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.

IRON IV INFUSIONS
& ANEMIA POSTS:
Kinder. Stronger. Resourceful. Resilient.
"I know your hesitations. Your concerns. Your unkind thoughts. What’s keeping you up at night. They were keeping me up too. Those demons are gone now, banished without a trace, no longer lingering in the recesses of my unconscious mind, insidiously dragging me down." - Coach Tonia
What if your thoughts were kinder? What would they say?
Mine? Woof.
Woof. 4 years ago, the idea of a sweet thought was sour. I didn’t… couldn’t be considerate, patient, gentle…
Not with myself. Not with my precious people who were tip toeing around me on shattered hearts.
The truth is I was lost, far from myself. And I was losing the people and things that mattered most to me: my health and my relationships.
The strangest thing was, all I wanted to do was connect.
And because of the compounding cycle of restless nights, daytime exhaustion, and tanked stress tolerance…
I didn’t have any reserves left to engage with the people I cared about in a meaningful way.
Thankfully for them and me, I sought and studied until I found a solution.
It’s simple. Swift. Sustainable.
Now I wake rested, excited to start the day.
✅My habits are different. Better. Incredibly consistent.
🧠My thoughts are different. Kinder. Stronger. Resourceful. Resilient.
💗My feelings are different. Happier. Easier. Gentler.
💪My body is different. Leaner. Calmer. More vitalized.
🤝My relationships are different. More supportive. Connected. Deeper. Dreamy.
Importantly the process I discovered showed me how to smile again. And I can show you too.
This doesn’t require medications or talk therapy, or even dreadful meditation sessions where your mind is supposed to be quiet but is flying all over the place, bouncing from task to task like a wild squirrel being chased by a dog. It’s hardly relaxing.
What you can relax into is the process I take my clients through. It’s called a Brain-Based Breakthrough and I know first hand how effective it is because I’ve been through it three times as a client. I’m a transformation coach walking my talk.
My fellow heart-lead human, I’m a few steps ahead of you on this journey.
I know the willingness to change and focus that’s required and I know what obstacles you’re facing on this side of your transformation. Because I.have.been.there.
I know your hesitations. Your concerns. Your unkind thoughts. What’s keeping you up at night. They were keeping me up too. Those demons are gone now, banished without a trace, no longer lingering in the recesses of my unconscious mind, insidiously dragging me down.
In their place is peace, motivation, excitement, connection, and the desire and ability to smile. Hardwired in.
While, for a number of reasons, you might be on the fence about taking a your next step... I know you’re wondering… aren’t these people and your well-being worth fighting for? Aren’t you worth it?
I'm looking for people who are wanting to smile again. It's simple thing I'm seeking. If that's you then lets connect. There are two simple ways to work together.
1️⃣First if you haven’t yet 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
2️⃣I invite you to book a discovery call with me or my team.
Sooooo.... if you're the type of person who is sick of stressful thoughts and worries, feeling stuck in your health and life (you know the pattern - taking 1 step forwards and going 3 back) then maybe you know you're looking and really ready to reestablish kindness, strength, resourcefulness, resilience, and even a smile or two, and wanting some personal help to do just that... then book a discovery call with me or my team. Simply:
