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):
Hematology Panel $120 - which includes complete blood count, differential, iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. (No fasting required).
Comprehensive Panel $240 - "Hematology Panel" above, plus liver & kidney function, electrolytes, blood glucose, cholesterol, etc. (Fasting preferred). This is a great option if you haven't had any blood work down in a year or so.
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.

How My Body Finally Decided to Release Weight
“With 9 years of education and 15 years of clinical practice under my expanded belt, I knew what I needed to change but just couldn’t or wouldn’t.” - Tonia Winchester
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW!
Like to listen instead of read? Do that here:
In March (2021) I learned to take my coaching clients through a process called a Breakthrough.
As practicing students we both got to facilitate a breakthrough and receive one. Our teachers encouraged us to do a breakthrough in the area of career since we were training to be coaches.
I did just that even though a breakthrough can be in any life area such as personal growth, family, relationships, health and wellness, and even spirituality.
The process eliminates any neurological blocks from the past (or present) that are preventing you from reaching your goals. As a result, the nervous system calms down, the physiology balances, and it becomes really easy to make changes and build new healthy, sustainable habits.
Since My “Career” Breakthrough My Body Has Released
1522 3540 Pounds, Easily And Effortlessly.
Wait. Let me back up.
When I turned 35 I gained 35 pounds in 1 year. There was a lot of complex stress going on ( primarily in my clinic relationships / situations) and my body just packed it on. The stress continued for about 3 years and my body kept it on.
Even after I actively removed myself from the stressful environments and relationships, my precious body kept on the weight.
Until my breakthrough, it felt like I’d been fighting with myself, constantly in struggle.
With 9 years of education and 15 years of clinical practice under my expanded belt, I knew what I needed to change but just couldn’t or wouldn’t.
I didn’t need more information; I knew exactly WHAT to do.
But it’s not what you know. It’s what you DO, and I wasn’t doing what my body needed me to do.
Now, on the flipside of my breakthrough I realize that what I actually needed was transformation of how my unconscious mind viewed the world.
The breakthrough process works to recode the unconscious mind, and in my case this process allowed my body to be safe again to return to balance, and heal.
Even though the breakthrough had nothing to do with health. Interesting eh?
After my breakthrough I stopped eating dairy and sugar, and massively cut down on the amount of wheat I was eating. This has been the easiest change!
No stress. No struggle. NO cravings.
I’m excited and motivated to move my body – hiking, walking, dancing, HIIT workouts.
No fighting. No negotiating. NO willpower.
Just easy, new positive habits that are helping my body to release what it’s been holding on to for several years.
This is such an unexpected surprise! Powerful beyond measure is trusting my body again. Knowing that her and I are on the same page once more.
Want to hear or read more about how easy this was? Click here (once you're done reading this one ;) )
So imagine what it would be like to easily and effortlessly change your habits from ones that don’t serve you and your highest good to ones that are totally in alignment with who you want to be and what you want to experience.
What would be a delightful surprise that’s awaiting you on the other side of your transformational breakthrough?
A breakthrough is perfect for you if you find you’re saying, “I just can’t seem to do it or stick with anything long enough.” I know because it was for me.
If You’re Ready To Get Over Your Problem Habits And Behaviours Once And For All Then Consider A Breakthrough.
If you're ready to get of your problem habits and behaviors once and for all then ... YAY!! That's exactly what I do. I help people change their minds so they can change their habits, their health and their lives.
There are two simple ways to work together. First if you haven’t grab yourself a copy of Break Through The Insomnia Cycle.
BREAK THROUGH THE INSOMNIA CYCLE: HOW TO SLEEP DEEPLY, WAKE RESTED, AND ENJOY HAPPY, ENERGIZED DAYS
And if you already know that you want or need personal attention to release these old habits once and for all, then I invite you to book a discovery call with me or my team.
We’ll spend 30 minutes helping you get very clear on what your goals are and if the mind-body healing techniques I offer will be helpful for you. If it’s a match I might invite you to enroll in a breakthrough and I’ll provide the easiest way to do that when we chat.
I very much look forward to connecting and in the meantime...
🧠💗💫May you choose to make all your dreams come true!
