What to expect at your visit
You should allow about 1 1/2 hours for your first visit .On this initial visit, we will talk about all your healthconcerns. You will likely have been e-mailed an intake form ahead, please fill this out and bring it with you. Please answer all the questions completely. In Chinese Medicine varying issues and symptoms often have relationship with each other. From what we talk about, I will be able to formulate an approach to help you get back to better health. You will be given a series of directions for what to do next, with regards to nutrition and supplements, types of protocols most likely to be used, etc. and detailed information on how to proceed. You may or may not be given herbs to take home at this time. This may be because you are on one or more medications, which will have to be taken into consideration when I decide which formula or therapy best suits your needs.
All visits are by appointment only and if you need to cancel or change an appointment, I appreciate being notified 24 hours in advance. I will be more than happy to schedule a better time for you.
The information you give will be held in strictest confidence.
PROTOCOLS
In the beginning herbs are given for a week or 10 days and are given per body weight, which allows me to fine tune the formulas more quickly and is for your benefit. Later the herbs will be given for longer periods. Refills can be picked up at the office or can be mailed to you. How long you will need to continue with the therapy depends on the complexity and duration of your health issues. For acute illnesses, it may be just a few days and require only the initial visit. With chronic or longer standing conditions it will be longer, for some less than a month, for some it may be two or three months or longer. We will be happy to discuss this with you. Please also understand that herbs to not act on the body as quickly as medication, though in more acute situation resolution may not take very long.
SUBSEQUENT VISITS
Subsequent visits will be scheduled as needed or dependent on the therapies we decide are best for you. For some it may be a week or two later, for others less often.
POLARITY THERAPY
We may combine Polarity Therapy with herbal therapy. Some clients come for Polarity Therapy sessions only. The duration of a session is generally 1 - 1 ¼ hour, to allow for me to check in with you before we start. This allows me to plan for changes I feel are need during the session.
I look forward to serving you. Let me know how I can help you.
