Initial Consult
This appointment is to get to know you and your health concerns. The initial consult is 1 hour 15 minutes and is in two parts: 1/2 hour with Laurel ‘really listening’ to your concerns, and 1/2hr to complete our valuable in-clinic testing and some time to create the ‘first steps’ treatment plan so you can start making the first changes towards better health, as soon as your consultation is completed. We know that your time is valuable and if 30mins is all you can spare we will book you in for the first part of the initial consultation and then book you in for the testing at an appointment date/time that is more suitable for you.
At Awakening Centre we’ve learnt that shorter consultations (that means less practitioner fees, less costs to you) achieve the best results and we weave these supportive consultations at specific frequencies depending on your case. Therefore, it is my intention that we achieve the best results possible for you in the shortest time-frame possible, supporting you all the way.
I understand that the time you spend with me as your healthcare provider/educator is time that you are not with your loved ones, your family or work and community obligations.
Our in-house testing includes: VLA Quadscan, our clinical examination includes: waist/hip measurement, weight and height, vital signs, baseline urinalysis and pH as well as time honoured and informative iris/tongue/nail analysis.
To save valuable consultation time and expense, please fill out the online questionnaire prior to your first appointment.
