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.

HAPPY BODIES. HAPPY PEOPLE.

Self Care Eating Broccoli

Why You're Not Taking Care Of Yourself

January 23, 20234 min read

““I have never had new habits be so easy to do – it is just happening, without me having to remind myself to do it or realizing that I didn’t do it and that I have to somehow remember… just wanted to celebrate!” - Sophia F.

(Adapted) TRANSCRIPT:

My favorite way of working with people is actually about changing their habits and doing that in a way that’s sustainable and easy.

I do that by helping people change and reprogram:

  • unconscious mind

  • what their unconscious mind believes

  • how it filters their ability to take care of themselves.

I’ve been in naturopathic practice for 15 years and a few years back I was finding myself very dissatisfied in my practice because patients would come back to me and say, “Eating my broccoli is hard.”

Now, you and I both know that eating broccoli is not hard. It’s probably one of the easiest foods to eat once it’s cooked.

I Was So Fascinated By This.

“Eating broccoli,” by the way is a metaphor for whatever the thing is that you need or WANT to be doing to taking care of yourself. That could be literally eating the broccoli, or it could be getting exercise, adequate and restorative rest, setting the boundaries, following your heart, _____ fill in your response here ____, could it not?

Why do people have so much trouble taking care of themselves?

I became fascinated (who’s kidding who, obsessed) with that moment that we decide to show up to take care of ourselves every day, doing what’s best for ourselves.

This moment in human psychology is so exciting for me.

I Started Looking For A Tool That Would Help Me Help People Unlock That Block To Self-Care.

I explored spiritual systems and support structures and even created a program called the Path to Peace to help people understand themselves at soul level in an attempt to encourage self care.

Interestingly, what I found with that work was that it was still too conscious.

It was too intellectual, and involved too much thinking. Most people don’t know that all change, learning, healing and habits happen at the level of the unconscious mind. This work didn’t get to that place.

The Awareness Of One’s Spiritual Path, Wasn’t Enough For Them To Be On The Path. Darn.

I kept seeking, always looking for the most resourceful and perfect solution. And by golly I’ve found it in a surprising place! ??⭐


When I signed up for the Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner course I thought it would just help me become a better marketer.

My thought process was, “I’ll just help people understand how they can benefit from my offerings and therefore bingo, bango, bongo, they will opt into the offerings.”

I didn’t realize that I was going to fall in love with the actual practice of this work. It has the potential and power to transform how we see the world, how we see ourselves, and how we see ourselves in the world.

Maybe It’s Hard To “Eat The Broccoli” Because The Block To Self-Care Is Actually A Belief About Worth, Value, Or Deserving.

Have you ever considered that?

With these contemporary neurological reprograming tools tools I can get to the place where that belief lives in people’s unconscious mind and literally change it so that it is more self-affirming, self loving, and self-accepting.

This Mind-Body (Brain-Based) Healing and Coaching Work Gives Us New Filters.

With these new filters, I’m finally seeing my breakthrough clients change their habits EASILY, and sustainably.

It’s profound, magical, amazing work.


And that’s exactly what I do. I help people clear old filters and gain new ones so they can take care of themselves in a way that lights them up.

Breakthrough Burnout and Create Happy Energized Days

I'm letting you know I'm here to help.

There are two simple ways to work together.

1️⃣FIRST if you haven’t grab yourself a copy of:

What is a brain-based transformation breakthrough
