Initial Consultation

​​

An initial consultation lasts 75 minutes. I will take a thorough assessment of your current symptoms as well as a detailed health history including diet, lifestyle, and how different aspects of your life might be influencing your health. Together we can see your complete health picture over time in order to begin to identify the root of your current symptoms.  ​

​

​​​I will then ​double check your list of medications, supplements, and allergies that you submitted in your intake form to make sure everything is current and accurate. 

​

I will then use a Chinese modality and look at your tongue and take your pulses, as well as your blood pressure and any other physical examinations that may be useful (ie: respiratory exam etc).

​

We will conclude the appointment and after you leave I will do any necessary research and check any relevant herb/drug interactions and then I will create your individualised herbal formulas and consider any dietary and lifestyle adjustments that would be helpful. You will receive a follow up email with details of your formulas as well as any suggested dietary and lifestyle changes or recommend supplements. 

​

Herbal formulas can be collected on a Thursday or can be posted to you.

 

 You will be asked to return for a follow up appointment after 3 weeks to make sure that you are getting on well with the herbs and then we can follow up monthly or as needed after that.
