CONSULTATIONS

Consultation  Process

Prior to our initial meeting, I will be sending you a detailed health questionnaire and food diary to complete and return to me no later than 3 days prior to your appointment please.

 

We begin with an initial consultation which will take   around one and a half hours where I will ask many questions to form an accurate picture of your current health status.

 

During the consultation, we will talk about:

  • Your health goals.

  • Private Functional testing if appropriate.

  • Interpretation of test results including Functional testing results where appropriate.

  • GP referral if necessary.

  • Supplementation requirements.

 

Following the consultation, I will develop a nutritional plan for you to follow for 4 weeks. This will be sent to you electronically within 7 days of the consultation.

 

A follow-up consultation is recommended 4 weeks after the initial consultation to assess progress and make any necessary changes to your protocol. These appointments are around 45 minutes. Further follow-up appointments can be scheduled as necessary.

 

ALL Consultations take place via zoom currently although a face-to-face meeting can be arranged in certain circumstances.

 

All information collected is in the strictest confidence and GDPR rules apply.         

About Functional Testing

Functional testing can help to discover the root cause of health issues and should be viewed as an investment in your long-term health. It takes the guesswork out of trying to assess what is causing dysfunction and therefore saves time and effort in the long-term.

​

Functional testing is carried out by reputable and highly specialised private companies. It is often recommended as part of a client’s individual naturopathic plan but is in no way compulsory.

​

Examples of tests are:

  • Thyroid Imbalance

  • Adrenal stress test

  • Hormonal Imbalance

  • Digestive issues

  • Food Intolerances

  • Fertility Issues

  • Post and pre partum conditions

  • Genetic testing

 

The method of testing varies and can be in the form of a blood test, urine, or stool test. Blood tests can either be a finger prick test or require a blood draw by a registered phlebotomist.

​

The samples are sent to the laboratory by the client and then results take around 2-3 weeks to be forwarded to myself for interpretation.

Conditions I Can Help With...

Most diseases originate with digestive disorders. In fact 70% of the immune system is in the gut. Therefore, this is where I often start the investigation into what has started to malfunction. Digestion needs to be addressed first and this can lead to dramatic changes in itself. So the list of conditions which can be supported below is not exhaustive.

​

I have found success in supporting the following areas of health concerns in my clients:

 

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Ankylosing Spondylitis

  • Ulcerative Colitis

  • Endometriosis

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

  • Weight Loss

  • Bloating

  • Fatigue

  • Hypothyroidism

  • Gluten Intolerance
