I offer Naturopathic consultations via appointment only. My focus is to develop a comprehensive solution to your health concerns, utilizing integrative and functional medicine, which focuses on finding the root cause of your disease.
We will chat together and discuss your signs and symptoms, review recent blood tests to examine any imbalances, discuss your current nutritional intake, and also look at other factors, such as your health history, lifestyle influences, sleep pattern, stress management, and any triggers that may be preventing you from reaching the health you desire.
I also offer free email access for answers to any questions between consultation appointments. However, when the last appointment is greater than two months, a new follow-up consult must be booked. If the last consult was greater than six months ago, an extended consult will need to occur.
Unusual circumstances call for a change in how we work together.
In order to ensure the safety of all my client’s from the COVID-19 outbreak and the continual running of my practice, I have transitioned ALL consultations to distant/offsite consultations only.
I was looking forward to returning to FACE-TO-FACE consults end of June but this will need to be delayed at this stage.
Due to Stage 3 Lockdown in Melbourne metro and the continual surge in COVID-19 cases, I have made the decision to revert back to operating totally offsite once again. This is to minimize the risk to all my clients and myself.
So in summary, ALL CONSULTS will remain OFFSITE until further notice.
“Distant/Offsite” means phone (mobile/landline), FaceTime, What’s App, Zoom, or Skype, but it can mean other methods as I progress forth and if a client prefers. I am very familiar and comfortable with this style of consulting since I have been doing this regularly with my interstate clients for several years now.
**Please note – ALL offsite bookings require FULL PAYMENT ahead of the consults taking place.
Basically, This Is How Offsite Consults Work…
- Once a consultation has been booked, I will touch base with you via mobile/email to ask how you wish to connect with me offsite.
- I WILL CONNECT WITH YOU at the scheduled consult time booked, using any of the methods mentioned above. I suggest you find a quiet place so that you won’t be disturbed during our time together. I encourage you to have a drink (eg water, herbal tea) with you also to be comfortable.
- I will take notes during the session as we chat and you will have the chance to have all your questions answered. I will also comment on any pathology results received.
- Post the consult, I then propose/edit the new/current treatment plan according to what is noted from the session.
- I will send you a copy of the treatment plan via email, along with an invoice with the cost of any products needed to cover the next month or until your following consult.
- Once I receive payment for the goods, I will send your parcel out promptly with your goods via Australia Post for a flat postage/handling cost of $10 anywhere in Victoria. I request a payment receipt as your confirmation of payment which can be sent to me via email or simply via an SMS screenshot of your bank receipt. Parcels are currently taking ~3-5 days to arrive.
- Goods can also be collected from the front of the clinic at an agreed time if preferred. The client simply needs to “toot” their horn and I will bring the products out in a sealed package. Full payment is preferred for pickups but payment can be also made via Eftpos/Credit Card if desired on collection.
- All upcoming follow-up consults booked through me will need to be paid within 48 hours of the scheduled consult. I will send out an invoice for your next follow-up consult one week prior, giving you enough time to make payment ahead of that consult.
Initial Consultation (Clinic or Offsite): 90-120 minutes – $195
- A comprehensive analysis of presenting complaints with relevant treatment regimens.
- Before this consultation, you will be asked to complete a brief intake questionnaire form, which you will receive via an email once your booking is confirmed.
- This intake form is a requirement of all initial clients which needs to be completed and returned to me as soon as possible and no later than the previous business day before the planned consultation. Monday appointments must especially have their intake form returned by the previous Friday at 8 pm.
- If I fail to receive the intake form in time, the initial appointment will need to be cancelled and rescheduled for another day.
- I also request any recent pathology which can either be sent to me before the consult or supplied directly to me on the consult day.
** NO INITIAL BOOKINGS AT 6 PM – please refrain from choosing this time for initial consults (since the session will finish at 8 pm). Initial consults require full concentration to absorb what is being said during this comprehensive analysis. There is no denying we all struggle to absorb extensive information when we are tired.
If this is your only time available, please email me first to discuss the possibility of running a consult at this time.
Follow-Up Consultation (Clinic or Offsite): 45-60 minutes – $95
- A review consultation to assess treatment progression and to provide further guidance going forth.
- This is available for EXISTING clients.
Extended Consultation (Clinic or Offsite): 90-120 minutes – $195
- An extended consultation for EXISTING clients to investigate a client’s condition more deeply or for complex chronic conditions requiring more time.
- This is needed also for existing clients returning post 6 months of their last consult.
Review Consultation (Clinic or Offsite): 30-45 minutes – $60
- This is only necessary to review, reassess, and adjust a client’s progression between regular monthly consults as needed.
- This is ONLY available for EXISTING clients.
- This service CANNOT be booked online or phone and is ONLY booked via me when a review is needed.
Cancellation Fees:
A fee of $50 will incur for any cancellations (initial, follow-up or extended) made on the day of the scheduled appointment since that spot can now no longer be given to someone else.
