By engaging with Mother Nature Heals Naturopathy and its practitioners, I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to discuss the nature and purpose of my care. I request and consent to receive treatment from Rebecca Harwood and any practitioner working under her, and I understand that the results of this care are not guaranteed. I trust Rebecca and any practitioner working under her to exercise sound judgment during my treatment but recognise that not all risks and complications can be anticipated or explained. I understand that I am free to withdraw my consent and discontinue my participation in treatment at any time, without penalty.
I also acknowledge that my personal medical information and treatment notes will be kept confidential and will not be shared without my consent, except in cases of emergency or if legally required to disclose this information to another healthcare professional.
Terms of Service
Rebecca Harwood and any other practitioners working under her will always strive to treat each patient with care and respect, putting the patient’s needs first. However, healing is a process that takes time. Both the practitioner and the patient must be committed to the treatment plan for optimal results.
The healing journey may have ups and downs, and it is essential to follow through with the recommended treatment plan to achieve the best outcomes. Throughout the treatment process, we will ask a series of questions about your body systems, personal and family medical history, lifestyle, and diet. Physical examinations, such as palpation, may also be conducted with your consent.
Treatment may include various dietary, lifestyle, herbal, and supplement recommendations. Please note that the herbs and supplements prescribed by Rebecca Harwood or any practitioner working under her are specific to your care, and undesired results can occur if other products are used in place of those prescribed.
While we strive for the best possible results, some conditions may be beyond our control, and a full recovery may not always be achievable. By continuing with treatment, you agree to the terms outlined above and understand the expectations of both the practitioner and yourself during the healing process.
