What to Expect at Your First Consultation
Your initial naturopathic consultation is unlike a standard GP appointment. This is your time — unhurried, thorough, and completely focused on you.
When you arrive at our Brunswick clinic, you will be warmly welcomed and asked to complete a brief health intake form before your consultation begins. This helps your naturopath hit the ground running and ensures no important details are missed.
During your consultation your naturopath will:
- Take a thorough and detailed health history covering your current concerns, past health issues, family history, diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, and more
- Listen — really listen — to your story without rushing or interrupting
- Conduct any relevant physical assessments
- Discuss any diagnostic testing that may help clarify your health picture
- Explain their findings clearly and in plain language — no jargon
- Begin developing a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to you
- Walk you through their recommendations and answer every question you have
By the end of your first appointment you will have a clear understanding of what is contributing to your health concerns and a realistic, personalised plan of action to move forward.
A Few Things to Know
- Your first consultation runs for 60 minutes — please arrive a few minutes early to allow time to complete your intake form
- Wear comfortable clothing and try to avoid heavy meals in the hour before your appointment
- If you are attending for colonic hydrotherapy, specific preparation instructions will be provided at the time of booking
- If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us at least 24 hours notice so we can offer your appointment to another patient
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To make the most of your initial consultation, a little preparation goes a long way. Before your appointment we recommend:
- Writing down your current symptoms, how long you’ve had them, and anything that makes them better or worse
- Making a note of any medications, supplements, or vitamins you are currently taking
- Thinking about your diet, sleep patterns, stress levels, and lifestyle habits — your naturopath will ask about all of these
- Gathering any recent blood tests, pathology results, or specialist reports you may have — the more information we have, the better
- Arriving with an open mind and ready to have an honest conversation about your health — there are no wrong answers here
What to Bring
- Any recent pathology results, blood tests, or specialist letters
- A list of current medications and supplements including dosages
- Your Medicare card and private health insurance card if applicable
- Any relevant health history documents you feel may be useful
