Initial Consultation - $128
Inclusions and expectations
Initial consultations are structured to gain a detailed understanding of your health journey, and identify the root causes to your health concerns. We will delve into personal and family health history, past experiences, relationship with food, stress management and sleep, amongst other factors. Basic in-clinic testing may be run to understand your physiological presentation, and if weight is part of your concern, we will be running a full body, Bioimpedance Analysis. This process uses high tech scales, which run a mild electrical current through your body to determine body percentages of fat, muscle, fluid, bone, and visceral fat. This is a very useful tool for measuring change in the body in response to treatment.
As part of your initial consultation, we will review any previous blood work you may have – please bring paper copies of previous testing to your consultation, or email copies through with your initial paperwork 24 hours prior to your consultation time. Additional testing may be recommended, and Stephanie has access to the most cutting edge functional testing in the country, including microbiome mapping, hormone testing, food intolerance testing etc.
At the end of your initial consultation you will leave with a sound understanding of what may be the underlying root cause for your health condition, and what we will be doing in the coming months to correct it. You may be prescribed various herbal and nutritional supplements if indicated and will be given diet and lifestyle advice to adhere to in preparation for your follow up consultation. Your personalised treatment plan will be emailed out within 3 business days, and any products ordered can either be collected on the spot from out naturopathic dispensary at Wray Organic Mt Gravatt, where the physical clinic is, or either collected at a later date or posted to your home if particular products need to be ordered in or the consultation is via telehealth.
Follow-Up Consultations - $98
Follow-up consultations will take 30-45 minutes and are typically scheduled every 3 – 6 weeks depending on pathology results, adherence to protocols, and personal journeys. During this consultation your wellness plan will be assessed and adjusted as needed. New pathology results will be reviewed and explained, and any changes necessary will be discussed and recorded in your updated treatment plan. These appointments are a crucial part of your wellness journey to keep you on track and make changes as needed. Typically there is a system in place where underlying causes are treated sequentially, meaning that the natural health journey is never a one stop shop, rather a process which will be tailored to your personal situation over a series of months.
Acute Care Consultation - $50
Acute care consultations are available via phone for new and existing patients to deal with an immediate concern, such as immune support, viral infection, bacterial infection, injuries etc. They take 15 minutes and allow Stephanie to briefly review the case and any medical interactions to a temporary support protocol including herbal and nutritional support. This allows for the safe and ethical prescription of practitioner only products for an acute situation.
Immune support package
This consultation comes under the banner of Acute Care packages. In this consultation Stephanie can evaluate your circumstances, medications, risks and interactions, and then prescribe accordingly. A base prescription will include vital nutrients such as activated B group Vitamins and Vitamin C. A personalised approach is then taken to identify the next tier of support and will evaluate risk of inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, or risk of circulatory disturbance. The final tier of personalised support will address additional needs such as gut microbiome, stress and inflammation if needed.
It is important to understand that Stephanie does not treat, diagnose, or cure any diseases or illnesses, including the current viral threat. As a Naturopath and Nutritionist with a degree in Health Science, Stephanie does however understand how to provide the body with the required building blocks needed for a healthy immune system, and can identify and correct associated nutritional deficiencies. She can also offer symptomatic relief for viral and respiratory infections such as colds and flus.
