Consultation & Fees
Experience the unique approach of Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy & Nutritional Medicine, a holistic alternative to conventional medicine.
Consultations are available in my clinic in Hertford or online.
​Your initial consultation lasts for up to 2 hours and includes a full naturopathic case taking and muscle response testing for imbalances and food sensitivities.
​Initial consultation: up to 2 hours £195. Subsequent consultations: 1 hour £115.​
​
Prior to your consultation you will be sent a questionnaire to complete together with a 7-day food diary to record your typical daily diet. The questionnaire goes back two generations and covers your current health and past medical history from birth to the present day and questions on every body system. The questionnaire and food diary form an integral part of the naturopathic case taking and therefore need to be returned to me at least 7 days before your appointment so that I can review your case and prepare for your consultation.
Naturopathic Case Taking
I will take a full naturopathic case history covering your current health and past medical history from birth to the present day as well as looking back two generations. After taking your case I will explain the connection between current symptoms, inherited factors, treatment of previous illnesses, emotional events, diet and lifestyle and suggest dietary and lifestyle changes and naturopathic techniques that can be used to support healing so that you leave the clinic with a way forward. We will discuss what is realistic and achievable to ensure that your programme is practical for you. Depending on your vitality, we may need to work in stages beginning very slowly and gently to re-establish the optimal foundation for healing as it is important to work at the level the body can manage at the current time. I may also recommend additional functional or genetic testing to look a little deeper into your body biochemistry if I feel this would be beneficial to your case. As much as possible I look to address imbalances through diet and lifestyle rather than supplements.
​
After the the consultation, I will summarise our discussion and provide you with a written programme tailored to your individual needs along with additional resources such as recipes, recommended reading, links to relevant research papers if appropriate, helpful website links and handouts relevant to your case. Programmes typically cover a period of 8 weeks to allow sufficient time for changes to start taking effect and it is recommended that you have a follow-up consultation after 6-8 weeks to track your progress and so that I can adjust your programme as necessary.
