1.8 You understand that you must NOT stop any doctor/specialist prescribed medications or specific doctor/specialist advice when undertaking one of our programs.

1.9 When purchasing one of our programs you have the opportunity to join the Gut Health Circle (private Facebook group) - for a specified period of time. The Gut Health Circle is a community group to connect with other members doing one of our programs or Alumni and Subscription members. It is also a place to read educational posts about ‘gut health’. Any questions, comments or messages to Practitioner/Coaches, received through the Gut Health Circle, email, text, messenger etc. are not looked at, nor replied to, by any of the Practitioner/Coaches and are deleted by our ‘Gut Health Support Team’. If you require one-on-one personal coaching, advice or support, then please book a paid private session with one of your Practitioner/Coaches. All members have access to discounted consults (% discount varies amongst memberships) If you have an administrative question, please email the Customer Support team at hello@nataliewoodman.com.

1.10 The following conditions, time parameters and fees apply to ALL consultations with Practitioner/Coaches (Natalie Woodman and Michael Bazeley).

1.10.1 Member (discounted) consults are ONLY for members who are doing, or have done, the Gut Rebalancing Protocol or one of the Reboot programs. The fee already has the 50% rebate applied.

1.10.2 Member (discounted) consults are ONLY for who are doing, or have done, the Gut Rebalancing Protocol or one of the Reboot programs or their own child who is under 18-years old. The child must be present during the consultation.

1.10.3 A 'member private mini-consult’ is only for a couple of simple questions relating to an ACUTE condition NOT a chronic condition. Acute conditions generally develop suddenly and last a short time i.e. a few days or weeks. Chronic conditions develop slowly and may worsen over an extended period of time—months to years. For chronic conditions, we provide a link for a ‘Member Initial Assessment Consult’. Should you book a mini-consult for a non-acute condition, or if we deem that your health needs cannot be addressed in a mini-consult, your mini-consult will be used for general discussion. You will be asked to book a separate Member Initial Assessment Consult so your health can be comprehensively reviewed so safe and effective treatment strategies can be provided. Fees paid are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

We appreciate your time is valuable and ask that you appreciate our Practitioners’ time is valuable too. We start a comprehensive review of your documentation and treatment planning 48-hrs prior to your consult so that we can comprehensively review your information to create a safe and effective treatment plan. It also allows for research time and, if needed, the time required to request further information. We take the job of looking after you, and providing safe and effective personalised treatment strategies, VERY seriously. Should you decide not to take up the newly rescheduled date/time you may reschedule. If you decide to cancel, then clause 1.10.4 applies.
