Our consultation process.
Our Naturopaths at Botanic Ave. utilise an evidence-based and functional testing approach.
01.
Initial naturopath consult
60mins | $230
Your initial consultation is about exploring current health goals, presenting symptoms, gut health, hormone health, past medical history, medications & nutritional supplements, diet & lifestyle factors to understand your unique health picture. At the end of this consultation, your practitioner will summarise a treatment plan & discuss further pathology testing unique to you.
02.
Follow up naturopath consult
60mins | $230
Your follow up consultation will be when we expect to have any necessary further pathology test results, generally 3-5 weeks after your initial consultation. During your follow up consultation, we deliver your personalised treatment plan, based on your test results, scientific evidence, symptoms & health goals. Your treatment plan will outline your health goals, dietary advice & lifestyle recommendations, as well as herbal medicine &/or nutritional supplementation prescription.
03.
Review naturopath consult
45mins | $172
30mins | $115
Review consultations are a crucial part of treatment as protocols are comprehensive and require review for any required adjustments. Review consultations are usually booked in every 2-8 weeks, allowing for modifications according to your personal progress, assessing pathology tests, and filling prescriptions.
Functional Pathology Testing
Together with a comprehensive consultation, Botanic Ave.’s commitment to clients in achieving optimal health often includes functional pathology testing to identify & treat underlying causes. Testing is specific to each person, and this gives us the relevant information we need on dysfunction, imbalances, deficiencies, overgrowths in the body on a deeper level.
Functional testing options that may be recommended in your consult:
Stool test (gut microbiome mapping)
Vaginal swab (vaginal microbiome mapping)
Urine test (complex UTI screening, thyroid cofactors)
Blood test (for general health like iron, vitamin D, B12, thyroid function etc.)
Saliva test (female hormones, male hormones, stress hormones)
Pricing varies dependent on the type of test, anywhere between $50-$500
