Your initial consultation is the starting point. This consultation aims to gain a deep understanding of you and your health concerns / goals. Your qualified naturopathic practitioner assesses things such as medical and family history, lifestyle, diet and the function of your body systems. This information allows your practitioner to create a bespoke care plan and recommendations that are aligned with you and your health goals.

Alongside your individualised plan, you may receive a naturopathic prescription which may include herbal and/or nutraceutical medicine. We prescribe with intention and consider any medication or collaborative care you may be undergoing.

Where indicated, your practitioner may recommend testing such as blood tests or functional tests such as microbiome tests to further understand the underlying factors that may be affecting your health.

Review consultations follow your initial appointment. Your practitioner will review your plan, progress, any pathology findings or testing as you continue to implement sustainable changes towards your health goals.

Our practitioners offer a range of functional testing options to help investigate and identify potential drivers of symptoms. Testing is utilised as a tool based on your current symptoms and health goals to help streamline support that is informed by what is actually happening in your body. Tests are recommended where indicated.

Functional Testing Examples

• Microbiome testing such as gut and vaginal

• Salivary testing for cortisol

• Comprehensive blood tests
