Terms of Engagement & Consent

Good nutrition supports the body’s natural defences and resistance. However, no claim can be made about the efficacy of any naturopathic nutritional advice.

Naturopathic Nutritional advice will be tailored to support medically diagnosed conditions and/or health concerns agreed and identified by the two parties. Naturopathic Nutritional practitioners are not permitted to diagnose or claim to treat medical conditions, nor is Naturopathic Nutritional therapy a substitute for professional medical advice and treatment.

Please carefully read and agree with our Terms of Engagement & Consent before making a booking.

• You are responsible for contacting your GP or specialist about any health concerns you may have.

• Please advise your GP of the Naturopathic Nutrition protocol you will be following. Please also advise any other complementary medicine practitioners you are consulting.

• I understand that the Practitioner is a nutritional educator and does not dispense medical advice nor prescribe treatment. While nutritional support can be an important complement to my medical care, I understand that a nutritional therapy program is not a substitute for the diagnosis, treatment, or care of a disease, illness, or injury by a medical provider.

• It is important that you tell your practitioner about any medical diagnosis you have received any prescription medication, herbal medicine or food supplements or over the counter medication you are taking as it may affect the Naturopathic Nutritional programme.

• If you are unclear about any part of your plan then you should contact your practitioner immediately for clarification.

• Your Naturopathic Nutritional programme and supplement plan will have a time frame and you should not continue with recommendations outside of this unless agreed by your naturopathic nutritional practitioner. This is to avoid any adverse reactions.

• I accept that the advice under this program is not a guarantee for health improvements or for reaching my health goals and that I should not use food products or supplements as a substitute for medical treatment or a varied diet. I agree that I will inform the Practitioner if there is any reason why I should not continue with the program; for example, an illness or an injury that requires medical advice. If, at any time, I feel undue pain or excessive discomfort, I will stop the program undertakings immediately and inform the Practitioner of my symptoms.

• I understand that the Practitioner will keep all documents related to me (including, but not limited to, assessments, food diaries, forms, worksheets, audio, transcripts, video, or images- where necessary) and any notes that relate to me, as a record of our work together. Medical records, personal information, and health history divulged to the Practitioner, in or out of session, will be kept strictly confidential unless I consent to share this information by way of a signed release

• I accept that it is my responsibility and decision to use or disregard nutritional, exercise, and lifestyle guidelines. I understand that this consent form is also a release of the practitioner’s liability.

• I understand that I am able to withdraw from this program at any time, and that the services may also be terminated at the discretion of the Practitioner with sufficient notice.

• I understand the intellectual property rights and privacy of all of the materials and information provided to me during this program. I agree to use all session handouts for my own personal (non-commercial) purposes only and that I will not share, copy, or distribute them to third parties.
