Consultancy & Testing
After 16 years in the business, there’s one thing we’re sure of: that different people, need different things at different times. As such, we’ve evolved to offer a wide range of services that includes one-to-one consultancy and group programs (private, worksite or community wide.)
One to One consultancy with Catherine Burns takes place in the private clinic at the Natural office. Catherine specializes in weight management, family nutrition, sports nutrition and preventive healthcare. She has a great deal of experience working with those who have anxiety/panic disorder, hormone imbalance and digestive problems, as well as working with athletes to improve their endurance and recovery.
How to get started (book online and complete your forms!)
Simply contact us to set up your initial visit. We’ll send you a link to online booking so you can schedule an appointment that works for you! Please make sure you book a 45-minute appointment for your initial visit, or a 30-minute appointment for any follow-up visits. If it’s been over a year since you last came in, then you should book an initial visit.
Everyone coming in for their first appointment needs to complete the Adaptive Health Questionnaire and Insurance Information (click on the hyperlinks!) If you are coming in for a follow-up and your insurance info has changed, please fill out a new Insurance Information form. Please make sure you complete everything thoroughly, including the three-day food diary. You can then email these forms to Catherine ahead of time or bring them with you on the day.
