WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THE INITIAL NATUROPATHIC APPOINTMENT
Naturopathic medicine focuses on each client as unique individuals, and strongly values the client-practitioner relationship. Time is allowed to take a detailed case history providing you the chance to express your unique health concerns and goals. This allows Mary sufficient data to develop a personalised and effective care regime.
For your first appointment (initial consult), it is important to allow 60 to 90 minutes to make an informed assessment on your health condition.
You will be asked to complete an intake form prior to your visit and provide recent blood tests (if any). This will allow time to review your concerns, and ensure treatment does not interfere with any prescription medications.
Once complete, a treatment plan tailored to suit your individual needs will be discussed. This could be as simple as eliminating certain triggers out of your diet or environment, or prescribing herbal/nutritional supplements short term if required.
You can have peace of mind knowing that the information you provide will be kept confidential at all times.
FOLLOW UP CONSULT
As you implement the recommended changes and begin to see results, it's important to check in with a follow-up visit (usually 2 or 4 weeks after the initial consult) to assess your progress and to make any necessary changes. This keeps your progress moving in the right direction and keeps you on track to achieving your health goals.
