Ayurvedic Doctor’s Consultation

1 hr

$150

Description: In this one-on-one assessment with our certified Ayurvedic doctor, they review your health history, current concerns, digestion, sleep, energy, stress, diet, lifestyle and emotional well-being. The doctor also performs pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis, two of the oldest diagnostic tools in Ayurveda. Pulse diagnosis reads the rhythm and quality of your pulse at three points on your wrist and shows how your doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, are currently balanced. Tongue diagnosis examines the color, coating and texture of your tongue and indicates how your digestion and internal organs are functioning. Together with an assessment of your natural constitution (Prakriti) and your current imbalance (Vikruti), these findings shape the personalised wellness plan you leave with.

How an Ayurvedic Doctor’s Consultation supports you:

Helpful for anyone wanting a clearer understanding of recurring symptoms, chronic health concerns, digestion, sleep, stress, fatigue, skin or hormonal concerns or simply a personalised approach to maintaining general wellbeing.
Recommendations may include diet, daily routine, herbs or breathing practices and suitable treatments.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a consultation before I can have treatments?

You don’t need a consultation for every massage or treatment. However, some treatments require one first, including Panchakarma and the Rejuvenation Program. A consultation is also needed if you have persistent symptoms, a diagnosed condition, take regular medication are pregnant, or are unsure which treatment suits you.

What are the physical checks, and why?

The main checks are pulse diagnosis at the wrist and tongue diagnosis, both non-invasive. These help the doctor understand your constitution, digestion and current imbalance patterns. The doctor may make other simple observations only when relevant and with your consent.

Will I have to undress or be physically examined?

You remain fully clothed throughout the consultation, and there is no intimate examination. If the doctor needs to examine a visible area of concern or perform a simple physical check, they explain this first and proceed only with your permission.

What is "finding my dosha" and will I be told mine?

Yes, the doctor tells you your dominant dosha as part of the consultation. Your dosha assessment looks at your natural constitution (Prakriti) and any imbalance currently present (Vikruti). The doctor explains the dominant patterns they find and how these connect to your health, diet, lifestyle and treatment plan.

Are the results confidential?

Yes, everything you discuss during the consultation, along with any clinical notes, is treated as private health information. The doctor only uses this information to support your care, unless you give consent or the law requires disclosure.

Can I bring my partner / do it as a couple?

Yes, you can bring a partner or support person, as long as you’re comfortable with them hearing your health information. If you both want a full assessment, you usually need separate consultation time, since each person receives an individual evaluation and plan.

Should I bring past clinical reports?

Past clinical reports aren’t essential but can help. Useful examples include recent blood tests, scans, specialist letters and medication lists. These reports show our Ayurvedic doctor your health history and help them work safely alongside your existing medical care.

Will I have to buy herbs/supplements, and are those extra?

No, you don’t have to buy herbs or supplements. The doctor recommends them only when they support your plan, and you are never obliged to purchase them. The cost of herbs or supplements is separate from the consultation fee.

Will I be told to change my whole diet and lifestyle at once?

No, the aim is practical, sustainable change that suits your life. The doctor usually prioritises the most useful steps first and builds on them gradually rather than asking for a complete overhaul overnight.

Can I claim it on private health insurance?

Some Australian health funds offer a rebate for Ayurvedic consultations or complementary therapies, and GU Health is one example. Cover varies between insurers, so check directly with yours before your appointment.
