FAQs

Where are appointments held?

My clinic room is now on the ground floor at Palace Chambers, 38 London Road, Stroud, GL5 2AJ. This is between Waitrose and the Brunel Mall, next to the Confident Dental centre. There is a long stay car par behind the building. Both face to face and remote appointments are available.

How soon can I get an appointment?

From 2026 I am reducing my clinic appointments in order to fulfil numerous course writing and teaching commitments. I am generally booking 6 months in advance. I operate a cancellation list, but I can’t guarantee anything earlier. Cancellations can be at short notice, and it will therefore depend upon the flexibility of your individual commitments. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the cancellation list.

What to expect at a consultation

Consultations are a blend of all of the disciplines that I have trained in, apart from NAET appointments where only NAET is used in accordance with NAET Europe guidelines.

All other consultations will be a combination of detailed naturopathic/nutritional case taking covering two generations, full case interpretation, iridology, pulse and tongue diagnosis and muscle resistance testing. I draw on many disciplines when interpreting a case history and preparing programmes including nutritional medicine, Ayurveda, the Chinese five elements, Tibetan medicine, Unani medicine, traditional naturopathic medicine, iridology, homotoxicology, herbalism, Ghk and hydrotherapy. I will always consider stress levels and discuss the emotional components of your symptoms with you as well.

Programmes are tailor made and are a combination of dietary changes, nutritional supplements, homoeopathy, herbs, flower essences, hydrotherapy, affirmations and Ayurvedic techniques such as massage, yoga or breathing exercises. If there is one particular discipline that you are drawn to please tell me at the beginning of the consultation, and I will ensure that it is included.

Initial consultation

This lasts for 2-2 ½  hours and includes a full naturopathic case taking, iridology and muscle resistance testing for imbalances and food sensitivities. You will be sent a questionnaire by the clinic before your consultation, together with a food diary to record your daily dietary intake. You will leave the consultation with your nutritional programme and lots of information to support you in a return to health.

Subsequent consultations

These last for 1-1 ½ hours and include a discussion about the progress you have made with your health issues, your diet and lifestyle changes and muscle resistance testing to identify imbalances and food sensitivities. Emotional release techniques using kinesiology may also be used in these sessions if they are appropriate. I occasionally suggest lab testing if I require more clarity regarding certain symptoms.

How much does it cost?

I charge £90 an hour; therefore a first consultation is £180 and subsequent consultations are £90. If a consultation is less than an hour then I charge accordingly. Remote consultations cost the same as face to face consultations as there is always email feedback and programmes to prepare after the consultation.

Email support: this is available for existing clients. Please note that if I haven’t seen you for at least 6-9 months that I won’t be able to provide advice based on the last time I saw you. Due to the amount of time involved in answering emails and researching information for clients I now charge for email support.

Concessions: I no longer offer concessions. My prices in comparison to other practitioners with less training and experience are significantly lower already.

Packages: I don’t offer packages. I work as I have worked for the last 30+ years which is payment for the consultation only. Supplements and homeopathics, if required, are in addition to the cost of the consultation. Lab tests, if needed, are also additional.

Want to see someone earlier?

I have two colleagues now working at the Naturopathy clinic. Both work in a naturopathic way and are trained in nutrition:

For appointments with Justine or Christina you can either email admin@thenaturopathicclinic.co.uk or contact them direct via their website links above.

All practitioners work in different ways and have different approaches to similar symptoms. I have three naturopathic colleagues, all of them also nutritional therapists and trained in homotoxicology, who have all been in practice for 30+ years who I have no hesitation in recommending:

  • Justine Evans (Stroud)
  • Sonja Macura (Huddersfield)
Monique Stone (London)
