What does a Naturopathic Consultation Involve?

​

In your first consultation, I take a thorough and holistic approach to understanding your health. This begins with a detailed health history, where we explore your current concerns as well as your past medical background. We discuss all symptoms—physical, mental, and emotional—to build a complete picture of your wellbeing.   

​

As we talk, I also make careful observations of visible indicators such as your skin, facial tone, eyes, tongue, hair, and nails. These provide valuable insights into underlying patterns in the body and help guide a more individualized approach to your care.

​

I find that while nutrients are supportive, like the foundations of a building, it is the herbal medicines that do the deeper work. My job is to decide what is the best herbal formula to prescribe for you. I look at all the different symptoms and consider what patterns I am seeing to know what areas of you that need support. 

​

We will review your diet in detail, looking at what you currently eat, identifying any foods that may be contributing to your symptoms, and discussing practical dietary changes to better support your health. If you have any existing blood tests or pathology results, I will interpret these in the context of Naturopathy and your overall picture and refer you back to your GP as needed to discus any results and further testing that may need to be done. 

​

​

Together, we clarify your main priorities and health goals. From there, I develop a tailored treatment plan that may include specific herbal medicines , nutritional supplements, and targeted dietary recommendations. The aim is to create a clear, achievable path forward that supports your body’s natural ability to restore balance and function optimally.

 

Because of my extensive experience (25 years of being a Naturopath) I am very good at knowing what specific herbal medicines and nutrients are going to make the most difference to your personal needs. 

 

Other than using my well honed Naturopathic skills I have developed a skill in putting all the pieces together for people and often help them decide which course of action they need to take with their health, what they need to ask their GP or specialist and what tests would be valuable to them.

 

Health problems can be overwhelming and you can be confused or unsure about what to do, who to see and what to ask. I help you clarify all of that and set you up with a Naturopathic treatment plan personalized to you.
