What can I expect from an appointment?Initial consultations give us the opportunity to put together the pieces of your health puzzle, where we discuss: your major health goals or concerns, medical history, and a thorough assessment of things like your diet, sleep, mood, menstrual cycle and hormonal symptoms, skin, exercise, and overall lifestyle. The first consult is typically between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the clinic and patients’ concerns. For follow-up consultations, your appointment could range between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs and concerns. Virtual consults are available to residents in Ontario, Canada – giving you the opportunity to work on your healing journey right from the comfort of your own home. Clinic consults are available in Toronto and Mississauga. Don’t want a full consult? I’ve got you covered. I also offer 15-minute consultations to check-in with you!
