** ^^ This button will take you to calendar with the "Iron infusion consult and treatment" selected. This will ensure we have enough time to do both. Please only book this if you already have your blood work complete. (If you have your blood work already please email it ahead of time).
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.
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.

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.

““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.
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.

“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 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.
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.
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.
With these new filters, I’m finally seeing my breakthrough clients change their habits EASILY, and sustainably.
It’s profound, magical, amazing work.

I'm letting you know I'm here to help.
There are two simple ways to work together.

This is where you’ll release the painful imprints of the past and go back into healing mode, easily able to create new habits and positive results in your health and life, then book a discovery call with me or my team.
We’ll spend 30 minutes helping you get very clear on what loops you’re wanting to close and where you’re wanting to go. 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!
