Our online & phone consulting service
Clients from all around Australia and New Zealand seek Sar Rooney’s advice for their health and wellbeing via phone and online appointments. Sar initially assesses your health by asking you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire that has been developed to help identify the underlying causes of your health disorders. If you have had a medical diagnosis or you have some test results, you can include this information in your health questionnaire (this is optional but recommended). This form will be emailed to you and allows you to benefit from professional health care from the comfort of your own home. After your initial health assessment, you can consult Sar by phone or email about your ongoing health and wellness. Sar can also refer you for any pathology tests that she thinks are appropriate and your results (and a recommended treatment plan) can then be discussed over the phone.
Please read the following information to help you decide if an online or phone consultation would suit you.
PLEASE NOTE: Online and phone consultations are now only available to Australian and New Zealand residents. Due to time limitations, we are no longer accepting any new clients from outside of Australia and NZ. However, Sar will continue to provide health care to our existing overseas clients.
How Will An Online Health Assessment Help Me?
Our personalized health assessments may help if you are seeking naturopathic solutions to your health problems or if you want to try to prevent future diseases or conditions from developing. Once a thorough case history is taken (via the completion of our health assessment questionnaire), recommendations will be made to you based on the information provided. Alternatively, relevant pathology tests may be organized if Sar feels these are required before she provides treatment recommendations for you. If you already have test results from your doctor, these can also be included in your assessment.
Our online and phone consulting service allows you to receive professional health care advice as well as access to superior quality, ‘practitioner-only’ naturopathic formulas, herbal supplements, traditional Chinese medicines, nutrient supplements and other treatments that are only available through qualified practitioners*.
* Medicines and supplements are available at an extra cost.
How Does an Online Assessment Work?
This method of health care is generally a very effective way of treating your health problems – utilizing thorough case taking and pathology tests (when required) with professional health advice along with scientifically-proven, cutting-edge, naturopathic formulas. Online assessments allow clients to complete a comprehensive questionnaire in their own time and email it back to us. Once completed, Sar, our Naturopathic Practitioner, will personally assess your case and either refer you for relevant testing or develop an appropriate treatment plan that will be designed to try and reverse your symptoms and health problems. This is usually far better than following generic information that you read on the internet or in books. We believe that an individual approach is essential to address your unique biological and metabolic requirements when treating your health problems and helping you prevent future disease.
Depending on bookings*, the assessment is usually carried out within 2 weeks after receiving your completed questionnaire, and sometimes sooner. The treatments that are recommended to you will then be easily accessible to you anywhere in Australia or NZ (at an extra charge). The treatments that Sar prescribes are only available through qualified naturopathic practitioners and cannot be compared with products available ‘off the shelf’ or via the internet which often do not have any therapeutic effect.
* Sar is often booked out well in advance so please enquire about her availability when making an appointment.
How Do I Book My Online Assessment?

* Sar is often booked out well in advance so please enquire about her availability when making an appointment.
Once I become a client of Sar’s, can I email her with questions about my symptoms or health problems?
Yes, certainly – but we will need to schedule time in Sar’s appointments for her to answer your questions via email or phone (Consultation fees apply). Please be aware though that Sar has a large number of clients that she helps each week so we would need to schedule time in her bookings for her to help you. It is not possible for Sar to provide health advice outside of pre-scheduled consultations. To provide professional health advice, it is a legal requirement that a full case history is taken, prior to providing any treatment advice. This helps ensure that your health is being taken into consideration in a thorough, comprehensive manner and that appropriate advice is given. If you wish to make an appointment for a consultation with Sar, please email [email protected] to book your consultation.
Phone Consultations
Phone consultations are available to support our current clients after an initial online health assessment has been completed. Please email [email protected] to book your consultation.
