• What do I bring to my first appointment and how long will it take?
  Your first consultation will take ninety minutes and will cost $160. The more information you bring about yourself, the easier it is to help you with your health goals.
  
  Please bring along the following: Checklist for your first consultation
   
  

  • Your completed Client Questionnaire (this should take you about 10 minutes to complete – download PDF or complete online)
  • Bottles or boxes of any medications or supplements you are currently taking or using regularly
  • Copies of any medical test results that you may have had during the past 12 months (eg blood tests, ultrasound reports, bone density reports, colonoscopies, etc)
• How can I pay?
  Payment can be made by Cash; Cheque; EFTPOS; Visa or Mastercard. We also offer PayPal as an option for online purchases.
• Can I claim for my consultations with my private health fund?
  Yes. Tabitha is a provider with almost all Private Health Funds, which means that you can claim some of the consultation fee back, as long as you have the appropriate cover.
  Your rebate depends on the details of your cover with your specific fund. Unfortunately at this stage, no Australian Health funds offer reimbursement for your investment in any supplements or herbs that may be prescribed to you.
• What hours are you open?
  Clinic hours are:
  Wednesday: 8.00am to 2.00pm
  Thursday to Saturday: 8.00am to 4.00pm
  
  We will try to accommodate your needs if these hours aren’t suitable for you – please call to discuss.
• How many appointments will I need?
  This is different for every patient, and is far easier to answer after your initial appointment. Please ask us then.
  
  Generally, however, it is very valuable to have a follow-up appointment within 4 weeks of your initial appointment, so that your progress can be monitored and your treatment plan modified as you move closer towards your health goals.
• Can I see a Naturopath if I am also seeing a Doctor?
  Yes – absolutely.
  
  Naturopathy can play a very useful role in supporting or increasing the benefits of orthodox medical treatment. The treatments Tabitha may prescribe integrate Naturopathic Healing Principles with the latest scientific research, so you can feel confident discussing your management with your GP.
  
  Tabitha has several GP's and other specialist practitioners that refer to her, and she is happy to work as part of a health-care team to further your health.
• Is Tabitha a member of an association?
  Yes. Tabitha is an accredited member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS member number 19375) and holds Professional Indemnity Insurance.

“I have happily recommended Tabitha to many of my friends, all of whom have wondered at her knowledge, compassion and motivation, and then marveled in turn at the positive changes she has also brought to their lives.”

“Being a healer and counsellor I am very aware of the importance of empathetic listening and the importance of a holistic approach to client care. I truly feel that Tabitha embodies great qualities as a healer and a naturopath. She is very compassionate at the same time quite obviously a leader in her chosen field of naturopathic medicine. She has helped me enormously and I recommend her highly.”

“Thank you - I feel you have given me the tools to take control of my own health… I cannot possibly put into words what a difference this makes to my quality of life.”

“I was looking for a naturopath who was warm, caring, engaging, professional, qualified and more importantly someone I felt extremely comfortable with. From our initial emails and first consultation all these traits and more were more than satisfied.”
