Welcome to The Art of Harmony Clinic,

Based on the beautiful Kapiti Coast, NZ.

 

This clinic utilises the principles and practices of Naturopathic medicine, Herbalism and other supportive therapies to supportthe body’s own ability to heal and to improve the quality of health through natural means.

 

Naturopathy and Naturopathic Nutrition assess the whole person, assessing mental, emotional and physical health and may use herbal medicine, supplements and other tools to support health improvement.

 

During your visit, a thorough health history will be taken and if needed examination such as hip to waist measurements (No clothes need to be removed), Blood pressure monitored, weight measured could be taken, and specific lab diagnostic tests will be required by other health care practitioners you have/are seeing or through private testing laboratories. 

 

By agreeing to this statement of acknowledgment, you understand that:

1. I am a Naturopath/Naturopathic nutritionist and NOT a conventional medical doctor (GP). Any treatment you receive is not mutually exclusive from any treatment or advice you may now be receiving or may received in the future from any other licensed health care practitioner.

2. The methods I may use have a proven clinical foundation, yet may not be recognised or accepted by standard (allopathic) medicine.

3. The treatment and/or referral to other health care practitioners is based on the assessment of your health, revealed through personal history, examination, laboratory testing, and any other appropriate method of evaluation, therefor it is essential to disclose all information relating to the health concern.

4. I reserve the right to determine which cases fall outside my scope of practice, in which event the appropriate referral will be recommended.

5. You are not an agent of any private or government agency attempting to gather information without so stating your intentions.

6. Changes in dietary habits are not an absolute prerequisite for treatment and you understand that failure to follow sound nutritional, exercise and lifestyle programs could undermine any expected results.

7. You are accepting or rejecting this care of your own free will.

8. The ultimate responsibility for your health care is your own and that I am here to support you in this. I reserve the right to discontinue my services where it is apparent that your expectations and what I can provide are not in agreement.

9. Understanding that all fees, for services and supplements are payable at the time of appointment by the client or the guardian. Notice of 24 hours is required for appointment cancellations, however we are aware emergencies occur. Reoccurring failure to appear, or reoccurring cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will incur  an administration fee of 50% of the booked appointment fee, as we have a busy clinic with people waiting to attend appointments.

10. I also recognise that even the gentlest therapies, supplements and medications potentially have their complications in certain physiological conditions, in very young children, in those on multiple medications, in pregnancy, while breastfeeding and hence the information provided is complete and inclusive of all health concerns including risk of pregnancy; all medications, including over the counter drugs and supplements. The slight health risk of some Naturopathic treatments include, but not limited to; aggravation of pre-existing symptoms, allergic reaction to supplements or herbs.
