Partner Process

Healing begins when you show yourself enough loving-kindness, knowing or unknowingly, and took the first step to start the journey.

STEP 1: DISCOVERY CALL & INITIAL FORMS

  • Book a free 20-minute discovery call to determine whether or not we are a good fit. You can do that over here

  • If we decide to work with each other, initial consultation forms will be sent to you. Please complete them and proceed to the next step.

STEP 2: OBTAIN LABS

  • Please obtain the following baseline labs through your General Practitioner:

    • CBC with differential

    • Urinalysis

    • Biochemistry: Albumin, ALP, ALT, AST, Bilirubin (Total), Calcium, Creatinine, Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl), estimated GFR, GGT, Glucose (fasting), HgbA1C, Lipase, Lipids profile, Protein (total), Uric acid, Urea

Additional Notes:

  • If you have difficulty accessing your primary care provider, please see Frankie Ma at the Meadowlark Medicine Shoppe. His contact information can be found here: https://medicineshoppemeadowlark.ca

  • Please send me an email upon getting your blood drawn so that I can be on top of your labs to impede delay.

STEP 3: INITIAL CONSULTATION AND CASE REVIEW

  • The initial consultation lasts anywhere between 60 to 75 minutes and will include a review of your intake form, labs. You will be provided with an educational overview of your clinical impressions, a personalized lifestyle, food, diet and nutrition, and supplements plan. Additional labs may be requested at this time. Follow-up care and the phases of your plan will be discussed.

Future Project:


The more time I spend in practice, the more I see patients in need of help implementing the basics or getting confused by everything on the internet. The goal of the future wellness library is to provide individuals with the knowledge and understanding needed to help build a relationship with their bodies (video lectures and notes) but also the practical wisdom (worksheets, handouts, and other resources) for successful execution.


Whether or not you are ready to work with me, everybody deserves a space to gain education and feel empowered to make changes, in a clear evidenced-based way that is filled with fun and practicality.


So look out for more sass and tea spilling.
