Consultation Flow
What to expect?
Initial Consultation
Before your consultation, you will be sent a pre-appointment form which helps us prepare for your appointment. At the beginning of the consultation, we will gather information about your medical history, lifestyle, diet, exercise habits, stress levels, and any current health concerns or symptoms. This comprehensive assessment will help us understand your overall health and any specific issues that need attention.
Holistic Approach
Naturopathic medicine takes a holistic approach, considering the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental aspects of your health. We will explore not only the immediate symptoms but also any underlying factors that may be contributing to the condition.
Natural Treatment Modalities
Based on the assessment, we will recommend natural treatment modalities tailored to your individual needs. These may include:
- Nutrition: Advice on diet and specific foods to support the body's healing process.
- Herbal Medicine: The use of medicinal plants and herbs to address various health concerns.
- Supplements: Nutritional supplements that can help correct deficiencies or support specific bodily functions.
- Blood or Functional Testing: We offer a wide array of functional testing that can be sent directly to you for ease to do at home or if bloods are needed, we can advise the recommended testing.
- Lifestyle Counselling: Recommendations for lifestyle changes like stress management, exercise, and sleep improvement.
Patient Education
We emphasise client education and empowerment. Will often take the time to explain the rationale behind our recommendations and teach clients how to take an active role in their health and well-being.
Follow-up
After the initial consultation and the implementation of the treatment plan, follow-up appointments are typically scheduled to monitor progress, make adjustments to the plan as needed, and address any new concerns that may arise.
