What To Expect
What To Expect
In short, a holistic, natural and caring approach to your overall health.
As a family friendly practice and local business, From The Earth Healthcare caters to YOUR personal requirements. No two people are the same and even the same person changes over time (both physically and mentally). This is why every appointment is treated as unique, designed to specifically address what’s happening in your body both long and short term. Dr Trudie’s mission is to help you move through whatever is your highest priority whether that be a physical or neurological.
While most patients opt for both Acupuncture therapy and Herbal Medicine as part of their treatment plan, you have the choice between the two separate modalities. Your initial consultation with Dr Trudie can guide you as to what’s most appropriate for your situation.
Clothing
For most acupuncture treatments, depending on the treatment location/s, requires very minimal clothing to be removed. This applies to both in clinic and mobile appointments, making some basic lower leg and arm treatments even appropriate for in-office bookings during your lunch break. Your personal comfort is very important, if you are not comfortable with removing any articles of clothing, your treatment will be adjusted to allow you not to do so.
Medical History
To understand your current health, Dr Trudie will ask you to complete a survey capturing any prior injuries, illnesses, treatments, surgeries as well as any medications and supplements. Your full disclosure is appreciated and helps ensure the correct prescription of either acupuncture, herbal medicine formulas or both. Some questions may seem a bit unusual but they are needed to formulate the best treatment for you. Dr Trudie encourages you to ask any questions you may have.
Mobile Appointments
Depending on your consultation, Dr Trudie attends your home (or preferred location) supplying all required equipment. If you have booked for acupuncture, ideally, you’ll supply a clear and quiet space for a massage table to be set-up (if required).
