Health Consultation Services
There is a lot of information available pertaining to health. How do you decide what is best for you? Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Homeopathy, and Nutrition have helped me form an interdisciplinary approach to health and wellbeing. Addressing core issues related to restoring optimal health involves a process of changing lifestyle-related habits. This may consist of making smart food choices, discovering food allergies and intolerances, changing exercise habits, and addressing sleep patterns.
Initial Consultation
|
Current state of health is the culmination of past lifestyle, exposure to disease, and other environmental factors. The initial consultation is a comprehensive health review and generally lasts about an hour and a half. During the Initial Consultation, your health history is evaluated, and optimal ways towards achieving your health goals are discussed. Various improvements are considered forming an individualized approach in relationship to lifestyle, exercise, and food consumption habits. Homeopathic remedies along with herbal and vitamin supplementation may also be recommended.
Evening and weekend appointments are available. (Fill out a New Patient Packet. This must be received 1 week prior to your scheduled appointment.) |
Follow-up Consultation
|
A Follow-up Consultation addresses both new and persistent health issues. It is an opportunity to discuss difficulties in implimenting the existing recommendations. Changes may be suggested to any recommendation. In the absence of urgent or emerging issues, an annual follow-up is recommended.

Hair Mineral Analysis
|
You are more than what you eat. It’s what you digest and absorb that affects your wellbeing. Using the latest technology, a Perkin Elmer Elan 9000 ICP Mass Spectrometer, the levels of 16 minerals and 5 toxic metals contained in a 1-1/2 inch hair sample are precisely measured. A detailed insight into the current state of health is obtained by analyzing this data, which reveals underlying mineral deficiencies and excesses. A comparison of 6 crucial mineral ratios, using a combination of modern biological, physiological, and biochemical concepts further assesses the status of your health. A summary of how your individual mineral imbalances and the presence of toxic metals relate to metabolic disturbances and which symptoms are associated with them, is part of a personalized 15-20 page report. Also included is an easy-to-read chart, specific recommendations for dietary changes, and possible supplementation. A 30-minute telephone consultation is provided to answer any questions and help you get started on your program for better health.
