Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do you work with?
I work with all kinds of complaints! Those who have reached a point where they are no longer finding answers in allopathic medicine and are being bounced from specialist to specialist and are tired of prescriptions that are causing more symptoms to pop up and aren’t getting any better find their way to naturopathic care. There are many complaints, but the most common things are people not feeling well and don’t know why, autoimmune issues, inflammatory conditions, chronic pain, hormone issues, migraines, general health, allergies. There are too many to list! I also work with clinical and genetic hemochromatosis.
Whenever someone receives a diagnosis, they often freak out (I’ve been there). The word disease scares so many, however, all disease is, is a state of dis•ease in the body. The body is no longer at ease and it is merely an imbalance somewhere in the body; an imbalance of minerals/enzymes/nutrients and a big energetic imbalance as well trapped emotions and stress. The body was never meant to be divided into separate systems; they are all connected and one works with the next. When we work to balance the body through a whole person (body, mind and spirit) approach, the body shifts and it will begin to heal in layers. The first symptoms that appeared are typically the last symptoms to resolve and the last and most recent symptom to arise is the first one to resolve.
Can you help me when I get something like a sore throat, flu, or any virus?
I do not do any emergency care. If you are already a client of mine and have a health portal through me, yes, I will help you with acute illness if you would like, and teach you how to manage it so that you know how to support your immune system, strengthen your terrain and teach you the why’s, in order to let your body purge the “virus” naturally. Occasional sickness can be a good thing! This is your body doing what it is supposed to do. If you run a fever, this is a healthy response to a toxin in your body and it’s your body’s way of burning it off and causing you to sweat so you can eliminate the invader/toxin. When you support the body correctly you should feel better within 24 hours; maybe not 100% but much better! A seasonal sickness is your body adjusting, detoxing and basically “installing new anti-virus software” the way nature and God intended.

How long will it take to see a difference or to feel better?
Due to bio-individuality, everyone is different and each person heals on their own timeline. Each person’s body responds differently. Many factors play into healing such as: How long have you had symptoms? What are you working on healing from? How disciplined are you and how willing are you to follow through with what is needed? Do you believe you can heal? There is not a straight path to healing and there aren’t any easy pills. Healing is journey and it is well worth the adventure. Anything worth having is worth working for.
What all is required to get started?
All you need to do to get started is to contact me to be invited into the Practice Better health portal. From there you will fill out the complete health history, consent forms, and the review of systems form. After I receive confirmation that everything was filled out and signed, then I will review the health history and make a recommendation for the next steps to dig deeper into finding the root cause. The next steps might include labs, HTMA or a bioresonance scan or a combination in order to get as much information to put your puzzle pieces together.
Can I choose to just have an appointment for Bioresonance Scan?
Yes, you can absolutely just schedule a bioresonance scan. These are usually done in a series of 3-4 scans spaced 5-8 weeks apart.
Can I do only virtual appointments?
Yes, I can help you virtually and all appointments can be done over the phone and zoom. I can do remote bioresonance scans with a saliva or hair sample. Labs and HTMA can also be discussed over the phone or zoom. I can order labs for you and I will mail you packet for the HTMA. All results will come to me and I will put together some visuals for you to see what we are discussing.
Where do I get my lab work drawn?
I recommend you get labs drawn from Quest and some can get them covered under insurance through their primary care provider.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not take insurance. Insurance doesn’t cover natural healing. I want to be able to provide the best possible care, therefore I don’t want to have to be tied down by the strict government regulations.
How much money will it cost me?
I won't and do not sugar coat anything. How much does sickness cost you? Does it cost you energy? Are you missing out on priceless moments with your family because you feel terrible? Are your pharmaceutical prescriptions causing you harsh side effects? Money spent on pharmaceutical’s, time lost with your family, kids, friends? Do you have pain that keeps you from living your best life and doing what you want to do? How much do you spend on fast food and Starbucks per month? How much do you spend on processed food - food packaged in boxes without refrigeration that you open up and eat as a snack? Your health is the most important, most valuable investment you will ever make that also yields the highest returns of any investment you will ever make. The investment varies person to person, depending on what is best for you. I do my best to make it affordable, enjoyable, and rewarding in every way possible.
