SERVICES

Naturopathic consultations

A consultation is a place to discuss your health concerns, current care and the questions you want answered before deciding on a service.

Start with the person and the purpose

HESCA’s existing website introduces naturopathic services. Contact the clinic to confirm the practitioner, the current services offered and the scope of the consultation you are considering.

Useful things to discuss

  • Your goals and the questions most important to you.
  • How a proposed service relates to your existing care and medications.
  • Relevant evidence, limitations, possible risks and alternatives.
  • The provider, fees and any follow-up arrangements.

A consultation comes before a decision

Reading about a service does not establish whether it is suitable for you. Ask the practitioner to explain the specific proposal and the information you need to make an informed decision.

Before choosing your next step

  1. Your reason for enquiring

  2. The proposed consultation

    Who would provide it, what does it involve, and what are the fees?

  3. Options and follow-up

    What alternatives, limitations and follow-up arrangements should you discuss?

A professional profile is easier to understand when education, current professional status and the person's role are described separately. Public regulatory directories provide a starting point for checking that information.
