THE NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION
I believe each patient is unique, therefore I offer a personalised consultation where an in-depth assessment of the patient’s health picture is carried out.
When booking your initial appointment, you will receive a health questionnaire to be completed before your session. At your 75-minute initial consultation, I will ask in more detail about your needs as well as key aspects of your health such as diet, digestion, sleep, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing. Following your initial consultation, I will email you a personalised treatment plan with nutritional, supplements/herbs and lifestyle advice.
A follow-up consultation (60 minutes) is scheduled usually 4-5 weeks after your initial consultation, to assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Why do I need follow-up consultations? Naturopathy is a step by step process working towards an end goal, requiring follow-up sessions to progressively achieve optimal results. The number of sessions will depend on the nature of each case. During a follow-up consultation, I have the chance to assess your progress and discuss any changes experienced since your last consultation, readjusting the treatment plan accordingly. If you have undergone any tests or been asked to see your GP concerning a health issue this is also an opportunity to discuss the results.
YOUR PERSONALISED TREATMENT PLAN
Your personalised treatment plan may include:
Nutrition advice
A bespoke herbal prescription in the form of a tincture, powder or capsules
Nutritional supplements
Lifestyle advice
Diagnostic functional tests (via your GP or functional tests through a private laboratory) or a visit to your GP for further clarification of any suspected under diagnosed health condition
As an herbalist, I may incorporate Herbal Medicine into my treatment plans. The beauty of herbal medicine is that an herbalist can mix different herbs into a unique combination of herbs creating a bespoke formula to address the patient’s specific symptoms. The different active ingredients present within the plant work together to produce a beneficial effect while reducing side effects that can often be observed when single active ingredients are used. Not only herbal medicine has been successfully used for thousands of years but has also been widely researched with recent scientific studies supporting its effects.
