What happens during a consultation?

Homeopathy & Natural Health:

This type of consultation is a talking therapy. I will ask you questions about the presenting condition but also about your health and background more generally so we can establish a timeline that led up to why you are seeing me. I’ll be looking for any underlying causes, susceptibilities or obstacles to getting better which will help in selecting the best course of action. Remedy recommendations are individualised and more often than not include herbal, supplement, diet and lifestyle advice as well where appropriate. After the consultation, I will put together a prescription with instructions and advice based on what we covered during the consultation.

Reiki:

is a hands on energy treatment. We start with a short consultation and then the client usually lays down (but can sit if more comfortable) to receive the treatment. Treatments are fully clothed (only shoes and glasses are removed) with blankets available for extra comfort. 

How long is an appointment?

Homeopathy & Natural Health:

First consultations are 60-90 mins - as we need to cover a lot of background

Follow up appointments are usually 45-60 mins where we will review progress and adjust remedies where needed  

Acute appointments are 30 mins and for short term conditions that crop up and need supporting (In a medical emergency always contact your GP or emergency services)  

Reiki treatments:

First appointments are 60-75 mins

Follow up appointments are generally 60 mins

How many appointments will I need?

Homeopathy & Natural Health:

I would generally suggest committing to 3 appointments over a 3 month period. While some conditions have taken many years to develop and will need more time to unravel, others see results after 1-2 appointments. What can happen is the presenting complaint clears and the patient wants to work more deeply on the causes of the condition, while others simply return if/when needed in the future. We can work out an appropriate treatment strategy to suit you and I will follow your lead on how deeply you would like to work on yourself.

Reiki:

is excellent as a stand alone treatment so can be received as often as the client feels necessary and can safely run alongside other therapies or I offer a course of treatments if you feel you need more regular support during a challenging time. See pricing for details of the Reiki packages.

As Reiki is cumulative, the more treatments you have the more energy connection is built up over time - however, one-off treatments can be very beneficial for topping up general well-being and taking a well deserved opportunity to relax, too. 

Contact me to discuss what would work best for you.

If you feel you would benefit from a combination of treatments, we can work out a programme of care to suit your individual needs and requirements. 

How will I receive the remedies?

Once we’ve had our consultation I will work on what you’ve told me and put together a treatment plan with instructions and any further advice to support the remedies. Remedies can be posted out to you or are available for collection and sometimes delivery. Sometimes remedies can be made up straight after the consultation if you are able to wait and some repeat prescriptions can be prepared in advance of our appointment to take away with you.

If you have any concerns about the packaging or the remedies themselves, let me know. For example, Some patients prefer dispensers for the pills or a liquid version as they are easier to handle than the little pills. Some patients prefer paper and glass over plastic. Some patients need lactose free pills and some need flower essences that are not preserved in alcohol.
