Consultations

Initial Consultation

Your first consultation includes an in-depth review and assessment of:

• Current health concerns
• Past medical history (including family health)
• Recent medical records and lab reports
• Lifestyle, including diet and exercise
• Emotional/mental/spiritual wellbeing
• Medications and supplements you are currently taking

Prior to your first appointment, please download and print out the Client Intake Form. Once completed, you can either fax, scan in and email, or mail your form in.

I also ask that you maintain a 3-day diet diary: record everything that you eat and drink for 3 consecutive days. Please bring this with you to your first appointment. It is very helpful if you can also bring any supplements and medications that you are taking; this will provide valuable information on ingredients (quality, dosage), as well as assessing for any potential contraindications. Recent medical reports or laboratory results (from within the last ~4 months) would also be helpful to bring, if available.

During the initial consultation (please allow 75-90 minutes), I will review your intake form and diet diary and gather any additional information from you that may be useful. I’ll assess any medical reports and lab results you’ve brought and review your medications and supplements. I may suggest additional testing (such as allergy testing, blood work, hormone levels) to help gain a complete picture of your current health status.

After your consultation, I will review the information gathered and perform any further research that may be necessary. Based on this information, I will develop a personalized program for you that includes herbal, dietary, and supplement suggestions, as well as exercise and lifestyle guidance. Your program is emailed to you, and you are welcome to send me any questions prior to preparation of your custom-compounded herbal medicine. Once prepared (usually within 3 business days), your customized herbal formula will be shipped to you.

Fee for Initial Consultation: $185.00 (+ HST)

I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with your other healthcare providers and, if additional healing modalities would be of benefit, I would be pleased to refer you to an appropriate practitioner.

Followup Appointments

Followup sessions are 30-45 minutes. Your first followup is scheduled at 2-3 weeks after the initial consultation to review your progress to date and make any modifications necessary to your program and custom herbal formula. Subsequent followups are scheduled at 3-to-6 week intervals over the next few months (frequency and duration will depend upon individual health concerns).

Please note: Regular followups are an integral part of the success of your personalized treatment program. They allow for ongoing adjustments to your custom-compounded herbal formulas and for revisions to your recommended protocol. It is important that you commit to these followups when considering an initial consultation, to ensure optimal benefit for your healthcare needs.

Fee for Followups: $85.00 (+ HST)

Custom-compounded herbal remedies and therapeutic supplements are in addition to consultation fees.
