• I will offer in-home visits for patients with physical barriers who are unable to make it to the office. Fees are based on the standard rates. An additional $50 travel fee will apply.

• Depending on the individual case, phone or Skype consultations may be acceptable for follow-up visits. Fees are assessed according to the standard rates (what I would charge for an in-person appointment).
• Appointments for patients who live far from my clinics or outside of Canada are all done virtually
• I do require a deposit prior to your virtual appointment. Please see the “Fees” section for this.

• Your first visit is 1 ½ to 2 hours for an adult and 1 to 1 ½ hours for a child. I will take you through a detailed history and a screening physical exam. The goal in this visit is to go beyond the obvious signs and symptoms that you are experiencing to understanding the true nature of your concerns – the root cause. The source of your pain is not always the cause of your pain. I will ask questions about your general heath – both physical and mental/emotional. This is part of the way I gather information to better understand your health concerns. I find out about your past to see what effect it is having on your present state. At the end of your first visit I will offer some preliminary recommendations, such as dietary modifications, vitamin or herbal supplements. Between your initial and follow-up appointment, I am doing research and often finding a homeopathic remedy for you. Considerable thought and work go into developing an individualized treatment plan that takes into account the whole picture of your health.

• Since retiring my naturopathic license my services are no longer covered by healthcare benefits (insurance through your workplace)

My services are available to anyone who wants to work on their health. I do not provide pro bono work (most people do not value free stuff), however, I do offer a sliding scale to students (without health benefits), the elderly, and those who are under-employed or unemployed. This I offer on an individual basis after discussing your situation with you and what you are able to afford.

• You will notice that I charge less at my Picton office. That is simply a reflection of urban dwellers earning higher incomes than people working in rural areas.

  I realize there are many exceptions on both sides – especially with so many urban dwellers now living in the county and working remotely. However, I also need to scale my fees relative to what other practitioners are charging. 

  *currently – these fees include HST.
