Several consultations are required, based on regular intervals, depending on the severity of the situation.

The first consultation takes about an hour and a half. A lot of history and backround knowledge is taken.

Following consultations are to discover your response to the remedy and to refine the potency and frequency. This takes about three quarters of an hour.

Consultations consist of taking your history, so is mostly verbal. Rarely is examination needed, which can be so physically intrusive or invasive.

The remedy acts on the whole person, bringing back balance and harmony. More energy, motivation and refreshing sleep are the first improvements seen, reflecting the return of health to the whole body. Physical ailments may improve immediately or after balance is more fully restored.

Very occasionally, a person can suffer a slight worsening of the physical symptoms. Normally this is a good sign and is mild and of short duration. As it is accompanied by a greater sense of well-being, it can go unnoticed or with little concern.

Consultations are completely confidential.

It is best to come alone (or in the case of a child, with one parent), as extra family members create distractions, making an accurate assessment less likely in the time available.

All consultations are by appointment.

The majority of my consultations are in person in my clinic in the Swan Valley, outside Perth.

Adult initial consultation (and children over ten years of age) is $90.

Follow up consultations are $65.

Children under ten years of age are $65.

Animal consultation is $60.

Call out charges apply, the amount depending on the distance traveled.

All consultations include the cost of the homoeopathic treatment. There are occasions when I recommend a supplement or a herbal treatment, and these costs are extra to the price of the consultation. While these are recommended, they are entirely optional.

When considering homoeopathic treatment, it is a good idea to budget for frequent visits in the early stages. This can be weekly (in severe or serious conditions) or monthly. Once both you and I are satisfied the remedy is doing a good job, consultations can be dropped back to when you feel things aren't going as well as they were.

Whilst there is no obligation to follow up regularly or to book a set number of sessions, my experience has been that making a commitment to your own health improvement is a crucial step in the direction of deep and lasting personal good health.

All the major health funds cover homoeopathy.

Telephone and email consultations are available for those who live too far away to come in person. While there is a limit to what I can do on the phone, it can still be enormously beneficial. Please click here to fill in the required questionnaire.
