symptoms, I put my Hashimoto’s into remission, released 17kg, and started to feel better than I had in over 10 years.
That transformation changed my life and inspired me to study Naturopathy so I could help other women experiencing the same frustration.
I’ve walked in your shoes. I understand what it’s like to feel unheard, dismissed, and stuck.
And I’m here to show you that real, lasting change is possible.
How I Work: The “Science + Soul” Approach
What makes my approach different is that I combine clinical naturopathy with mindset and emotional support.
I call this my “Science + Soul” approach.
The Science
I use evidence-based tools including:
- Comprehensive health assessments and naturopathic observations
- Blood test analysis (looking for optimal ranges, not just “normal”)
- Personalised nutrition programs based on your unique biochemistry
- Herbal and nutritional medicine where appropriate
- The scientifically-developed Metabolic Balance® program (my core offering for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health)
The Soul
I also address the psychological and emotional side of health, because willpower alone rarely creates lasting change.
As a certified NLP and Hypnotherapy Practitioner, I work with:
- Mindset coaching to address emotional eating and self-sabotage
- Supportive accountability to keep you on track
- Goal-setting and motivation techniques
- Gentle “tough love” when needed, always delivered with care
This combination means you’re not just getting a meal plan or a supplement protocol. You’re getting personalised, holistic support that addresses why your body is struggling and helps you make changes that actually last.

5. Holistic and Empowering
I don’t just treat symptoms. I address the root causes and empower you with the knowledge to manage your health for life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your clinic located?
My clinic is located in Seaview Downs, South Australia, easily accessible from Brighton, Seacliff, Marion, and surrounding Adelaide areas.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes. I offer telehealth consultations via Zoom or phone for clients throughout Australia. Many of my clients prefer online appointments, and the support is just as personalised and effective.
What happens in the first consultation?
Your first consultation is 90 minutes and includes a comprehensive health assessment, naturopathic observations, review of any existing blood work, and a personalised care plan. This consultation costs $140.
Is Metabolic Balance® suitable for women in menopause?
Yes. The Metabolic Balance® program is particularly effective for women in peri-menopause and menopause because it addresses hormonal balance, blood sugar regulation, and inflammation, all of which change during this life stage.
How long does it take to see results?
Many women notice improvements in energy and sleep within the first few weeks. Sustainable weight loss occurs gradually over time. The Metabolic Balance® program is designed as a 12-week program with ongoing support.
Do I need special foods or supplements?
The Metabolic Balance® program focuses on real, whole foods. Supplements may be recommended if appropriate based on your individual needs, but the foundation is always personalised nutrition.
What if my blood tests have always been “normal”?
This is very common. Standard blood tests often miss early imbalances and don’t account for optimal ranges. I look at blood work through a different lens and also assess symptoms, health history, and naturopathic observations to understand what’s really happening.
Can I do this if I’m already on thyroid medication?
Yes. Naturopathic support can work alongside thyroid medication. I do not advise stopping any prescribed medications without consulting your GP.
How much does the Metabolic Balance® program cost?
The program investment is $1,396, which includes seven 45-minute coaching consultations, your personalised nutrition plan, app access, and ongoing support. Blood testing costs $159 (paid directly to the lab). Payment plans are available.
What if I’m not in Adelaide?
That’s completely fine. I work with clients throughout Australia via telehealth. You can organise blood testing in your local area, and all consultations are conducted online.
I’m here to help you feel like yourself again.
If you’re tired of feeling tired, frustrated with stubborn weight, or simply want to understand what’s really happening in your body, I warmly invite you to book a free discovery call or schedule an initial consultation.
You deserve personalised care, clear answers, and real support.
Let’s get started.
