A consultation with naturopath Eric Bakker is built around listening to each individual’s health story. During the initial consultation, an in-depth and detailed case history is taken, including detailed medical, diet and exercise history, as well as lifestyle and occupational habits to gain a holistic sense of the person’s health picture.
An initial consultation generally is one hour in length, depending on the case, but may be up to one and a half hours. The treatment recommendations are based on each individual’s goals, abilities, as well as limitations. The treatment is also designed so each person feels comfortable with it and is ready to integrate it into his or her daily life.
Naturopathic Medicine recognises and respects that each person is unique and therefore the healing plan (program) that is developed must be reflective of each person’s individuality – one size does not fit all.
A person’s treatment recommendations will change and develop as they continue to improve their health and well-being. Follow-up consultations to gauge the changes that have occurred in a person’s health concerns generally last 30 minutes. The frequency and number of follow-up consultations is entirely dependent on each individual case. Generally, we like to see a patient monthly, but this may change to fortnightly or even weekly in certain circumstances.
