What to expect for your Initial Naturopathic consult

On booking, you will be sent a simple online health questionnaire to complete so I can get a sense of your health story and history before we sit down together.

Send through a 3 day food diary including time of the day, and how much of what you eat and drink on a typical day vs the weekend. -
