Personal Health Consultation
Every person comes to a consultation with their very own unique problems, questions and underlying desire for some assistance. Many years ago the process of grouping and naming similar symptoms lead to the development of 'Named Medical Conditions' e.g. IBS, PMS, Diabetes etc. and the matching of these conditions with set treatments i.e. pharmaceutical drugs, diets, exercise advice etc. While this is useful on one level it forgets that we are all individuals with unique history. So, the route we took to having a health issue is different for everybody and the route to wellness, health and healing will always be unique because of our individual eating habits, work-life balance, relationships, stress levels, mental health, exercise regimes, family history etc., which can be summed up in what I like to call our 'Personal Life Package'. For these reasons the consultation is always unique to the requirements of the client sitting with me.
The consultation starts with the question "What can I help you with?" and the rest evolves as we chat....
