Naturopathic medicine can help everyone in the family. If you are looking to prevent illness and optimize wellness for moms, dads and kids, then a visit with the Naturopathic Doctor is in order. Together we can ensure that everyone in the family is eating well, sleeping well, and feeling well. We can assess for food sensitivities that might be contributing to upset tummies, eczema, allergies or asthma, work to prevent colds, flus and ear infections, support healthy energy levels and moods, all while using a natural approach.

Your Initial Consultation and Appointment
At your first appointment you can expect that we will do a lot of talking. I want to hear all about what you are experiencing and how it is impacting your life. I will ask about your health history and your current lifestyle. If you have any recent blood work, test results, or any other pertinent medical information, please bring it along with you to your first appointment. I will do any necessary physical exams that are related to your health concerns. If applicable, we may decide to run some additional diagnostic testing. Together, we will discuss a treatment plan that will work for you and your busy lifestyle. By the time you leave, I hope that you will feel empowered to take your health into your own hands. The initial visit runs anywhere from 60-90 minutes.
Your Follow Up Appointment
At your follow up appointments, we will track your progress. We will determine if you need to continue with the current treatment plan, or if modifications need to be made. The follow up appointments vary in length, and can be anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

Acupuncture
Together, we may decide that acupuncture will be a good adjunctive therapy to include in your treatment plan. Acupuncture is most effective if done regularly and consistently. Therefore, when including acupuncture as part of your plan, it is best to do a treatment once per week for 6-10 weeks. Your Treatment Plan I believe that simple changes can result in amazing health outcomes. I often look at diet and lifestyle first, as these two things are the foundations for our health. Making changes to your diet and lifestyle are cost-effective and profound. However, I may also recommend nutritional or herbal supplements and acupuncture to help correct for any deficiencies, combat any underlying infections, or to “reset” processes in the body that may not be running as smoothly as they should. I use supplements strategically, meaning you won't leave my office with a laundry list of things to take. I do not believe that there are any “magic pills” or single “super foods” that can cure all that may ail us in a sustainable way, but I do believe in the power of making a daily commitment to making healthy choices. |
