Scope of Care

I voluntarily consent to receive naturopathic care and/or health coaching services from Dr. Sarah Marshall.

Dr. Marshall provides services designed to support overall health, healing, and optimal function. This care is not a substitute for primary medical care or emergency services. Clients are strongly encouraged to maintain a relationship with a licensed primary care physician.

Dr. Marshall is licensed as a naturopathic physician in the states of Arizona and Utah. For clients residing in those states, she may practice within that legal scope, including prescribing medications and performing routine screenings when appropriate.

For clients outside of those states, services are provided in an educational and consultative capacity.

Nature of Naturopathic Care

Naturopathic care may include recommendations related to:

  • Nutrition and dietary therapy

  • Lifestyle and behavioral changes

  • Botanical medicine and nutritional supplementation

  • Homeopathy and natural therapeutics

The goal of care is to support the body’s natural healing processes and address underlying contributors to health concerns.

No guarantees are made regarding outcomes. Individual results vary.

Health Coaching

At times, services may include health coaching.

Health coaching is intended to provide guidance, perspective, and accountability in support of behavior change and personal growth. You remain fully responsible for your decisions, actions, and results.

Some aspects of this work may challenge existing patterns and may feel uncomfortable at times. Ongoing communication and engagement in the process are encouraged.

Telehealth Services

All services are provided remotely via telehealth.

Telehealth includes inherent limitations, including:

  • The inability to perform a physical examination

  • Dependence on client-reported information

  • Potential technical or communication disruptions

By proceeding with care, you acknowledge and consent to receiving services in this format.
