STEPS

One.

Introductory Consultation

15 minutes
(Via Phone)

Book a FREE 10-minute introductory consult call to discuss your health concerns. 

This will allow you to ask questions around what to expect when meeting with Manuela or Geoff as your Naturopathic Practitioner.

If you feel ready to dive in simply book an initial consultation.   

Two.

Initial Consultation

1 hour

(online or in person at the clinic)

Your initial consultation is structured so Manuela or Geoff can thoroughly understand your current health in as much detail as possible. This is a vital part of the process to ensure you get the most from your initial consultation. 

You will be asked to provide us with detailed information about your current health status, cancer type, past, present, or future treatment options, medical team, and current health and lifestyle habits. We encourage you to send your most recent medical reports, blood tests, list of supplements, medications, a ‘typical daily diet, and any other relevant information you wish to share.

After your initial consultation Manuela or Geoff will formulate a detailed Comprehensive Evidence-based  Plan, in preparation for step three. Your personal plan will include: naturopathic medicine prescription and protocols as well as specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations. If agreed upon, Manuela or Geoff will liaise with your existing Medical Team, including Medical Oncologists and GPs.

Three.

Follow Up Consultation - Discussion of the Plan

1 hour

(online or in person at the clinic)

Manuela or Geoff will explain your comprehensive plan. We highly encourage you to bring along a close family member or caregiver to the appointment for additional support and to remain informed about our recommendations and support plans. 

The creation of your Comprehensive Evidence-based Plan requires an in depth analysis of your pathology tests, imaging, and other medical information. In addition, we conduct targeted research regarding suitable complementary medicines for your situation, cancer and treatment type, genetic makeup and symptomatology to ensure that the plan is tailored to your unique needs. The role of diet as medicine is significantly important during, before, and after cancer treatment. Issues such as weight loss, muscle wasting, or sudden weight gain are critical and require attention. Muscle wasting and lack of appetite are managed strategically to ensure the best possible health outcome. 

Manuela or Geoff will provide you with the best possible support and care, and the appointment is a critical step in achieving this objective. We carefully select all supplements to ensure that they do not interact with or have contraindications with cancer treatment.

Four.

Monthly Follow-Up Consultation

30 minutes

(online)

At Vitawell, we understand that cancer therapies can be a long and challenging journey, and unexpected changes may occur along the way. To ensure the best possible care, Manuela and Geoff offer ongoing short consultations that are designed to deliver optimal results. Their approach is focused on providing long-term support, which means that we must work  collaboratively with you continuously to achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life.

It is crucial to stay up to date on any treatment or symptom changes, which enables Manuela or Geoff to adjust dosing and ensure ongoing safety, suitability, and efficacy. It is highly recommended to provide ongoing blood tests and other reviews to receive the best support you need and deserve.

Five.

End of Oncologic Treatments

1 hour

(online)

Manuela and Geoff recognise that cancer treatments can leave behind long-term effects that can affect your quality of life. 

Post-cancer care includes addressing these challenges, providing ongoing support, and helping you maintain your health at its best. Manuela or Geoff will work with you to create a personalised plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. This may involve dietary modifications, herbal remedies, and other supportive measures that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. 

Manuela and Geoff are committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal health. Ongoing reviews and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle are critical components of post-cancer care.
