Initial consultations are 1 hour and standard consultations 30 minutes.  Iridology, nail and tongue analysis, physical examination, body composition, zinc tally and urinary indican testing will be included as appropriate.

Jenny believes that an individual’s peak health and their ability to respond appropriately to the challenges of life can be achieved by understanding their own physical, emotional and spiritual needs and fulfilling these with an individualised holistic approach.  Naturopathy can be a valuable component of such an approach, optimising a person’s vitality and enabling the best health possible to be achieved and maintained.
