The Foundational Phase
Your First 12–18 Months
Before we show the pricing, it’s helpful to understand how your first year of care is structured.
We refer to this stage as the Foundational Phase. It begins with a 90-minute Initial Consultation, where John gains a comprehensive understanding of your history, priorities and system load before arranging any testing.
From there, your care continues through a series of Program Cycles.
Each cycle includes:
• A new HTMA
• A one-hour consultation with John
• A revised InMB Plan
• An adjustment support window
Most clients complete several cycles within 12–18 months, though the exact timing varies. Some move steadily from cycle to cycle; others progress more slowly due to life circumstances or what their system requires. The structure is flexible, provided you remain engaged and complete cycles at appropriate intervals.
These repeating cycles allow John to track changes over time, make targeted adjustments, and support you with a plan that reflects your current state—not a static protocol.
Why does this matter?
Because integrative mineral balancing isn’t about chasing symptoms or following static protocols. It’s a process of observing, adjusting, and understanding how your system responds over time, so we can support your long-term adaptability and resilience.

Program Discounts & Payment Details

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.
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.

From Foundations to Established Care
Once the Foundational Year is complete, clients continue with Established Programs, where the same core structure is maintained with greater flexibility in timing and ongoing support.
What Comes After Periodical Care
Behind the scenes, we’re actively building the next layer of support. While periodical programs are how we currently continue care, they may not be the final step for every client. We’re developing public education on mineralbalancing.org and laying the groundwork for longer-term options.
