  • In order to create formulas with optimal herbal synergy, that are also safe to use in your current medical condition, we take careful consideration of your current medications and herbal / dietary supplements.

Follow Up Consultations

It is recommended that you schedule a follow up consultation 4-6 weeks after your initial consultation so we can assess and support positive health changes and optimize your health plan.

  • Follow up ayurvedic consultations are 25 min – 50 min in duration and are $50 / $95
  • The total number of follow up consultations needed may vary, but usually at least 3 sessions are needed to implement changes, access and monitor results.

How do I make these changes? 

At the end of the ayurvedic consultation, we will make a wellness plan together, with gradual changes, step by step, that feel doable with your current lifestyle, time and energy levels.  We are available to answer general questions via email or short phone calls.  Further changes we will make together in follow up consults, where we can enjoy the steps you have taken, and the transformation you feel, as well as determine what steps to take next, and areas of support needed to make these changes.

How effective are online consultations? 

Online consultations, are just as effective due to face to face conference calling and detailed questioning and assessment. We can still effectively determine your ayurvedic constitution and current state of imbalance from your signs and symptoms and visual assessment of face, tongue, nails, etc. and create a health plan that will help you achieve results with success.
