Leading up to the consultation you will be sent a food diary to complete and send back before you come.

During the consultation you will be asked a series of questions on your medical history, lifestyle and diet to decipher which path to healing we will take.

Caroline uses eclectic analysis methods to ascertain links between causal issues and their symptomatic expression.  Using tools such as face and tongue analysis as well as iridology (in person unless you can send through photos of your iris) will be given. These help Caroline to discover links between physiological conditions, for example, a crack in the tongue or a line directly between the eyebrows can denote absorption issues therefore prompting a treatment protocol to stimulate digestive enzymes.

Iridology readings can show causal weaknesses as well as a person’s strengths which give us markers for a successful treatment protocol.

We will look at your diet and lifestyle to see how this impacts your health as well as provide supportive herbs to bring about balance. A plan of progress will be mapped out and presented to you.  

Subsequent follow ups enable us to review our progress and make any necessary amendments and supportive treatments to your health plan.

It really is case specific, which means it depends on the layers of unravelling to be done. Having said that, one can expect to start to feel better within the first month. Generally patients will have a follow up 3-4 weeks after the first consultation followed by further follow ups every 4-8 weeks after that, depending on how they get on. It is all very case specific. Some patients will book in once every 6 months, others monthly, others just when they need, like you would see your doctor when something comes up and needs addressing.
