NATUROPATHY
: a noninvasive system of health practice that employs natural health modalities, substances, and education to promote, maintain and restore health.
WHAT CONDITIONS DO WE TREAT?
You may be thinking, what do naturopaths treat?
The answer is, absolutely anything!

Constant migraines you can never get rid of

WHAT DOES EACH CONSULT LOOK LIKE?
INITIAL
The initial consultation aims at delving deep into your health concerns. We do so by gathering and assessing information on diet, lifestyle, body systems, family and personal history as well as using clinical examination techniques to gage a comprehensive understanding of your unique current health state. This consult will take between 60-90 minutes, subject to the complexity of your health concern(s), and if necessary, a prescription may be dispensed separately to your initial consultation fee.
REPORT OF FINDINGS
Approximately two weeks following your initial, after analysing and determining your case, a 60-minute consultation is required for review of any additional information, reflection on any changes made, as well as discussion of your detailed, individualised treatment plan. I will walk you through all recommendations and we will discuss what is personally achievable for you. This plan may emphasise the use of herbal, nutritional or functional intervention methods which is all based on traditional and scientifically gathered evidence.
FOLLOW-UP
This 60-minute review consultation may occur more or less frequent depending on the complexity of your case and your treatment plan. This is where we plan, revise and adjust as well as support you in making the changes necessary to support your health goals. In naturopathic practice, continued care is incredibly important, as we develop a long-term strategy for optimising your health.
