FAQs
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ‘INTEGRATIVE’?
I believe wellness runs way deeper than just the physical aspects of exercise and diet. I’ll be guiding you toward health & wellness by looking at the way you live your life — knowing that your daily habits and routines become the medicine. I will also be leaning on additional modalities, such as mineral balancing & homeopathy. Health is all-encompassing.
HOW ARE THE SESSIONS TARGETED & PERSONALIZED TO MEET MY NEEDS?
Our initial sessions will be dedicated to assessing your current wellness and using this information as a launching point to create a personalized plan to fit your unique needs. I believe in bio-individuality: meaning you are a unique individual and as such, you deserve a unique wellness plan. Everyone has pain points when it comes to achieving full body wellness. Using HTMA data as well as bloodwork and a thorough intake, we can target our approach to exactly what your body is asking for.
What is an htma?
HTMA stands for ‘hair tissue analysis’. It’s a non-invasive test that measures the levels of minerals and heavy metals in your hair. Because hair grows slowly, it provides a long-term picture of what's happening inside your body — unlike blood tests, which reflect more immediate or short-term changes.
Minerals are the essential spark-plugs for nearly every function in the body, from hormone balance and energy production to mood, sleep, and digestion. An HTMA can help uncover mineral imbalances, heavy metal accumulation, and stress patterns that may be impacting your health.
I use HTMA to guide personalized protocols focused on restoring mineral balance and supporting your body’s ability to heal naturally.
What bloodwork is required
The bloodwork is not necessarily required, however it is very helpful especially when there are concerns around iron and copper. The tests that I like to look at are available through my partnership with evexia diagnostics as follows:
Ceruloplasmin
Copper
Ferritin
Hemoglobin
Iron & TIBC
Magnesium RBC
Transferrin
Uric Acid
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Vitamin D
Zinc
This blood panel can also be purchased separately through request-a-test which allows you to select between labcorp and Quest. Bloodwork is purchased separately from the coaching and HTMA packages.
WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?
Homeopathy is a complete system of natural medicine that works by stimulating the body’s own healing intelligence. The remedies are made from plants, minerals, or other natural substances and are prepared through a specific process of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking), making them energetic rather than chemical in nature. Homeopathic remedies are gentle, non-toxic, and tailored to treat the individual’s energetic disturbance, the true root cause of illness, rather than just masking symptoms.
HOW DO I TAKE MY REMEDIES?
All homeopathic doses (liquids & pillules), are meant to be taken under the tongue unless otherwise prescribed. Children’s doses can be given into their mouths. As you are dosing, try not to let the dropper touch your mouth. As a reminder, the pipette is made from glass, so be careful not to let children touch the dropper to their mouth or teeth. If you can’t feel the drops going under your tongue, a mirror can be used or you can alternate sides as you dispense the drops. I.e. one drop left side under tongue, one drop right side under tongue etc. Allow the liquid remedy dissolve for 20 seconds and then swallow any remaining liquid. If your remedy is in pillules form, these can be left to dissolve under the tongue.
WHAT IS A SUCCUSSION?
A succussion is firmly tapping the bottle against the palm of your hand. This is done before each dose and instructions about the exact amount of succussions should be followed precisely.
WHAT IS RAPID DOSING?
When taking a first-aid remedy during an acute injury or illness, the remedies can be dosed using a rapid dosing technique. Succuss the bottle and then add the prescribed amount of drops to 500mls of pure water in a glass water bottle. Shake it up well and sip every 15 minutes or as needed.
