The Consultation

Whether you have physical or mental health issues or need support through a transitional phase of life, a consultation with Hawthorn Health & Well-Being can help you. Through this holistic approach, Maddy Taylor, a fully qualified medical herbalist, registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, will work with you to heal or manage your symptoms and optimise your life. 

A consultation with Hawthorn Health & Well-Being includes: 

• An initial consultation considering your current health concern, past medical history, medications, allergies, diet and much more
• Post-consultation research as required for your condition and treatment plan
• A written treatment plan provided to you in PDF form including herbal medicine details and basic nutrition, lifestyle advice
• Bespoke Herbal Medicine in the form of tincture, herbal tea, powders, capsules or combination

This includes approximately 5 hours worth of work to ensure that your health situation is fully researched and considered. If additional work is required above this, this will be charged on a pro rata rate – see fees below. For example, analysis of past blood tests or providing a detailed dietary plan.

Following your initial consultation, follow up consultations which last up to 45 minutes are required once every 4 weeks for 3 months to monitor your progress and make any amendments to your medicine as necessary. Following this, consultation frequency may be reduced if appropriate.

Fees

I offer a sliding scale to ensure that the consultations are available to you if you are on a lower income. This is system is reliant on your honesty – I will not ask for proof from you. Please help me to continue to provide this offering by choosing the correct fee for your situation. Whilst the cost may seem a lot, please be aware that my work on your health does not stop at the consultation. After seeing you, I will write up accurate notes as well as carry out research and formulate your treatment plan as detailed above.

Home visits

If you are unable to travel to Tod College or would simply feel happier in your own home, I am happy to provide a home visit across the Calderdale area. This incurs a fee of 45p/mile to cover mileage. If you live outside the Calderdale area and would like a home visit, please contact me to discuss further.

Zoom

I would prefer to see you in-person for your initial consultation. However, I can offer Zoom consultations if this is not possible. I will send you the Zoom details after you book in.
