Natural /Pastoral Medicine

Some Background

Your present state of health arises from many factors including your dietary habits, past and present lifestyle, family background etc. In your first consultation, these and other factors, as well as your particular concerns, are normally reviewed. Recommendations arising from an individualized consultation may include changes in your nutritional and lifestyle pattern along with supportive nutritional supplementation and/or phytotherapeutic (herbal)/homeopathic treatment protocols, acupuncture, compresses, leg wraps, lymphatic tissue work, soft tissue work, chiropractic/osteopathic treatment(s), counselling, personal exercise protocols of various types, and much more.

A follow-up appointment is normally arranged from one to three weeks after your first visit. This provides an opportunity to review your progress, answer your questions and make additional recommendations should this be necessary. Further appointments are scheduled as required.

To enhance your progress, it is recommended that you continue with a suggested treatment protocol which may include supplementation along with other forms of treatment until individual optimal healing is achieved. For these reasons we utilize high quality, professional level supplements, proven through research, which offer enhanced bio-availability. We provide these types of formulations exclusively to our patients. Since your requirements will likely change as your treatment progresses, it is important that your progress be monitored. Follow-up consultations are scheduled as required.

It is advantageous to the patient to follow recommendations in order to achieve optimal healing and well being.
