“Virtual Health”

If you are on the email list of any health providers, you have probably seen this term thrown around a lot recently. With the arrival of COVID-19, and its associated social restrictions and lockdowns, almost every provider has opened up the possibility of virtual health consults. What isn’t clear for a lot of people is exactly what that means or what in the world happens during one. While I can’t answer for other providers, I do want to let you know that, yep I’m on the virtual health bandwagon, and to let you know what that means when you participate in a virtual health consult with me. 

When you sign up for your virtual consult, you will receive a new patient intake form. For simplicity's sake, I use the same intake form for acupuncture treatments and virtual consults. You will need to fill this form out prior to your appointment. Your virtual health appointment is scheduled for one full hour, which means we have lots of time to dive deep if we need to. When we hop on to our video chat, I will ask you to share with me the health issues that are holding you back. I will ask you about what you are feeling physically and how you are doing emotionally. We will workshop to key in on the vision of you feeling your best self. With all of that information I will then come up with an actionable plan of care that you can implement at home. While this will look different for everyone, it may include things like acupressure, stretching and PT exercises, dietary changes, herbal therapy, or mindfulness practices. I will make sure that these steps make sense to you, and give you the opportunity to ask questions and receive clarification. 

After your appointment, I will send you an email with a brief follow-up so that you have a reference guide to access for the treatment plan we create. I will also make sure you have the correct links to purchase any recommended herbs, supplements, or tools (bonus: virtual health patients qualify for 20% off of their prescribed herbal and supplement purchases). If your physical or emotional health issues are significant, you will likely benefit from a full treatment plan, including several consults so we can make sure you are staying on track with your health goals.

If you are ready to start feeling your best self, book now to secure your time online.

Still have questions? You are welcome to schedule a 20-minute discovery call to make sure this makes sense for you.
