🌿 Consultation Pathways at BalanSoul
⏳ Why Time Matters in Your Care
Effective naturopathic and functional psychiatry care requires adequate time to explore the full picture of your health. A rushed consultation risks missing important connections between your symptoms, biochemistry, lifestyle, and history. That’s why your Initial Consultation at BalanSoul is 90 minutes: long enough to thoroughly explore your story, your challenges, and your goals.
Many people turn to a holistic and integrative approach precisely because the conventional system often lacks the time and space to address complex or chronic conditions. At BalanSoul, we provide a consultation environment that is thoughtful, unhurried, and designed to uncover root causes — not just treat symptoms.
🖥️ Specialising in Telehealth
All consultations at BalanSoul are conducted online via secure Telehealth, allowing us to support clients Australia-wide and internationally. In fact, we specialise in Telehealth, and many clients find the experience more comfortable, private, and convenient than in-clinic visits.

🧾 Initial Functional Psychiatry Consultation
Once you book your Initial Consultation, you’ll receive:
- A confirmation email with your Zoom link for the session
- Secure links to complete your pre-consultation intake forms
I will review your intake form and any past test results before your appointment, so we can make the most of our time together.
The Initial Consultation is a comprehensive information-gathering session, where we explore:
- Your health and mental health history
- Current symptoms, medications, and supplements
- Diet, lifestyle, trauma history, and environmental exposures
- Your health goals and priorities
Based on our discussion, I may recommend specific testing to guide your treatment plan more effectively. This can include:
- Pathology Testing (blood tests): establishing a clear baseline for nutrient and biochemical status
- Functional Testing (optional): deeper insights into areas such as methylation, gut health, or neurotransmitter balance
- Questionnaires: for mood, energy, and cognitive patterns to help identify biotype or biochemical imbalances
If appropriate, I will also provide foundational recommendations at this stage. These may include targeted supplementation, herbal medicine, dietary strategies, and lifestyle adjustments. These first steps help you begin improving your health while awaiting test results, and they set the stage for refining your personalised plan at follow-up.
🔄 Follow-Up Consultations
Follow-up consultations are designed to review your progress and refine your treatment plan as your healing journey continues. These sessions allow us to:
- Track your response to supplements, dietary strategies, and lifestyle adjustments
- Review new or repeat pathology/functional test results
- Adjust dosages, prescriptions, or protocols as needed
- Address any new concerns that may have arisen since your last consultation
- Provide support with implementation, accountability, and motivation
Different follow-up lengths are available depending on your needs:
- 30 minutes ($150): For simple or acute concerns — such as minor updates, single-issue check-ins, or targeted test reviews.
- 45 minutes ($195): The standard follow-up, suitable for most clients. Allows time to review progress, discuss multiple symptoms, or refine treatment plans.
- 60 minutes ($250): For more complex cases, clients with multiple test results to review, or when significant adjustments are needed.
