Reviews
What customers say
The first visit was a full hour and nobody looked at the clock. The written plan was short enough to actually follow.
Rachel D. · Initial naturopathic visit
She sent a summary to my family doctor, so for once everyone was on the same page.
Mark L. · Digestive health follow-ups
The meal-planning sessions were realistic for two working parents and three kids.
Jasmine P. · Nutrition counselling
FAQ
Common questions
What happens at the first visit?
We go through your health history, current concerns, diet, sleep, stress and any recent lab results. You leave with a written plan and a suggested follow-up date.
Is naturopathic care covered by insurance?
Many extended health plans cover a set amount of naturopathic visits each year. Check your plan, and we can direct bill many of them.
Do I still need my family doctor?
Yes. We work alongside your doctor, not instead of them, and can send them a summary of your visit with your permission.
Can I book a video visit?
Yes. First visits and follow-ups can be done by video. Some physical exams and testing need an in-person visit.
Do I have to buy supplements from you?
No. If supplements are part of your plan, we explain why and you are welcome to buy them anywhere you like.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give us 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations may be charged half the visit fee.
