We are pleased to be able to take care of your health inside and out by providing the services of Naturopathy and Nutrition.
Why see a Naturopath?
Naturopaths are not an alternative to seeing a Doctor and we do not recommend a person ceases their medication. However, you can use these natural approaches to improve your health, and over time we hope that it allows you to have an evolving conversation with your GP about your medications as your health status improves.
What to expect from your Naturopath consult
During your initial one hour consultation, the naturopath listens to your specific health concerns and asks further questions on the history of conditions and issues you’ve faced. A Live Blood Analysis test (from a pin-prick blood sample) can be performed. This is where a sample of your blood viewed under a microscope and provides signs as to what may be happening within the body. For example, clues may be provided to indicate conditions such as anaemia, inflammation, liver stress or nutritional deficiencies. Together we work out a plan to assist the body to function optimally. We also utilize functional pathology testing and genetic testing.
What to bring
The results of any recent tests. It is also helpful to start writing down a family history of illnesses for your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
What happens after the consult?
The information you receive can help you make informed decisions about how you can prevent small health issues developing into bigger ones and also manage challenges you currently have with your health. You will gain tools to help you find ways to optimise your health into the future.
If supplements are indicated, we can organise a direct delivery to your door. Herbal supplements can be individually tailored based on the findings of your consultations.
Payments
Consultations are paid on the day. Private health fund rebates are available depending on your level of cover and the terms and conditions of your health fund. Some funds require full payment and claiming of services directly. We can assist this process by providing you all necessary details on your visit. Supplements are organised according to need.
