Ongoing naturopathic support to review your progress, fine-tune your plan, and keep your health moving in the right direction — because sustainable change takes time, and you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
ABOUT FOLLOW-UP CONSULTATIONS
What is a follow-up consultation?
Follow-up consultations are where the real work happens. Once your initial plan is in place, these appointments give you the ongoing support, accountability, and expert guidance to actually implement it — and to adapt as your health evolves.
Your body changes, life changes, and your care should too. Follow-up consultations ensure your plan stays aligned with where you’re at right now — your symptoms, your goals, and your stage of life — particularly when it comes to supporting brain health and healthy ageing over the long term.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
What actually happens at a follow-up appointment?
Every follow-up is tailored to where you’re at, but typically covers:
- A review of your symptoms and how things have changed since your last appointment
- An assessment of how your body is responding to current recommendations
- Adjustments to your nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies as needed
- A review of any test results that have come back
- Continued education and practical guidance to keep you informed and empowered
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Who are follow-up consultations for?
Follow-up consultations are the natural next step if you:
- Have completed an initial consultation with Ellen and are ready to continue
- Are working through a treatment plan and want expert eyes on your progress
- Want accountability and guidance to stay consistent
- Need adjustments based on how your body is responding, or changes in your life
- Are managing long-term or preventative health goals — including brain health and healthy ageing
WHY IT MATTERS
Why are follow-up appointments so important?
Sustainable health improvements take time — and they rarely happen in a straight line. Regular follow-ups allow Ellen to fine-tune your care, support your consistency, and catch any challenges early before they become setbacks.
This is especially important when working on cognitive and metabolic health, where the most meaningful changes build gradually over months rather than weeks. Having a practitioner in your corner who knows your full history means you’re never starting from scratch — every appointment builds on the last.
FAQ
Questions you might be wondering about
How soon after my initial consultation should I book a follow-up?
This varies depending on your health concerns and the plan Ellen puts in place at your initial appointment. Generally, a follow-up within four to six weeks is recommended so there’s enough time to implement your plan and notice changes — but Ellen will guide you on timing at the end of your first appointment.
How many follow-up consultations will I need?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it depends on the complexity of your health concerns and how quickly your body responds. Some people feel significant improvement within a few appointments; others working on longer-term goals like cognitive health or chronic conditions benefit from more regular, ongoing support. Ellen will always be transparent about what she recommends and why.
Do I have to commit to a set number of appointments upfront?
No — you can book follow-ups as you need them. That said, consistency tends to produce the best outcomes, and Ellen may recommend a general timeframe based on your individual plan.
What if things have changed a lot since my last appointment?
That’s exactly what follow-ups are for. Whether your symptoms have improved, new concerns have come up, or life has thrown a curveball — Ellen will reassess where you’re at and adjust your plan accordingly. Nothing is set in stone.
Can I book a follow-up if it’s been a long time since my last consultation?
Absolutely. Whether it’s been a few months or a couple of years, you’re always welcome to re-engage with your care. Ellen will take the time to catch up on where things stand and get your plan back on track.
What’s the difference between a follow-up and an initial consultation?
The initial consultation is a comprehensive deep-dive into your full health history and picture — it’s longer and covers a lot of ground. Follow-up appointments are more focused: reviewing your progress, adjusting your plan, and supporting the next stage of your journey. They’re shorter but equally important.
Can I book a follow-up if I’m also doing one of the self-guided programs?
Yes — many people find that combining a self-guided program with regular follow-up consultations gives them the best of both worlds. The program gives you a strong knowledge base, while consultations with Ellen allow you to personalise your approach based on your test results and how your body is actually responding.
Your health journey doesn’t end after one appointment — and neither does Ellen’s support.
