As a naturopath I use several methods of assessment. The initial consultation takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes, with follow-up assessments 30 minutes. It involves taking a case history identifying your health issues and developing strategies to incorporate into every day to improve your conditions. Using the modalities of Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy and Bach flower Essences.
Each assessment and treatment program is individualised and you will be provided with the supplements if required at the time of consultation. Dietary advice is the first line of treatment and you will be provided with information handouts, shopping lists and recipes to improve your health status. You will be guided over several weeks to months depending on your needs until your goal has been achieved and better health prevails. It takes commitment and motivation on your behalf but you will have support and confidence in your treatments.
Other tools of assessment include Iridology, blood pressure, heart rate, weight, urine analysis, zinc testing, temperature, lung auscultation, and blood and stool analysis on request through a specialist laboratory.
