Your First Visit
This visit last 60 minutes. During this visit we will have an in depth conversation about your main concerns and overall health picture. We will also do any indicated physical exams. Together we will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and health goals.
Follow up Visits
These visits are between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the procedure, complexity of the situation and the patient. These visits include a consultation, physical exam (if necessary) and refinement of treatment plan. Acupuncture, acupressure, craniosacral and spiritual healing sessions are typically 60 minutes, although shorter visits are available.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
If you have been suffering with a chronic health condition for months or years, it will take some time to to improve.
While the frequency and the number of visits depends on the person, the situation, and types of treatments we are using, there are some general guidelines:
If we are using acupuncture, acupressure or craniosacral therapy as part of your treatment, I recommend an initial visit, and then a visit every week for six weeks, or until your condition stabilizes. After this, we can begin spacing the treatments out, as you will likely need them less frequently. If we are using these therapies for acute injuries and/or severe pain, I see the best results with two treatments a week for 2-4 weeks.
If we are using only dietary and herbal therapy in your treatment, visits are generally less frequent. For most people, I recommend a visit once or twice a month for the first three to six months. Once your condition stabilizes, we can begin to space out the visits.
Naturopathic consults as well as spiritual healing sessions may be done remotely via secure video conferencing.
