I have (insert symptom/condition) here, can you help me?
I’ve worked with many conditions that coexist with PCOS. However, I will be the first to tell you if I don’t think I have the knowledge to help you and where I can, I will instead refer you onto another specialist.  This is exactly why I offer a discovery call, so I can make sure that I have the knowledge and skills to help you.
This is charged at $100. If, in the discovery call I find that I cannot help you, this is refunded to you, or if I can help you, it’s taken off your total payment.

I live in (insert your country/ region here), can you help me.
Yes! I work with you via Zoom, so you can be based anywhere in the world. You book your appointments using my online portal, so you can fine a time that suits you and change it easily if something comes up. In most countries I can also help you order any testing that we need too – if I can’t I’ll let you know.
Will I need any further blood testing/lab work?
Possibly – but also in many cases, we can work without it. I can tell a lot from your symptoms, family history and medical history, so in most cases we work without them. Iâll let you be my guide on what you want, and most importantly what you can afford.
How will I know if you can help me?
I have a wealth of experience in PCOS and I hope that I can help most people. However, I’m not in the business of taking money from people I don’t think I can help. If at your first consult, I determine that there is something about your case I can’t help with, or there is a better person for you, I will tell you that and we’ll refund you the remainder of the consultations.
Will these consults be tailored to my personal symptoms?
Yes! This is the benefit of working 1:1, at the start we’ll decide on the main symptoms that you want help with and all our consults will be around finding you an outcome for those.
I'm currently on the Pill. Can you still help me?
Yes! You can be on any medication you want/need. I do not live by an ‘all’ natural approach. I actually often advise you to make sure that you have made the changes for at least a few months and have seen improvements in your overall symptoms before you discuss with your doctors the possibility of removing the Pill. Removing the Pill immediately might mean that you get a backlash of symptoms (acne, hair growth, hair loss etc), which you likely don’t want!Â
I am already through menopause/perimenopause, can you assist me?
Absolutely! Oftentimes symptoms can get worse after menopause. While your body might not be producing oestrogen and progesterone any more, your ovaries and other organs (like fat tissue) still produce testosterone. Without progesterone opposing the testosterone, symptoms can get even worse. Thus it’s advisable that you start understanding your body better now so you can implement the lifestyle changes that can have the biggest impact for you.
What if I have questions between appointments?
While Clare would absolutely love to be able to answer every question that you have, she physically canât manage this.
If you have a quick and easy question, i.e. can be answered in 2 lines or less, one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible between 9 AM to 5 PM NZT. If it’s a complex question, then we can move your next appointment forward, or change this to a 30-minute consultation.
Is testing included in the price?
No, this is an additional cost but isnât necessary for all. If I think it will help Iâll recommend that we order some further testing to get more clarity on whatâs happening. This is not compulsory but may help us give you more accurate advice. These will be discussed with you at your consult and youâll be given a quote. Youâll then be sent a link for payment before any testing is ordered.
What if I need more help after the 6 months?
No problem, we can continue to help and youâll be charged per appointment you need.
Can I delay my consults or get a refund?
The 6-month 1:1 program is non-transferable and non-refundable, unless I determine that I can’t help you or there is a better person to help you. We totally get there are times that you are away and need to stretch out times between your consults, and thatâs okay. So long as your consults are completed within a 9-month window.
Who sets the consult times?
You lock in your next appointment at the end of every appointment with Clare.
I'm vegetarian/vegan, can you work with me?
Yes, absolutely! I’ll work with whatever your dietary choices, and this is the beauty of working 1:1 is that my advice can be a lot more tailored to your needs – whether they be dietary or anything else.
I will also never give you a diet plan that you have to follow (cue eye roll!). I put a lot of the focus in your appointments into you understanding your body and educating you so that you can create your own meal plans and adapt recipes to suit your dietary choices. My philosophy is along the lines of âteach a woman to fishâ – if I give you the tools then you can make any situation work, whereas if I just give you a strict diet plan to follow, then it wouldn’t be sustainable.
