Naturopathic Consultations
What is Naturopathy?
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy views poor health as the result of an imbalance within the body, caused by internal and/or external factors and therefore, aims to rebalance the body. Rebalancing the body back to a state of homeostasis or equilibrium is achieved via the use of natural medicines such as: supplements, herbs, tissue salts, homeobotanicals, and/or flower essences; stress reduction therapy including: positive growth mindset, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, massage, and/or yoga; and healthy lifestyle choices such as nutrition, removal of allergens (food and environmental), exercise, good sleep hygiene, and changing negative and unhealthy habitual patterns.
Naturopathy uncovers, and treats, the underlying root cause of any health condition, rather than treating only the symptom/s. Treatment plans are individualized and designed to meet each clients specific needs, based on their current state of health, lifestyle, medical/health history, and clinical assessments and testing results. Every client is viewed in a holistic manner. All aspects of health - physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual, are considered and addressed.

A Client Registration Form and a Food Diary form will also be emailed for you to fill out and bring along to your first appointment.

This will aid in developing an appropriate, achievable, and successful treatment plan. Please fill out both forms as accurately and as detailed as possible. If you are unsure on what information to include or need assistance filling out these forms please contact the clinic.
At your initial consultation a wide range of health infomation will be gathered.

The purpose of the follow-up consultation is to identify how treatment is going and any barriers to adhering to the treatment plan, which can then be addressed. The follow-up consultation will also help identify any changes to the original treatment plan that may need to be made.
