How does an Online Consultation work?

When you book in for an online consultation, I will shoot through to you an email with a calendar invitation.

In this email there will also be a web link which you click on to access our Zoom Video Conference Room. (Zoom is very similar to Skype and FaceTime, and I find it more stable and I'm also able to share my screen with you).

Our meeting is 100% private and secure.

For the first consultation, I find it important that I get to see you (and you get to see me as well!) on video. In follow up consultations you can choose to hide your video, or use the phone instead, if you prefer. 

Testing
If we decide that we need to organise testing (for example to check hormone levels, food intolerances, nutritional status etc) then the pathology laboratory will send you a test collection kit where you take your own sample ( for example urine, saliva, blood spot, hair) and then you post it directly back to the laboratory for analysis.
You find out the results of any testing at our second appointment - the "Report of Findings" consultation.

Supplements
Many of the natural health supplements I prescribe are "practitioner only" which means that only a healthcare practitioner can provide or sell them. 
For online consultations, I send your script to an online natural medicine distributor, who will create an online account for you. You can then log-in, order and pay for your supplements, and have them delivered to you - sometimes in a little as two days.

How to Join a Zoom Meeting

What Can I Expect During A Naturopathic Consultation?


1. Initial Online Consultation
You can expect a first consultation to take 45-60 minutes. During your initial consultation, I will take a very thorough wellness history, asking about your diet, lifestyle, stress, medical history and environmental exposures.  This appointment is all about gathering as much information as possible, and you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire before this first appointment.

2. Report of Findings Consultation (approx 1-3 weeks after)
In this appointment I will provide you with a written treatment plan, along with a prescription for any practitioner-only supplements or a custom-blended herbal medicine if required.  If testing was arranged, then I will provide and discuss your results in this appointment. 
Your treatment plan will be written especially for you and your individual needs, taking into account your individual health requirements, commitments and budget. It is important we schedule this appointment so I can thoroughly explain your treatment plan.
​ 
3. Additional follow up appointments are also super important, and may be necessary every 2-4 weeks to monitor your progress, discuss the results of any assessments and make any adjustments as required to your treatment regime.  The initial stage of treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and stimulating the body’s natural processes to commence healing. The second stage of treatment focuses on eliminating the underlying cause of the condition and supporting your full recovery and longer term health.

Depending on your individual situation, I may need to monitor you and devise a total treatment plan for 3 - 6 months.

Often after a first appointment and a couple of weeks of treatment, clients start to feel better and don't feel the need to go through with follow up appointments. But, it is important to come back for your follow up appointments. They are a vital part of the healing journey and can make the difference between feeling just a little bit better, or feeling amazing.

Josie was so easy to talk to, and she really knows her stuff. She has this amazing depth of knowledge, and is very thorough. But she is incredibly down to Earth, practical and realistic too. -Julie V.
