Naturopathic Consultations
Step 1 - Book an Appointment.
A Health Questionnaire will be emailed to you to fill out before the initial consultation.
Consultations involve an in-depth case take of your current health & medical history, assessing all your body systems, reviewing nutrition and lifestyle factors and assessing any health concerns you may have.
​
Our goal is to listen to and facilitate the body’s own natural healing power using nutrition, mineral therapy, medical herbs & lifestyle practices.
​
I will create an indididual health plan with you, this may include nutrition, mineral/vitamin therapy, medicinal herbs, bach flowers, exercise, stress management and/or lifestyle changes to improve your health, and referrals to applicable health modalities.

Follow up appointments provide continued support to help you make the changes needed to obtain optimal health, to keep you motivated, support you to achieve your goals, assess your progress, discuss any changes you may be experiencing, and to amend the plan as your health improves.
