Family Discounts & Children’s Programs
Program types, timelines, and pricing explained.
Whether you're supporting a child, sharing the journey with your partner, or approaching wellness as a family — our clinic is structured to meet you where you are.
This page outlines how the family discount works, what to expect from children’s programs, and how we approach care across different life stages.

Family Discount Overview
We offer a stacking discount for families who book and bill together. It’s one way we recognise the investment involved in supporting more than one person on this path.
Each active family member adds a 5% discount to the total program cost for all members.
The discount applies to program services only - not HTMA testing or Pathway Planning Sessions.
The maximum discount is 20%.
To qualify:
All members must be from the same household or immediate family.
HTMA samples must be submitted together.
Appointments must be booked within 4 weeks of each other.
Discounts must be confirmed before invoices are issued.
Grace Period for Children
Because children cannot make their own program commitments, the parent or guardian decides whether they continue from one cycle to the next, and we make specific exceptions for them on this basis.
A one-cycle grace period is available if a child pauses after their first program cycle; the family discount remains in place for one additional retest cycle.
If more time is needed, the parent or guardian may request an extension of the child’s active status for up to one full cycle length, provided the request is made before the current plan expires.
After the grace period or any approved extension, the family discount will be recalculated based on the number of family members still actively participating.
These grace options apply only to children, not to adult family members.
Children’s Programs
The Child Program is designed for children who are not currently experiencing complex or chronic health concerns.
It offers a lighter, more streamlined version of our standard programs, including:
Shorter consultations
Reduced administrative and adjustment support
A focus on gentle, foundational nutritional support rather than deep clinical investigation
If a child presents with a more complex health history, John may recommend the standard program structure instead. This will be discussed during the Pathway Planning Session, based on the child’s needs and priorities.
Supplement Considerations
Nutritional supplements are an important part of our programs and may be provided in a variety of forms such as capsules, tablets, powders, gummies, or liquids. We understand that every child is different and may have preferences or sensitivities, so we are happy to work with you to find a format that suits them. If your child is not yet able to take supplements in any form, it may be best to wait until they can, so that the program can be as effective and comfortable as possible for them.
Minimum Age
We accept children aged 3 and over. At younger ages, many children are not yet able to take supplements consistently, and supplements are central to our programs. If your child is not ready for this, there is little we can do beyond reviewing their test results, which can make the program less cost-effective. In the meantime, we usually suggest that a parent or primary caregiver begin a program first; improving adult mineral patterns and the home environment often creates meaningful benefits while your child grows and becomes ready.
For all children’s programs, we prefer to have consent from both parents before starting. Disagreement between parents can create challenges during the program, so where possible, we aim to ensure everyone is informed and comfortable with the approach. If one parent is not yet on board, we can provide a science-based summary of the proposed care after the Pathway Planning Session for them to review.

Has Your Child Had a Break Between Programs?
The time between program cycles affects what type of consultation is needed. The table below outlines what’s required based on how long it has been since your child’s last HTMA and consultation. This helps ensure there’s enough time to review their case and tailor the next InMB Plan appropriately.
🕒 Under 6 months:
Your Normal 30 min Retest Program.
📆 6 - 12 months:
Your Normal 30min Retest Program plus 15-minute add-on (to allow more time for case review) = 45min total
🔁 Over 1 year: Will require a 1 hour consultation to restart.
Please Note: The timeframes above reflect clinical guidelines for how much consultation time may be needed based on how long it has been since your last program. Resuming care also depends on current client capacity, and if the clinic is full, access may be delayed or unavailable. Please email us to discuss your options.

Concession & Discounts
Support is available for eligible clients
A 10% discount may be available for clients who hold a valid concession card or are experiencing genuine financial hardship.
In Australia, this typically includes pensioners, disability support recipients, full-time carers, students, and low-income earners with a government-issued health care card.Discounts only apply to Program Services — not to HTMA lab fees or Pathway Planning Sessions.
Concession pricing is not the same as a family discount and cannot be combined with it.If you believe you may qualify, please let us know before your next invoice is issued so we can confirm both your eligibility and your applicable discount rate.

Invoicing & Payment Process
Flexible and secure options
All bookings and payments are arranged by email, and you’ll receive a secure invoice with the option to pay via Stripe (card), PayPal, or bank transfer (within Australia).
Most programs can be paid in two instalments:
Part 1: AU$200 (approx. US$129) per person, which covers your HTMA lab fee and confirms your place.
Part 2: The remaining balance, due once your results are in.
Erin will personally send your invoice and walk you through the next steps. There’s no automated system, just a real person making sure everything is clear and in place before your program begins.
