GEtting started - what you need IN THREE STEPS
IV IRON INFUSION PROGRAM & COSTS
1. BLOOD WORK
COST: $0 - 120 - $240
To be eligible for IV iron infusions I need to see recent bloodwork (taken with in the last 4 weeks)
You can either do this through your GP or Nurse practitioner or through me (billed privately). See below.
I need to see the following (costs if billed privately through my clinic):
Iron panel and CBC (about $120).
Liver & Kidney Panels, Electrolytes. (about $120).
2. INJECTION CONSULT
COST: $180
TIME: 45 minutes
Because... safety first.
Before you are eligible for IV iron therapy we need to have a consult so I can understand the full history and your goals with iron infusion therapy.
We'll review your blood work and do any relevant physical exams (blood pressure for example). If it's warranted and safe to do so, and we have enough time allotted ** we can do the first iron infusion that day or book you back in to begin.
Please come to your appointment fed and hydrated.

3. TREATMENTS
COST: $200 x 4
TIME: 45 Minutes
I use Venofer (iron sucrose) as it comes with the lowest risk and best safety profile (for a clinic my size).
I recommend weekly infusions for a total of 4 treatments. Each week your IV will contain up to 100 mg of iron.
Your first treatment might be a modified dose, depending on what I learn in your injection consult.
Most see clinical improvements between 3 and 21 days after.
We typically see ferritin increase by 10-15 points for each 100 mg of iron administered (less if anemic).
We will rerun the Iron Panel and CBC approximately 4-5 weeks after your last treatment.
Please come to your appointment fed and hydrated.

Love and Healing Meditation
In times of uncertainty, I find it helpful to come back to the things I know for sure.
What do I know to be true?
I know my body's ability to heal is true.
I know my heart is true.
I know the connection between others is true.
Why did I make this meditation?
A long-time patient just came in to pick up a tincture refill. After we raised our elbows from across the room she said, “I think the most important thing we need to be doing is sitting in nature, meditating and sending love and healing to the planet.” And while that may seem hokey, there is merit to it.
Studies show group consciousness has the power to change outcomes. This is called the Maharishi Effect.
The minimum number of people required to ‘jump-start’ a change in consciousness is the square root of 1% of a population. I live on an island with a population of about 870,000. This means that only 93 people are needed to be focusing their intentions on love and healing. Let’s make it an easy 100 for a little buffer. Maybe you and I can be part of those 100?
This is a pivotal time in human history.
It’s an opportunity to come back home (both literally, and to yourself) and re-prioritize what’s important to you, your family, our community, and the world at large.
It's time to come back to your heart.
Enjoy this meditation to calm your own body and sending healing love to your sisters and brothers all over the world.
You can see the original video on Facebook here.
I loved how people responded to the meditation.
They said things like:
"Calm and Relaxed."
"Fabulous."
"Great."
"Peaceful. Connected."
"Lovely, thank you."
"My heart rate is full."
"Thank you for doing that. Connection is what we need right now."
"That was awesome... I played the heartbeat on my drum through the whole thing."
"Thank you so much! Relaxed. Positive. Love."
And then!
Inspired by the experience, my sister painted this beautiful golden heart. Feel free to keep this image in your mind's eye as you're doing this meditation.
Isn't that lovely?
Thank you so much for being here and participating.
Much love to you and yours,
