All consultations are available in our in-person clinic or online.
Initial Consultation
A comprehensive 90-minute deep dive into your current condition and full health history. Starting with your presenting concerns we will explore all aspects of your life that may contribute to your mental, emotional and physical health.
We will meet again either in-person or on zoom within seven days for me to present you with your initial treatment plan. This cost included in initial consultation cost and only requires 30 minutes.
Follow-up Consultation
After being presented with your initial health plan. These consultations are recommended every 2-4 weeks on a case-by-case basis and range from 30 to 60 minutes. These consults are important to discuss your progress, any changes in your health and make potential amendments to your treatment plan. Follow-up consults are also used to review test results such as microbiome mapping or pathology results.

The naturopathic approach utilises nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, lifestyle interventions and dietary modification to achieve your health goals.
Your treatment plan will include comprehensively researched evidence-based recommendations individualised to your health condition.
A referral to your general practitioner and the pathology lab may be required if we feel you need further support outside of our scope of naturopathic practice.
All recommended supplements, herbal medicines & functional testing are kept only to what is required and are at an additional cost to your consultation fee.
The presented health plan is made to be an open discussion so that the recommendations included are manageable and sustainable for you. The health plan will be amended and updated as you progress along your health journey or there are changes to your health condition.
-
These consultations can be booked where no in-depth review of your health is required or change to your treatment plan. These appointments are beneficial for supplement review or for access to practitioner-only products & herbal medicines where an acute condition is present.

Individualised Testing
Functional testing assesses for imbalances within the body at a cellular & molecular level giving direct answers to what may be contributing to your current health condition. These tests are by practitioner referral only & usually involve blood, stool, urine, breath or hair analysis. Functional testing is beneficial as it allows for a more targeted approach in your treatment plan to achieve your health goals more efficiently.
