Naturopathic Medicine
Step 1: Free Discovery Call
Prospective patients start with a discovery phone call. This allows me to learn about your health concerns and wellness goals and answer any questions you may have about working together. If my expertise aligns with your health goals, the next step is scheduling a new patient appointment.
Step 2: New Patient Appointment
During the first appointment, we will take a deep dive in to your health including your medical history, current health concerns, and wellness goals. This appointment lasts for up to two hours which allows time and space for me to understand your personal health story. We will discuss foundations of health such as diet, sleep, stress management, and exercise. If further investigation such as labs and imaging are indicated, this will also be discussed during your appointment.
Steps 3-Onward: Follow Up
During the first follow up appointment, we will discuss any lab results that were ordered after the first appointment in detail as well as a personalized treatment plan based on the results.
We will then follow up as needed while working through health concerns.
Holistic Nutrition
While nutrition guidance is covered during naturopathic medicine visits, I also provide stand-alone holistic nutrition appointments for those who are looking to focus on support with dietary changes.
I recognize that dietary changes can be one of the hardest things to implement for many people, and can be very triggering for those exposed to diet culture. My nutrition philosophy is centered around balance and I believe that even small shifts in diet can lead to big improvements in health over time.
In addition to general holistic nutrition, I am passionate about pregnancy nutrition and supporting women in learning how to nourish themselves and their growing baby with the foods they eat during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
To schedule a holistic nutrition appointment, the first step is starting with a free discovery call.
Appointment Types & Associated Cost*:
I provide both in-person and virtual care. All online appointments are conducted on a secure virtual platform.
*labs, imaging, and treatment recommendations are not included in the price of the appointment.
