A preliminary treatment plan and prescription for herbs, supplements and diet/lifestyle recommendations will also be given to address acute and priority complaints. 
Cost $165
(Note herbs/supplements at additional cost, see below)

Report On Test Results – 60 to 90 minutes
A follow up from the initial session where we will go over test results to determine the nature of your imbalance/pathology and the steps required to address it. This will include a short and longer term therapeutic plan with detailed herbal/nutritional prescription as well as more specifically targeted dietary and lifestyle interventions. In some cases a follow up Diet Session may be required to put in place meal plans and assist further education and understanding of a particular detailed process (ie: Anti-inflammatory diet, SIBO/Histamine or Ketogenic diet). You will be advised as to whether any follow up testing is required to further investigate findings, or after a set period of treatment to re-assess health status and progress of therapies.
Cost $95 to $125 
(A singular standard test result will require a 1 hour consult whereas 2 or more tests will require extended time for perusal and treatment plan. Note herbs/supplements at additional cost, see below)

Dietary Strategy Consultation – 60 to 90 minutes
A specialized session to strategize and implement a tailor made dietary plan for those with more complex requirements, such as Anti-inflammatory diet for gut health, Anti-inflammatory diet for auto-immune disease, Ketogenic diet for weight loss and metabolic disorders, Low carb/low histamine diet for SIBO, or for those with severe food intolerances requiring extensive eliminations and restrictions. Your time requirement will be determined by the complexity of your situation (ie: multiple conditions, medical interactions, level of knowledge/resourcefulness with cooking/meal planning/sourcing of appropriate foods).
Cost $95 to $125 
(Electronic or printed versions of meal plans, recipes and food as medicine handouts included)

Standard Return Consultation – 60 minutes
A follow up from any or all of the above sessions, where we monitor your progress with therapies and revise dosages of herbs and supplements according to need, efficacy and tolerance. This is a very important phase of the early process of therapy as herbal and nutritional supplements may need to be “tweaked” to get it just right for you. Ongoing it is helpful to acknowledge what is working and to further refine the recommendations, processes and ultimately your empowered practices which will benefit your health beyond therapy. Regular “checking in” also helps with accountability! Remember this is your journey and knowledge is not immunity – you have to put the resources to use and stay committed to the goal – I am here to help you do that too!
