Your Naturopathic Journey Starts here
As a naturopathic doctor, I provide a variety of services and tools to assist you on your health journey. I often utilize a combination of these services, including dietary and lifestyle counseling, herbal medicine, IV therapy, and acupuncture, to deliver you care that is tailored to your specific health needs.
I offer simple to follow, confident, treatment plans that focus on achieving hormonal balance, metabolic flexibility, and increased energy.
How to work together
We start with a discovery call, which is a free phone consult to discuss your health concerns and the type of care you are seeking. This provides an opportunity to ensure there is alignment with my care and your needs. I then establish care through an initial consultation which allows you to uncover your health history and provides the opportunity to determine the root cause of your health concerns. As the next step, functional laboratory testing, bloodwork, physical examination or imagery may all be warranted to make an accurate diagnosis. With this information I deliver a personalised treatment plan to you. Continued care is established through regular follow-up appointments.
Naturopathic Consultations
Each new patient requires a comprehensive naturopathic intake. Initial consultations are 75-90 minute appointments where I gather a detailed assessment of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, health goals and other relevant information in order to determine root cause of your health concerns. This visit also gives us the opportunity to address missing information and discuss testing that may be necessary to guide treatment. At the end of the appointment, we will come up with a treatment plan customized to your specific health goals.
Depending on your specific health concerns diagnostic testing such as serum blood work, urine analysis, digestive and hormonal panels may be necessary to develop an effective treatment plan.
Based on information gathered during your initial visit and diagnostic testing we will initiate a treatment plan best suited for you. I am always willing to adapt treatment plans that are best suited for your lifestyle, ease and preferences.
I offer regular follow up appointments in 20, 30 and 45 minute time slots. These can be used to review lab results, identify areas of improvement, track your progress towards your health goals, and tweak treatment plans.
