Statement of Acknowledgement and Informed consent to Examination and compilation of protocol.

This form must be signed before our consultation can commence.

I utilise the principles and practices of Naturopathic medicine and other supportive therapies to assist the body’s own ability to heal and to improve the quality of life and health through natural means. Naturopathy and Naturopathic nutrition assess the whole person, assessing mental, emotional and physical health. During your visit, a thorough health history will be taken and if needed examination such as hip to waist measurements (No clothes need to be removed), blood pressure monitored, weight measured could be taken, and specific lab diagnostic tests will be required by other health care practitioners you have/are seeing or through private testing laboratories.
​

2. The methods I may use have a proven clinical foundation, yet may not be recognised or accepted by standard (allopathic) medicine.
3. The treatment and/or referral to other health care practitioners is based on the assessment of your health, revealed through personal history, examination, laboratory testing, and any other appropriate method of evaluation.
4. I reserve the right to determine which cases fall outside my scope of practice, in which event the appropriate referral will be recommended.
5. You are not an agent of any private or government agency attempting to gather information without so stating your intentions.

7. You are accepting or rejecting this care of your own free will.
8. The ultimate responsibility for your health care is your own and that I am here to support you in this. I reserve the right to discontinue my services where it is apparent that your expectations and what I can provide are not in agreement.
