It is only during a initial consultation or subsequent follow up appointment that I will be ensuring safety of natural medicine prescription for your individual case.

If you are taking any natural medicine supplement for your health condition whether or not you are on medication, you are doing so at your own risk. Please seek advice from your primary health care practitioner if you have any concerns or queries.

 SPECIFIC DISCLAIMER 

This relates to a face to face online or phone initial appointment. Where I conduct a thorough case taking session to evaluate current health status and investigate the root cause of any health issues or symptoms presenting. Questions will be asked to assess how body systems are functioning (digestive, reproductive, respiratory, hepatobiliary, muscular, nervous, skin, urinary), evaluate family history and any genetic predispositions to illness, evaluate personal health history, dietary evaluation to investigate nutritional status and look for any potential deficiencies or food sensitivities, intolerances, allergies. Questions will be asked regarding current lifestyle, sleep habits, exercise, work, hobbies to evaluate if any improvements to lifestyle are needed to improve presenting health complaints or symptoms. A brief Iridology reading may be conducted towards the end of the consultation as well as other physical examinations such as skin, hair, nail, tongue and/or blood pressure. Any current medications or supplements will be documented and any relevant pathology tests will be looked at.

The initial consultation is required so I can have all the essential information required to formulate a specific natural treatment plan and appropriate natural medicine prescription. All factors must be considered and assessed to perform a holistic health review and identify important systems, pathology or symptoms that are a priority for treatment. A thorough case taking session is essential to have knowledge and understanding of what the client’s current health status is, what the purpose of his or her visit is and how I can help. Medications, Supplements and Pathology results are required so I can prescribe beneficial and safe natural treatment

 [YOUR RESPONSIBILITY]

My clients need to be aware and understand that I am not a medical practitioner and I cannot diagnose or cure any medical condition or illness. I do not claim to guarantee results even if I have had success with another client in a similar situation.

 During the consultation I need to know as much as possible about a symptom, illness, situation or response so I can make an accurate decision for advice and prescription to increase chances of improvements for you.

I need to know if you are allergic to any medication, food, drink, chemical, substance, herb, nutrient, supplement, material and/or animal/insect. I need to know if you are taking any drugs- pharmaceutical, legal or illegal.

I need to know if you are pregnant or trying to fall pregnant or are breast feeding.

I need to be informed if your situation or health status changes during the course of treatment, especially if falling pregnant, developing an illness or new symptoms arise.

I also need to know if anything about your health situation changes including development of a new illness, symptom or issue, pregnancy or any other health issue

I need to know if you have a filled prescription of a new medication or change of a current medication occurs or if you cease a pharmaceutical medication or supplement. Herbal medicine and Nutritional Supplements

 Please notify me if you experience any current symptom getting worse.

 Dietary Planning

I am qualified in Nutritional medicine which is a part of my Bachelor in Health Science (Naturopathy). This means I can legally provide nutritional advice to clients.

During the initial consultation I will evaluate your current diet and ask questions about what type food you are eating on daily basis. I will be asking you to provide me with examples of your breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and any deserts or treats you will eat. I will be asking about the amount of liquids you consume including water, coffee, tea and other beverages both non alcoholic and alcoholic. I will be asking you to specify what fruit and vegetables, animal and vegetarian protein sources, dairy and non dairy products, carbohydrates, fats and any other miscellaneous types of food you consume either regularly or occasionally.

I offer dietary planning as a service because it is essential to improve nutritional status, correct deficiencies and remove any food groups that may be causing sensitivities, intolerances, inflammation or contributing to the symptom or overall illness of the client.

A thorough dietary evaluation is essential to ensure a beneficial treatment plan is provided so I can make professional and accurate nutritional decisions. The consultation is a safe and non judgmental space and I want you to feel comfortable sharing your personal information about what you eat and drink.

I will also only collaborate with other qualified health professionals, therapists, coaches, instructors or business owners who have sound knowledge and training in their industry. This is to ensure all activities and information provided is safe and beneficial for all parties involved.
