What we do

At Agewell we help all members of the family.

Quite simply, what we do is help you feel great again, to recover the health and vitality you may have lost.

Instead of writing a prescription for a drug to suppress your symptoms, while your underlying health continues to get worse, we will look at the big picture, at what’s actually causing the symptoms you’re experiencing.

And sure we want to treat and alleviate your symptoms, everyone wants to feel better, but we also want to investigate and eliminate the underlying causes of your illness, to help you return to real health, not just put a Band Aid on the symptoms.

At Agewell we spend the time to find the causes of your ill health, and then use a range of simple natural therapies to address the causes of your illness and aid your body to heal.

Our initial consultation is one hour long, giving you the time to discuss what’s really happening for you, while our follow up consultations are 30 minutes.

This gives us the time to work with you on your health, to support and guide you back to the health and vitality you deserve.

By completing our Health Assessment Questionnaire before you come, you allow us more time to spend discussing your health rather than filling out paperwork, helping us provide you with better service and saving you money.
