HOW IT WORKS
We start with a short phone call to talk about your needs, concerns, and goals. If it sounds like our services are a good fit for your needs, we’ll schedule a new client visit. New client visits can take place:
In client's home (this also includes assisted living facilities and long term care facilities) Virtually In-Office. Follow-up consults are scheduled under "existing clients."
Health plan recommendations and educational material are given at end of each visit or within 24 hours after visit depending on the complexity. This allows us time to write up recommendations, and complete additional research if needed to ensure you receive the highest quality of care.
Health plans may consist of recommendations in:
Lifestyle modifications: Nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, adapting/modifying activities of daily living
Naturopathic therapies: Homeopathy, botanical support, flower essence, biotherapeutic drainage, hydrotherapy, and nutraceutical supplementation
Hands on therapies: Pelvic floor therapy, maya abdominal massage, craniosacral therapy, micro-current point stimulation, and energy therapy
Food intolerance testing and specialized laboratory testing
Home modification recommendations and medical equipment/adaptive equipment recommendations
HEALTH INSURANCE
