DISCLAIMER FOR SERVICES

There are a number of ways you may choose to work with me that are available to purchase or schedule through my website. The terms and conditions in this document apply to all of my services and products unless alternative terms are explicitly provided to you.

I offer: Naturopathic Consultations

My intention in offering these services is to support you with improving your health and wellbeing as well as addressing your health goals.  

 

WHY WORK WITH ME?

I am a Clinical Naturopath with a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) at Endeavour College of Natural Health. I am a member of Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA), which means that I have met the education criteria to join this association and I have a professional responsibility to practice adhering to their Code of Conduct standards. This ensures that clients are provided with safe and effective care. As a NHAA member, I’m also required to meet the highest standards of education and training, where I must complete numerous Continued Professional Development hours each financial year to maintain my membership to continue my own growth and development.

 
I believe it is my responsibility to carry out consultations in a professional ethical and safe manner, prioritising client informed consent. I will only practice within my scope, I will refer to a more appropriate practitioner if your health needs exceed my qualification. I will undertake ongoing professional development to ensure I meet a high standard of best practice.

 

WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU

My role is to provide support and increase your knowledge and tools to enhance your health. I require clients to be open-minded to change and potential modification of their diet and lifestyle. Together, we work as a team where I guide and provide education, whereas you take the steps to use this information to improve your health. It’s important to note that the responsibility for implementing these strategies lies with you.

If you’re looking for a quick fix without potentially changing the habits that are influencing your health, naturopathy may not be the right fit for you.

Important information about how to get the most value out of working with me is set out below. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me before proceeding with your purchase.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

With any medical or complementary medicine interventions, there are risks associated. Naturopathy is an evidence-based modality, however, if after commencing treatment you experience new symptoms, side effects or have questions about your treatment plan, please contact me immediately to discuss further.

It is possible that it may take a significant amount of time to notice results, this varies person to person. However, I do try and provide realistic expectations to each client to prevent any disappointment.

If I believe you require an alternative medical professional such as psychologist, general practitioner or specialist, I will refer you based on your needs. Your safety and welfare is very important to me, if I believe you are at risk, I may have to contact emergency services.

If any concerns arise during our work together, I strongly recommend you seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

 

You will get the most out of working with me if you are:

-   Open minded to making dietary and lifestyle changes

-   Willing to follow my advice and put in hard work to get the results you want

-   Honest about diet and lifestyle choices so we know how to help you best

-   Take responsibility for your choices

 

You might not be a good fit for this work if:

-   You are unwilling to make the necessary changes advised to your lifestyle for bettering your overall health. I am always happy to compromise, have an open conversation about it and adapt to suit your needs. I will only make recommendations if I believe they will reduce the severity of symptoms, improve your health and reach your health goals. Please let me know if you are struggling and we can try adapt to accommodate your needs.
