What to
expect during your appointment

How much does it cost?

Initial consultations $85. 

Follow up appointments $65.

Short acute appointments $45.

 

Any prescribed supplements are additional and herbal medicines dispensed have a standard price guide that covers most of the herbs that are typically used.

For example, a 50ml course of liquid extracts will cost $24, a 100ml bottle will cost $36 and a 200ml bottle will cost $58. Jars of herbal tea will typically cost around $20 to $30. Payment can be made in cash or by direct internet deposit on the same day of the appointment. 

How long does it take?

You should allow at least 60-90 minutes for the first appointment and possibly longer as needed if, for example, you have a

complex health history and I need more time to get all the details about this.  Follow up appointments are typically shorter, around 30-45mins.  Short or acute appointments are also available for

existing clients. 

What do you have to bring?

You only need to bring yourself, but some people find it helpful to write a list of their concerns and/or to make some notes about their medical history; e.g. what has happened, what was done to help and how it worked. You can bring copies of medical tests if you wish but this is not required and is probably only really important when something abnormal has been reported. You are certainly warmly welcome to bring a partner or other support person to your appointment if you wish.  

What can you expect to happen in the appointment?

You will be asked about what problems are troubling you and then there will be further questions to help understand more about you and your health history.

 

At some point you will be asked to poke out your tongue.

Tongues tell us a lot about what is happening inside people and, over the course of treatments, they go through subtle but important changes.

​

I will also spend time feeling the pulses at your wrist and, later in the appointment, may again use your pulse to help test some herbs that I am thinking of giving you.

​

At some point you may also be asked to lie down on an examination table to have your belly or other areas of concern gently palpated over a layer of clothing.

​

By the end of the appointment, you will be given a course of one or more herbs to take and there will very likely also be some achievable goal that we will have both agreed to work on to further support your healing process.

​

You will also have a dialogue with me about how to best follow up on your progress to be sure that you are getting good results in a timely manner!
