What to expect at a 1:1 consultation?

Depending on the health issue, your first consultation can take up 90 minutes, whereby you are given the opportunity to share your health and wellness concerns and any other information that is relevant to your story.  Broader questions about your medical history, diet, lifestyle and other aspects of your health will also be discussed. 

The bespoke one-to-one initial consultation will include:

• In-depth discussion of current issue

• Detailed health case history

• Diagnostic techniques from western herbal medicine and orthodox medicine

• Personalised medical prescription

• Diet/Lifestyle/Supplement recommendations (where applicable)

• Where appropriate, clinical examinations, such as taking blood pressure, respiratory examination etc. are carried out. Further tests, e.g. blood tests, may also be recommended if necessary.

 

At the end of the initial consultation, Geri will discuss with you a wellness protocol and provide a tailored treatment plan. This may include:

• A personalised blend of herbs designed for you and dispensed by Geri in her clinic. These may be in the form of tinctures, teas or topical applications

• Dietary advice

• Nutritional supplements

 

Follow-up consultations / Ongoing herbal support

• After the initial consultation, Geri likes to have you back for a return appointment within 2-4 weeks (depending) to see how things are going, monitor any progress towards achieving your wellness goals, and make any necessary changes to your herbal protocol. Depending on your consultation package, you will be encouraged to reschedule once a month until you feel you have reached your goals.

• Repeat prescriptions are also available for conditions that need long term management e.g. osteoarthritis.
