Hi! My name's Rachel, and I'm so happy you're here.

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasises the body's innate ability to heal itself. It combines traditional healing methods with modern science to promote wellness and prevent illness. As a Naturopath, I aim to treat the whole person, including your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, rather than only addressing or suppressing symptoms. I use natural medicines such as herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, flower essences, nutritional counseling and lifestyle advice.
You can best prepare for your appointment by completing your client intake form as honestly and thoroughly as possible, as this will guide our first session together. I also recommend that you think about your health goals, or what areas of your health you would most like to work on so you can make the most of your appointment.
Directly prior to your appointment, please ensure you have a reliable internet connection and fully charged device to join our Telehealth appointment. As I value your privacy and confidentiality, please ensure that you are in a quiet and private location before entering the call.
After your first consultation, you will receive a prescription that may include any of the following: herbal medicine, supplements, dietary and/or lifestyle recommendations, flower essences or referral for further investigations (such as pathology or functional testing).
When you first commence your treatment plan, you may experience an exacerbation in your symptoms. It is important to keep me informed of any changes, and to cease any treatment if your symptoms do not improve after a few days.
I recommend booking a Follow-Up consultation 2-4 weeks after your initial consultation, by which time you are likely to experience an improvement in your symptoms and treatment may remain the same, or we may tweak it as needed.
Healing is a process that takes time, investment in your self and patience. You can expect to work with me for 3-6 months, depending on your presenting condition. Those with chronic illness, or more long-standing conditions, may choose to work with me on an ongoing basis.
