How do Home Consultations work?

Rene will travel to your home whereby she will assess your little one(s) and their environment. She will then provide advice and techniques to assist you with consistent sleeping, feeding, parenting and any other issues you’d like to discuss.

 

What are the advantages of a Home Consultation?

  • You receive advice in familiar and comfortable surroundings.
  • The appointment is private and at a predetermined time (no waiting in line at a pharmacy or child health clinic).
  • You can SHOW Rene what it is that concerns you.
  • You don’t have to pack-up the kids and drive anywhere.
  • You get to meet the person offering the advice.

The invoice is payable at the time of the consultation and can be made by: cash, cheque, direct debit or credit card (Master Card or Visa).

We do NOT accept Amex or Dinners.

How long does a Home Consultation take?

Most home consultations last between 2 - 3 hours. This varies depending on your particular circumstances.

 

When are Home Consultations offered?

Monday through to Saturday.

Appointments located on the Gold or Sunshine Coast are available in the morning or late afternoon.

 

What is the most appropriate appointment time?

For babies 6 months old and younger, we strongly recommend a daytime appointment. By afternoon/evening babies of this age are tired and cranky. This only complicates existing issues.  It is best for everyone if you see Rene in the morning or at the latest, lunch time.

Over 6 months old, day or night is fine.
