When you make an appointment with me, and pay for your package, you will be sent a link to my online client platform.  Here you will complete and sign various forms online, including a large Naturopathic Assessment Questionnaire enabling me to assess your current health and lifestyle. This not only saves time, but is also provides a great opportunity for you to consider your own needs.

 

An in-clinic first session involves an in-depth consultation, followed by iridology, Kinesiology Muscle Response Testing and evaluation.

 

For in-clinic Kinesiology Muscle Response Testing, clients lie fully clothed on a couch, (comfortable clothing recommended) while using gentle pressure, we test the resistance of one or more muscles, usually using either an arm or a leg, to pinpoint internal imbalances.  Where an imbalance is found I will focus on the most effective health solutions to help bring about the restoration of inner harmony.

 

I may sometimes suggest a laboratory test, such as a hair mineral test, or only very occasionally a stool test or blood test.  Naturopathy encompass a broad spectrum of therapies, but there may be occasions where I feel it appropriate to refer you to a practitioner within a different field or for conventional medical help.  Note that Naturopathy does not "treat", "heal" or diagnose.  We educate a person on how to nurture their predispositions and how to help bring their body back to balance so that it can start its innate healing process.

 

Consultations are a combination of taking very detailed naturopathic nutrition case history looking back at two generations, and case interpretation.  I use a blend of many disciplines when interpreting and supporting a case history including Western Nutritional Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine philosophies, Ayurvedic Medicine, 5 Element Chinese Medicine, Iridology, Kinesiology Muscle Response Testing, Colour Therapy, Sound Therapy, Red Light Therapy (Phototherapy), Homeopathy, Homotoxicology (complex homeopathic remedies), Flower Essences, Herbs, Buteyko Clinical Breathing training.  We are all totally unique in our requirements, and programmes are tailor made to the individual, however if there is one area that you are especially drawn to, please let me know.

​

You should allow a budget of £1-£3 per day for supplements.  Perhaps give up your daily takeaway coffee and that will cover it!  Generally, more nutritional support in the form of supplements is needed at the onset of treatment, and this usually decreases as your health improves.  Nutritional Supplements, Flower Essences

 

How many visits will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the nature of the problem, and the length of time you have suffered from it. Most people start to see improvement within around 6 - 8 weeks, however a very rough guide is a month for every year you've had the problem.  As you start to feel better the gap between visits widen.  Health problems such as injuries or back / neck pain usually require more frequent visits to the clinic .
