Follow-Up Naturopathic Consultations
A follow-up consultation gives us time to review how things are going, make sense of any changes, and decide together what the next steps should be.
Your health and circumstances can change over time. A follow-up is an opportunity to look at what has improved, what is still challenging, and whether your treatment plan needs to change.
The aim isn’t to keep adding more to your plan. It’s about focusing on what is most useful for you now.
What happens in a follow-up consultation?
Your follow-up consultation is guided by what has happened since your previous appointment.
Depending on your needs, we may:
- Review your progress and discuss what has or hasn’t been working
- Talk through any changes in your symptoms, health or circumstances
- Review nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle and other factors affecting your health
- Review supplements, herbal medicines or other recommendations and make adjustments where appropriate
- Consider new medications, diagnoses or relevant test results
- Work through any challenges you’ve encountered with your plan
- Prioritise what to focus on next
There isn’t a set protocol for follow-up care. The conversation and recommendations are shaped by your health, your progress and what you need at that point in your journey.
Choose the appointment that suits you
60-Minute Follow-Up Consultation — $110
A 60-minute follow-up gives us time to take a more in-depth look at your progress and any changes since your previous consultation.
This may be helpful when you have several things you would like to discuss, your health has changed, or we need more time to review your treatment plan and decide what comes next.
45-Minute Follow-Up Consultation — $85
A 45-minute appointment can be a good option when you need a focused review rather than a longer consultation.
We can review your progress, address specific concerns and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
Reactivation Consultation — $120
If it has been more than 12 months since your last consultation, a reactivation appointment gives us time to look at your health again more comprehensively.
A lot can change over a year. Your symptoms, medications, lifestyle, health priorities and circumstances may be different from when we last worked together.
Rather than simply picking up where we left off, we take the time to understand what has changed and reassess what support may be appropriate now.
Your care can change as your health changes
You don’t need to commit to ongoing appointments. Some people may only need a few consultations to get started, while others find that occasional follow-up appointments are useful as their health, circumstances or goals change.
The frequency of appointments is something we can decide together based on what you need.
Online Follow-Up Consultations Throughout New Zealand
You don’t need to be in Christchurch to continue your care. Follow-up consultations are available online by video or phone throughout New Zealand.
Your online consultation follows the same personalised process as an in-person appointment. We take time to understand what’s changed since your previous consultation and decide together what approach may be most appropriate.
Where appropriate, herbal medicines or supplements can be arranged through my dispensary and delivered to you.
