At Wings for Wellness Naturopathy, we use the first consultation to take an in-depth case analysis. This is so important and will become the foundation of your journey moving forward. We need to know what has happened in your past to be able to move forward. During the consultation we will also conduct some simple in-clinic observations and physical examinations. It is amazing what we can tell about the body just by looking at your physical appearance.
There may be a need for further testing if we decide that we need to investigate further. In this case you will be referred back to your GP for a request for blood work, or, we will order the pathology and testing for you.
Usually, by the end of the first consultation we have an idea of where to start your “Health & Wellness Plan”. It will contain diet and lifestyle advice and may include Herbal or Supplemental medicine if indicated. If your case is complex or further investigation is required, the second consultation will be used to discuss a plan moving forward.
Depending on the complexity of the case, more than one consultation is generally required. This is especially the case when a person has been suffering with a condition for a long time. As with everything, there are no quick fixes and Naturopathy is based on creating lifetime wellness.
