what to expect from a consultation
During the initial one hour consultation - be prepared to talk about yourself!
Ayurveda emphasises balance in all areas of life so I will take an extensive personal and medical history to better understand many aspects of your life including your diet, your professional life and working conditions, relationships, lifestyle and exercise routines. After the consultation a selection of Ayurvedic herbs, tonics or oils will usually be prescribed for you to take home. Shortly afterwards you will receive a personalised plan with lifestyle advice tailored to you, details on how to take the herbs and of course a nutrition sheet of foods to avoid and foods to enjoy as an integral part of your treatment.
BEYOND THE FIRST CONSULTATION
Ideally, a 30 minute follow-up consultation takes place 3-4 weeks later, in order to discuss your progress, answer any questions or make any changes to your personalised plan as necessary. Herbal supplements will continue to be prescribed for the course of your treatment. Regular follows ups every 3-6 weeks are recommended until you are ready to gently come off any herbs and we can implement a maintenance plan for you to follow going forward at which point your treatment is complete.
The length of the treatment depends on factors such as how the disease has developed and the type of support needed by the individual to incorporate healing changes into their life.
It is important to remember Ayurveda is never about a 'quick-fix' or papering over the cracks, but correcting and strengthening the foundations for a healthy body and mind, removing the need for long-term medication.
