The First Appointment

first consultation naturopath

What to expect in our first 60 minutes together:

Your first appointment with me will be one of the most comprehensive health check ups you will ever experience!
​
My style of healthcare is different it is unlikely you've ever met another practitioner like me.
I never judge, critique, dismiss you or make you feel small.
​​
I'm committed to providing exceptional service, putting you at the centre of everything so you are set up for success to get results.
 
You will also be equipped with the knowledge you deserve. I will advocate for you on your journey, working closely with other healthcare professionals as you may need or helping you to navigate the system so you get the best outcomes based on my many years of clinical experience.
 
My role is to support, provide professional guidance and to encourage you in achieving your goals. Want to know what the good supplements are? Want to know what health trends are actually beneficial and what are just silly fads? As an expert with over 15 years experience in natural health, I will give you honest evidence based, no BS advice.
​
Step 1: The Deep Dive
 
In the session, I really want to get to know you, what has been bothering you about your health as well as understanding your health goals.
 
We take a deep dive deep into your health history, I ask lots and lots of questions to assess any signs and symptoms that will tell me how each system/organ of your body is functioning and your overall state of health.
​
We will also discuss your current lifestyle, diet and any other factors that may be relevant that you'd like to share including family health history. I'm here to listen empathetically, not judge or critique so don't hold back!
​
Step 2: The Clinical Review
 
If you provided any pathology test results, we would go through these and discuss your results in an easy to understand way, empowering you with knowledge about your health linking up these results to any signs and symptoms you are currently concerned about. 
​
I may also conduct some further testing on the spot including nutrient deficiency testing or bioimpedence analysis which assesses your current body composition, hydration levels, and state of metabolic health.
​
Step 3: Goal Setting
 
Now that I have a really thorough understanding of your health, we confirm what your goals are in order of priority so as a team, we can work together to achieve them.
​
Step 4: Building The Plan
 
To meet these goals, together we discuss a proposed treatment plan which will be broken down into phases and we will discuss estimated timeframes expected to see improvements.
​
We discuss further optional investigative tests that may be required to understand the true cause of how you are feeling, helping to eliminate potential causes and allows us to zone in and focus your treatment so it is more effective.
​
We discuss different treatment preferences ie. supplement formats, foods you dislike etc, any budget constraints so you have options and feel empowered to decide what is best for you. 
​
Step 5: Get Started​
 
At the conclusion of our session, we cover any questions you may have and you will be provided a a treatment plan and welcome pack written out with easy, actionable steps including any diet and lifestyle suggestions, referrals or natural medicine prescriptions.

 

You are also welcome to reach out after the session in case you had any questions about the treatment and are feeling comfortable and ready to go. 
 
Step 6: Commitment​
​
You've probably already seen other practitioners and still feeling poor health. When it comes to health, there really is no silver bullet quick fix long term. In my clinical experience, I've been able to successfully help many people feel better within weeks but sometimes, it can take time, especially if it has been going on months or years.
​
By coming to see me, you're making a commitment to yourself and my job is to also help you stay the course so you get the results!​
