Naturopathic Consultations - Online and in Wānaka
Initial Consultation
This is a must for all first time patients to Naturally Nourish. This allows time to gain a comprehensive understanding about your current health and symptoms. We will take a deep dive into your health history, lifestyle, diet & any other symptoms, complaints or questions you may have. This thorough assessment helps to make connections and help identify the root cause or triggers of your health complaint. You will receive your individualised treatment plan within a week of this consultation.
Follow- Up Consultation
This follow-up consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss anything related to your health concern and treatment plan one on one. It is part of an ongoing process of reevaluating and providing underlying support to guide you through your path to optimal health and wellness. During your consultation we will assess your progress and make any necessary changes in your treatment plan, review test results & continue to guide you in making long term lifestyle changes.
Children's Consultation
These consultations are for children 16 years old or younger, and are designed to support the unique needs of children with gentle and natural approaches. We will discuss your your child’s medical history, diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors to develop a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan. Whether it's eczema, digestive issues, allergies, or general health concerns, our approach aims to support your child's body in a natural and gentle way, empowering them to thrive.
Diagnostic Testing Analysis
This consultation follows your initial consult and allows extra time to cover your progress. This is specifically for those who have undergone diagnostic testing, such as microbiome mapping and DUTCH hormone testing and we will review those results. Any indicated treatment options will be discussed, and you will receive your updated treatment plan with 24 hours.
Blood Test Review
This is for those who have blood test results and are wanting a second opinion. Or perhaps you have received blood results and have no idea what they mean! I am here to help. As a naturopath, I look at blood results within optimal ranges, which are often narrower and much higher for markers and nutrients. You will receive an easy to read summary of your results, along with possible indicators. This is not a treatment plan, but rather a snapshot of key findings in easy to understand terminology.
Mini- Consultation
This mini-consultation will give you access to high-quality practitioner grade supplements. This is great for those who have an acute issue, such as colds and flus. This can also be done over email. If you are experiencing issues with fertility, hormonal issues, need a more thorough health assessment, or would like nutrition advice, please book an initial consultation.
Functional Testing
Each case is different, and you may be advised to undergo testing to support your health journey. Sometimes it’s best to test, not guess - especially if you’ve been experiencing chronic or unresolved symptoms.
All testing is at an additional cost and can only be recommended after a thorough initial consultation. If you’re interested in exploring this, let Nicole know during your appointment and she’ll advise you on the most appropriate options for your individual needs.
Testing currently offered at Naturally Nourish:
• Hormone Profiles – These are non-invasive, at-home tests using dried urine to assess imbalances in sex and adrenal hormones. They provide a comprehensive look at how your body is producing and metabolising hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol. Nicole will recommend the most relevant profile based on your symptoms and case history.
• Food & Environmental Sensitivity Testing – Usually done via a small blood spot or skin prick, these tests identify immune reactions (IgG, IgA, IgE) to foods or environmental triggers. They’re helpful if you're dealing with ongoing inflammation, allergies, skin issues, or gut discomfort that may be linked to sensitivities.
• Microbiome & Gut Testing – Comprehensive stool tests that assess overall gut health. These can look at beneficial bacteria levels, pathogens like parasites or worms, yeast overgrowth (e.g. Candida), digestive function, inflammatory markers, and more. Ideal for those experiencing bloating, irregular bowel movements, or long-term digestive symptoms.
Testing is entirely optional, but for some clients, it can offer valuable insights and a clearer direction forward in their treatment plan.
Pricing varies depending on the test and ranges from approximately $100–$1000.
