Frequently Asked Questions

Your first consultation is comprehensive. Prue will review your medical history, current symptoms, medications, diet and lifestyle. She will ask targeted questions to identify likely drivers of your symptoms and may recommend testing. You will leave with a clear plan that may include testing, personalised nutrition, herbal support and lifestyle strategies.

Testing is recommended when we need objective data to guide treatment, but it is not always required. Prue will discuss whether particular tests are likely to add value for your case and explain the costs, timeline and how results will be used.

Many clients notice initial improvements within two to six weeks. Full recovery depends on your starting point, the complexity of underlying issues, and adherence to the plan. For chronic or complex conditions, a staged program often delivers the best long-term results.

Naturopathy can support fatigue, hormone imbalance, thyroid conditions, gut problems, stress and recovery, immune issues and sports recovery. Prue creates personalised plans that focus on root causes rather than quick fixes.

Preparation depends on the test. Some require fasting, stool collection, or timing samples to your cycle. Prue provides clear instructions and support for each test to make the process simple and accurate.

Yes. Prue works with children and offers kid-friendly formulations that are easy to take. Treatment is age-appropriate and focused on safety and compliance, making it practical for family life.

Turnaround times vary by lab and test. Most results are available within one to three weeks. Prue will outline expected timelines when she recommends tests and will review results with you in a follow-up appointment.

Absolutely. Prue collaborates with GPs, specialists and allied health providers when needed. With your consent, she can share test requests, reports and treatment recommendations to ensure coordinated care.
