How does it work?
Book Initial Consultation:
Choose Date, Complete Intake Form.
-
When you book with me I review your health history and personal history from your intake form. Any recent (past 12 months) bloodwork or medical reports can be sent through for me to review as well. I jot down items I need to clarify with you in our first session together.
During Initial Consultation:
Assessment, intention setting.
-
In-person (@ The Hydrostone Body and Mind Clinic, Halifax, NS) and remote sessions available. During our initial consultation together we review and clarify your intake form so that I’ve got all the details I need to begin putting a care plan together with you. We discuss key intentions for the session(s) and some “quick wins” for the session that you can begin implementing from day one.
Following the Initial Consultation:
Summary sent, follow-up plan.
-
Following our initial consultation I will get a brief summary e-mail (via Practice Better: my secure practice management software) out to you within 2 x business days. This will cover highlights of the session as well as any resources we may have discussed. For most people, it takes around 3 x sessions total to see results. Change takes time and I like to be upfront about this as I want you to see the success you’re after.
