THE GATEKEEPER
LIFESTYLE PROGRAMMES
To oversee every step of your journey from initial assessment to optimal health, the Gatekeeper is an experienced naturopathic practitioner and will expertly guide you through the complementary medicine therapies and wellness programmes we have to offer.
Our Lifestyle Programmes help to optimise your wellbeing and vitality. They address everyday health and lifestyle issues such as stress, sleep problems, lingering fatigue, detox and fertility. Following a consultation with your Gatekeeper a suitable programme will be tailored to your individual needs, ensuring optimal results are achieved. To complement your programme and enhance its results, you will receive full access to the spa and its facilities, including 10% off food and beverages in the Spa Lounge for the length of your programme.
During an in-depth consultation, your Gatekeeper will take a full medical, nutritional, emotional and physical case history along with an Iris Diagnosis in order to best assess your current health status. Your lifestyle will also be reviewed in order to decide upon the ideal treatments or programmes to help you regain optimal wellness. Your Gatekeeper may wish to perform certain necessary functional medicine tests* at this stage. These are an important part of identifying the true cause of any health issue and allow us to treat the cause, rather than just the symptom.
