Introductory Consultation
15 MINUTES VIA PHONE
Book a FREE 10-minute introductory consult call to discuss your health concerns. This will allow you to ask questions leading to your first appointment. If you feel ready to dive in, simply book an initial consultation.
Initial Consultation
1 HOUR (ONLINE OR IN PERSON AT THE CLINIC)
At the initial consultation, the discussion will focus on your current health status, cancer type; past, present, or future treatment options, medical team, and current health and lifestyle habits. At the end of your consultation Manuela will formulate a comprehensive evidence- based management plan. This is your personalised action plan that will accompany you for the duration of your treatment or post-treatment.
Follow up - Discussion of Plan
2 HOURS (ONLINE OR IN PERSON AT THE CLINIC)
Manuela will explain your comprehensive plan. We highly encourage you to bring along a close family member or caregiver to the appointment for additional support. The comprehensive evidence-based management plan is highly personalised (no two plans are the same). It is holistic, practical, grounded in evidence, and easy to follow. It includes a thorough check for contraindications and interactions with the current medical treatments.
Monthly Follow-Up Consultation
30 MINUTES (ON-LINE)
Manuela understands that cancer therapies can be a long and challenging journey, and unexpected changes may occur along the way. To ensure the best possible care, Manuela offers ongoing short consultations that are designed to deliver ongoing support and are reflective of any treatment or symptom changes.
End of Cancer Treatments
1 HOUR IN PERSON
Manuela recognises that cancer treatments leave behind long-term effects that can affect your quality of life. Post-cancer care includes addressing these challenges, providing ongoing support, and helping you maintain your health at its best. Manuela is committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal health.
