What happens in a Naturopathic Consultation?
The first consultation lasts for approx 90 mins. In this time I hope to gain a clear understanding of your state of health. I take a holistic approach into assessing your condition, taking all factors into account such as your medical history, medications, lifestyle and diet, hereditary, mental, emotional and social environments. Then, I provide you with an initial treatment designed just for you that will include herbs and nutritional advice.
Please bring details of medicines/supplements that you are taking and results of any relevant medical investigations.
Your follow-up consultation is usually 2-3 weeks after your initial one, and depending on what has taken place will be around 40 mins. We discuss the progress of the treatment and any changes that have taken place for you, and how best to continue forward. From here I monitor the condition as needed, and discuss any other isues you may wish to address.
Payment may be made by Cash, Direct transfer, Eftpos, Visa or Mastercard. Health Fund Rebates available.
Gift Vouchers available.
