BUSINESS NAME

I own the registered business name Bec to Nature. You may not use this name or my logo for any purpose without my written express permission.

​

SUITABILITY

Our services are for individuals who are interested in improving their health and are motivated to make changes to their lifestyle and diet. We work with patients to make small, incremental and sustainable changes to their diet and lifestyle, and we can move as slowly as the client likes. But if you are not ready for change, or have significant emotional challenges which are affecting your ability to enact change, I am happy to help you identify and accept this is where you are at and recommend another practitioner who can help you work through this.
 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

I will always strive to provide you with the best naturopathic care possible. However, if you do not provide me with accurate information about your health, I may not be able to offer you the most appropriate treatment for your condition and therefore you may not see the results you desire. You must provide me with full and accurate information about your diagnosed medical conditions, medications or supplements, known allergies and intolerances, so I can ensure safety of treatment and check for pharmacological interactions with any herbs or nutrients I prescribe.

​

​CANCELLATION AND APPOINTMENT CHANGES

Please give at least 24 hours to change or cancel your appointment time so others may use the time allocated to you and and avoid the cancellation fee. If cancelled less than 24 hours, then a cancellation fee of the normal consult fee will be applied. Rescheduling appointments requires a minimum of 24 hours notice. Rescheduling appointments within 24 hours of the consultation will be based on our discretion, and may incur 50% of the consultation fee. No shows will result in a booking forfeit of 100% of the fee.

​

INTAKE FORMS

An intake form will be emailed to the client at the time of booking. Bec kindly requests the patient complete and return the form 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time. If the intake form is not received prior to the scheduled appointment, it will need to be completed during your appointment. This will result in loss of consultation time. Regular initial consultation procedures will continue, although additional time will not be offered to compensate for lost time. The full consult fee will still be charged, and further consultations may be required to gather any information missed. Access to the initial consultation intake form can be found on a link in your booking confirmation email.

Allergic reaction

It is your responsibility to notify Bec of any allergies, intolerances or reactions you have experienced previously prior to the initial consultation.
