My Responsibility

Ashleigh Kayser holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) obtained from Torrens University Australia. 

Referrals

As a naturopath, I am dedicated to enhancing your whole health and wellbeing. However, there are times when the services you need for healing are outside of my scope of practice. In these cases, I will refer you to a suitable practitioner, such as a GP, counsellor, psychologist, massage therapist, physiotherapist or osteopath.

Suitability

My naturopathic services are for people who are interested in improving their health and are motivated to make changes to their lifestyle and diet. I work with clients 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

Nourish Naturopathy 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.

Consumer Guarantees

Sickness on day of consultation

If I am unwell and am unable to conduct your consultation, I will aim to give you 24 hours’ notice, but when this is not possible, I ask for your understanding in me letting you know on the morning of the consultation. I will call or text you as appropriate.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give 24 hours’ notice via email or telephone call. If you find yourself unexpectedly unwell on the day of your consult, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule. 

Cancellation Policy

Nourish Naturopathy has a strict cancellation policy. Cancellation of consultation, workshop or event requires 24 hours notice. Cancellations or failure to attend which are received within 24 hours of the scheduled consultation or event, will incur 100% of the total fee. If unforeseen circumstances arise, and the practitioner is unable to proceed with the appointment, a full refund or rescheduling will be offered.
This policy is in place to ensure consistency in booking processes. As we strongly value your time, we appreciate a mutual value for our time and the time of other clients.  If you would like to discuss or dispute a cancellation, please contact us.  

Appointment Changes

Re-scheduling appointments requires a minimum of 24 hours notice to avoid cancellation fee. 

Intake Forms

An intake form will need to be completed at the time of booking. Nourish Naturopathy kindly requests the client complete the form not later than 24 hours before the scheduled consultation. 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 consultation fee will still be charged, and further consultations may be required to gather any information missed. 

Allergic Reaction

It is your responsibility to notify me of any allergies, intolerances or reactions you have experienced previously prior to the initial consultation. If you experience an unexpected allergic reaction to a product I have prescribed, you must notify me as soon as possible. If you are experiencing life threatening symptoms (e.g. anaphylaxis) you must call 000 immediately.
