The Consultation
A prefilled form is quite helpful, as well as a food diary which would help me get to know a bit about you before we meet. I understand some people may not wish to fill out a lengthy form and can work around that.
On the day, we would then have a comprehensive discussion on various things such as present health concerns, medical and health history as well as that of family, medications/supplements, allergies, diet and lifestyle. This enables me to paint a picture of you and helps me better understand you. It also guides me in deciding the course of treatment. I will also take pictures of your eyes, and tongue (with your permission of course) as these give clues about what's happening inside. I will also need to take your weight and height. Sometimes l might also need to check your blood pressure and pulse. We would then wrap up the consultation with you describing what you hope to achieve with the treatment and any other concerns you might have. We would also try to work out a follow-up appointment usually 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and make necessary alterations if need be. I will then proceed to make up your herbal medicine, and post it to you within the week, or if you prefer can leave it at The Practice. I may also be to drop it off at your home.
In-person consultations are held at The Yoga Tree, a cafe and treatment studio, offering a multi-disciplnary array of holistic therapies such as yoga, counselling, reflexology, and massage among others.
Home Visits
I offer home visit consultations. If you live in Norwich (and surrounding areas,) this can be arranged if you prefer to have a consultation in the comfort of your own home. We can meet in your garden, living or dining room and proceed to have a deep discussion as it we would at the in-person consultation.
Online Consultations
Online consultations are done online, with details of the meeting shared with the client when an appointment is agreed. Please note that in certain cases, online consultation is not possible if a patient requires a physical observation or examination. I will explain this to you if this is the case.
