How much will my treatment plan cost?
We will always work within your budget. Whilst there may be recommendations that will be made based on what you present with, it is important that we work within your budget, as it has to be sustainable for you to continue with long term if needed. Treatment plans can be altered during your Return / Follow up consultations to support your current health picture, but we will always have an open conversation around what is within your budget so we can support you at every step of your health journey without financial stress.
What can I expect from my consultation?
Your initial consultation will include an extensive review of your case history to ensure we capture all relevant information about your health. There are lots of questions in this consultation so we can get a well rounded view of your health journey in order to start building a robust foundation to get you thriving.
Return and Follow up consultations can include reviewing your current treatment plan, going over test results or as additional support as needed. Whereas acute consults are short appointments to provide support during a cold or flu.
Can Naturopathy work alongside conventional medicine?
Absolutely! It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Naturopathic care can work beautifully alongside conventional medicine as an adjunct therapy to support you whilst you see your usual GP. We work collaboratively alongside your other practitioners to make sure you receive the best care possible.
Please note: it is always important to let your Naturopath know if you are on any medications and letting your GP know if you are taking any herbs prescribed by your Naturopath.
