Come up and see me some time!

As a quick fix for a single problem, one 30 minute session may be all you need. Conditions that can be treated this way include

If in doubt, contact me to see whether a short consultation is right for you.

For severe, complex or long standing conditions, we have an initial full consultation that typically takes 90 minutes. In that time we discuss the condition you want treatment for, your medical history, diet and lifestyle, and build up a picture of your general health. We meet again for half an hour 2-4 weeks later to check on your progress, and then at 3-6 week intervals until your condition is stabilised.

Length of treatment varies enormously, but this is a rough guide.

• For chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, expect half a dozen appointments at 3-4 week intervals to get your symptoms properly under control. After that, you can order repeat prescriptions as you need them, and will need an annual check up to ensure that your medicines still meet your needs.
• For PMS, heavy or painful periods, expect an appointment once per cycle until the problem is resolved, usually within 3-6 months.
• For conditions that flare up from time to time, such as eczema, migraine or tonsillitis, expect appointments at 3-4 week intervals until things calm down. Then we can discuss preventative treatment and diet and lifestyle measures to keep things under control.
