Work With Me
HERE'S TO HAPPY, HEALTHY CYCLES
MY APPROACH
My approach to care is patient-centric. Where you are the hero and I am the guide. We work together to help you achieve your health goals in a manner that is do-able for YOU.
My approach is integrative. This means that I am not here to replace anyone on your current healthcare team, including your medical doctor. A naturopathic doctor, such as myself, can add value to your team by focusing on you as a whole person, addressing the root causes of your concerns, and working towards disease prevention, all while working collaboratively with your current healthcare team.
My approach is transformational. Unlike our current healthcare system, which is set up to address your concerns like a transaction, I aim to help you shift your current situation so that you can transform your health and reach your goals. This approach often includes more frequent points of contact with your health provider during your active phase of care to be sure we have the right roadmap to achieve your transformation.

SIGNATURE APPROACH
My Signature Approach to Care involves a thorough assessment of your current and past medical history as well as your family history. Hearing your story is an important part of our time together during our initial visit.
An essential part of putting the pieces together involves an evaluation of where you stand on the foundational, core, and longevity pillars of health, so that we know where we need to place our focus.
A key part of my evaluation also includes objective information, namely through extensive lab testing. This includes tests that may have been done as part of your standard blood work done with your medical doctor as well as additional tests. These tests help me put the root cause puzzle together and help me curate the most comprehensive and targeted plan for you that will deal with your current concerns and help prevent future issues.

GET STARTED
Alignment Call
Just The Beginning
Let's get to know each other. During your alignment call, we'll just scratch the surface of your health concerns and find out if working together is a good fit.
ACTIVE PHASE
Feeling Better
Initial appointment (90 minutes): During this appointment we discuss a thorough history of your health and review past blood work. We will also build a wish list for blood work to do after this visit for deeper evaluation.
Second appointment (60 minutes):
This visit takes place roughly 5 weeks after your first visit. During this visit, we will review your blood work extensively so that you understand how your blood work parameters are impacting your health so that we can build body literacy as part of your transformational health experience. We will also build out your plan together to be sure it’s a plan that you feel confident that you can execute.
Active Phase of Care (typically 6 months for most people), will generally require meeting another 1-3 times in addition to our first 2 visits to be sure that we are on the right trajectory for meeting your health goals. We often repeat some blood work after 3 months of working together to be sure we are on the right track.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are your services covered by 3rd party insurance?
Naturopathic medical services are covered by most 3rd party insurance. It is best to review your policy to see how much you are covered for per visit and per year. Please call your provider if you have questions.
Do you direct bill?
I do not direct bill to your insurer which means that you pay at the time of your appointment. I will provide an invoice with all the details needed to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Cancellation Policy
I have a 48 hour cancellation policy. Please cancel or reschedule your appointment before the 48 hour window before your appointment in order to allow enough time to fill your spot with a patient who is waiting to get in. The cancellation fee is 50% of the appointment fee.
Where do I park when I come to see you?
I do not have a parking spot in the Essential Balance parking lot for my patients. You can park on Oxford Street which is just east of the building and usually has ample street parking available. Please give yourself a few extra minutes to find parking and make your way into the
