Practitioner Scope

Madison Dohnt is a University-qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist, Scientist and Educator, specialising in women’s health and hormones. The Practitioner provides women with holistic health services and education, with the goal to help them reach their highest potential through nutrition, exercise, gut health, mental health, and other pillars of natural health; and allowing them to become knowledgeable and intentional about their diet and lifestyle choices. Consultation topics and content will vary depending on Client's personal needs, goals, desired outcomes, priorities and other factors.

The Practitioner offers Services in the form of Health, Nutrition and Mindset Coaching as well as Naturopathic Consultations and Supplement Prescriptions (herein collectively referred to as “Services”). Health Coaching is tailored personal development geared towards helping Client learn about a holistically healthy lifestyle. Nutrition Coaching is assisting Client to learn nutrition fundamentals and utilise these principles to make healthier eating choices. Mindset Coaching is assisting Client to work through limiting beliefs and overcome mindset obstacles to build confidence and reduce stress, in an effort to benefit Client’s goals.

The Practitioner is not a doctor, nurse, dietician, physical therapist, occupational therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, personal trainer, counselor, business operations manager, financial analyst, or other agent. The Practitioner may offer her opinion regarding health and/or personal decisions, but it is the responsibility of Client to make the final decision and choose the best option for his/herself. Client also acknowledges that health services cannot come with any guarantees of a perfect outcome. Client hereby acknowledges that Client is solely responsible for the amount and type of progress that Client achieves by implementing techniques and advice provided by Practitioner and remaining compliant with their treatment plan and prescription.
