Phone Consultations for Nutrition and Naturopathy
Distance Nutrition and Naturopathic consultations are an easy and convenient option for many patients who are wanting advice via phone or online. This option is available to both new patients or existing patients needing a review consultation but cannot access the clinic.
Stacie is our Clinical Nutritionist who works in conjunction with Sandra Sapio, our Clinical Naturopath and Acupuncturist to support patients in achieving optimal wellbeing.
Patients will need to book an appointment with Stacie for a Nutrition consultation, which is the most important foundational aspect to get right before any healing, optimisation of your health, or support for your hormones or fertility can begin.
Sandra is available for naturopathic support once you have implemented the necessary nutritional changes with Stacie.
Initial Consultation
Upon making an appointment, you will receive an email with a detailed new patient information form that will ask questions about all the relevant information we will need relating to your health. This allows us as much information as possible about your lifestyle, diet, medications, current and past-history health, procedures or significant health events as well as presenting symptoms.
For IVF patients an additional form is sent out for you to complete which give us details on previous IVF cycles, the medications used and the outcomes with each cycle whether stimulated (fresh) or frozen cycles.
Couples
If you require a joint fertility support consultation for both you and your partner, we also offer a reduced fee for couples. This is a popular option for couples who cannot attend the clinic in person due to working outside normal business hours.
