Disclaimer

 

As a provider of Nutritional Therapy and Lifestyle Medicine consulting services Shanti Wellbeing use an integrative approach to both diet and lifestyle to optimise clients’ health. We guide clients towards an overall healthier life, by looking at their nutrition patterns, physical fitness, emotional and psychological health.

​

We utilise the principles and practices of naturopathic medicine to assist the body's own ability to heal and to improve the quality of life and health through natural means.

 

As a non-medical service, the information provided here is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Nutritional therapy does not claim to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, including cancer. Instead we focus on creating optimal conditions for the body’s own powerful healing abilities to function.

Clients Understand That:

 

• The information given on diet, supplements and lifestyle should be seen by you as a tool enabling you to take charge of your own healing. We view our principal role as guides and educators; after which the responsibility lies with you to act on the advice given (studies show that patients who take responsibility for their health have a higher chance of full recovery). Having said this, we will provide continuing advice and support for you as long as you need it.

​​

• Rebuilding the health of the body takes time and along the way nutritional and lifestyle needs will change. For that reason it may be necessary for us to work together over a period of weeks and possibly months so that any required changes can be made to your programme.

​

• Changes in dietary habits are a prerequisite for nutritional therapy and you understand that failure to follow sound nutritional and lifestyle recommendations could undermine any expected results.

​​

• We do not replace your GP or medical specialist, and you will need to keep your relationship with these physicians as they will remain your primary health-care workers. You should not discontinue existing medication without consent from you GP.

​​

• We  reserve the right to determine which cases fall outside our scope of practice, in which event the appropriate referral will be recommended.

​

• Personalised Nutrition & Lifestyle Programmes: We find that our work with clients and the results they obtain tend to be more effective if they make a commitment to work within a recommended time frame. However, we reserve the option to apply flexibility and adapt timelines based on each client's needs.
  
  Ideally, each Programme should be used within a specified period of time, after which any remaining sessions are lost (and we will not be able to offer you a refund), unless we agree on a different schedule:

  • ​EMPOWERED Programme: 4 months

  • FOCUSED Programme: 5 months

  • THRIVING Programme: 6 months

  • Follow-Up Package A: 4 months (Existing Clients)

  • Follow-Up Package B: 6 months (Existing Clients)

​​

• We understand that you sometimes need to cancel appointments and if you cancel up to 48 hours before your appointment you will get a full refund, minus an administration fee of £50. If there is an urgent situation and you need to cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice please contact us and we will come to an arrangement.

​​

• We will be available to answer brief questions by email or phone in case of difficulties in between sessions, but this is not an alternative to proper follow-up appointments.

​​

• All information you provide will be kept private and confidential. Shanti Wellbeing will not contact members of your medical team unless we have discussed it with you first and you have given your consent. See Privacy Policy for detailed information about how we collect, safeguard and protect your personal information.

​​

• The ultimate responsibility for your health care is your own and we are here to support you in this. We reserve the right to discontinue our services where it is apparent that your expectations, and what we can provide, are not in agreement.

​

• You must contact Shanti Wellbeing should you wish to continue any specified supplement programme for longer than the
  original agreed period, to avoid any potential adverse reactions.

​​

• We will make clear any charges for consultations and any tests before undertaking them.

​

• You are not an agent of any private or government agency attempting to gather information without stating your intentions.

​

• By ordering supplements and tests through Shanti Wellbeing may entitle you to discounts off the recommended retail prices. Please note that in some cases Shanti Wellbeing may receive a small commission from the providers of such products and services, and any commissions are fully reinvested to support Dr Grisendi's continued professional development and training activities.

​​

• If you are not satisfied with our services and feel you have not gained anything from the experience of working with us, we will be happy to provide a refund for your remaining session(s), minus an administration fee of £50.​
