Choosing Your Appointment

THE COMPREHENSIVE APPOINTMENT

This appointment option is designed to determine where your illness originates, or what is generating it, address symptoms, and restore and preserve your long-term health.

I WILL TAKE THE TIME TO:

listen to you, and to REALLY get to know you and your health concerns.
fully review your completed health questionnaires, analyze your current healthcare routine, yours and close family medical history, and any medical tests or reports you bring with you.
review current medications, nutritional supplements, your lifestyle, and possible toxic or hazardous exposure.
perform non-invasive physical exams that are relevant for your symptoms, assess your biochemical/metabolic and genetic individuality, and discuss options and resources for any stress/emotional issues related to your health.
discuss options regarding lab tests to assist me in identifying your health needs,
perform an Iridology assessment to determine genetic strengths and weakness and help evaluate the root cause of illness or health concerns you may have.
explain my findings and set up a personal program to address the base, or phase 1, of your program.

TREATMENTS

It is important to remember that each person manifests illness in a way that is unique to them. There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” health program in my practice. Every program I design is created exclusively for each individual, and focuses not just on the illness and treating symptoms, but also on balancing the body and immune system, promoting overall well-being and creating lasting health.

I draw on an effective combination of therapies to help your body heal, and the modalities used will be unique to you and your needs. These include, but are not limited to:

stress management including EFT
herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional medicine
enzyme therapy
personalized dietary programs
cleansing or detoxing and pH balancing programs
hydrotherapy
exercise
massage, meditation, acupuncture, cranial sacral work
osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation
allopathic medical intervention if necessary

When your initial comprehensive consultation is concluded, you will have received a thorough education about your condition and…

A simple-to-follow program chart
Fact sheets and/or instruction sheets
A copy of my publication, “The Body Owner’s Guidebook”
An individualized copy of one of my diet planning, or pH balancing or cleansing/detox guidebooks.

You will be given all the tools you’ll need to follow the first, or foundational phase, of your comprehensive program.

This appointment may run for 2 to 3 hours and the consultation is a flat-fee of $350.00. I do not bill insurance, Medicare and Medicaid for my services however, I can provide a receipt that can be submitted to your insurance company or your Health Savings Account which may reimburse you, or your insurance company may apply the payment towards your deductible.

Talk with me about your healthcare needs and goals and learn if my practice is right for you.

EFT EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE

At your EFT appointment I will take you through a complete EFT session AND teach you how to use EFT yourself. We can work together to address issues that are stressing you, issues that are keeping you stuck or decreasing your quality of life.

I have worked with patients to help them overcome fears, anger and irritation, guilt, grief, negative self image, self sabotage and self-doubt, sleep problems, compulsions,, anxiety, stress, weight issues, pain and many others. You can try EFT for anything that is bothering you or limiting you.

When you book your EFT session with me you will be rewarded with some very rapid and positive changes, often in emotional/physical situations that have not responded to other interventions.

Please Note: EFT is NOT a replacement for the psychological expertise provided by a therapist. EFT should never be used in place of medical treatment.

EFT appointments are $25 per 15 minutes. I do not accept any form of insurance.

CONFIDENTIALITY
All information and/or test results obtained or discussed in the course of your treatment are kept strictly confidential. If you wish your case to be discussed with another physician or practitioner, or your records or test results provided to any other healthcare provider, you are required to provide a written request including your permission/consent. There will be a minimum charge of $10 for administration, photocopying, preparation and mailing of records. Medical information will never be faxed or emailed to another office or individual without your written consent.

SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Although Naturopaths are trained in primary care, I do not carry a pager or practice “acute or emergency medicine”. My patients retain MDs or DOs as their primary care providers (PCPs). I work with patients on a long-term basis to correct the underlying cause of their health concern. I refer out for blood draws, pap and pelvic exams, school physicals, and all emergency care. When appropriate I will refer patients to highly qualified practitioners for physical therapy, osseous manipulation, cranial sacral therapy, psychological counseling, surgical procedures and allopathic medical care.
