This initial consultation is for those who are generally healthy and want an effective, customized Chinese herbal formula for a specific problem.

During this focused consultation, we will:

• briefly touch on your health history and focus on your current symptoms 
• decide if Chinese herbal medicine is likely to be effective for your condition  ‍
• if so, design a custom, Chinese herbal formula plan to resolve your symptoms layer by layer 

Chinese herbal formulas are modified as your symptoms resolve and shipped directly to you. Full resolution can require 3-4 months.

Examples of conditions appropriate to this level of care: digestive discomfort, sciatic pain, fibroid pain, endometriotic pain, menstrual pain, inflammatory pain, nerve pain, other types of pain, and symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and low testosterone, including insomnia, low mood, low energy, and fatigue. 

If you're dealing with debilitating symptoms, you need a multi-avenue approach.

During this initial consultation, we will:

• review the history of your symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments/medications
• decide if your symptoms are likely to resolve with Chinese herbal medicine and non-invasive, integrative therapies 
• if so, design an at-home, custom integrative therapeutics plan, including Chinese herbal medicine, specific to your needs 

Integrative therapeutics plans are stepwise and guided. Modifications are made as symptoms resolve. Expect to work together for 3-6 months.

Examples of conditions appropriate to this level of care: traumatic brain injury, chronic sinusitis, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, sequela of stroke, side effects of prednisone, long-COVID, and recurring symptoms of pain, inflammation, and fatigue.

Complex health picture? If you need guidance, this is the best place to start.

Dr. Marie will evaluate your health and potential for full recovery from comprehensive, systems-based, and multiple health perspectives.

During this initial consultation, we will:

• discuss the history, prognosis, and side-effects of your condition, including diagnoses, treatments, symptoms, and medications
• determine if there are clinical and research-backed reasons to believe non-invasive, integrative therapies and herbal medicines will help you 
• if so, design a customized, multi-level integrative health strategy for helping you achieve optimal health in conjunction with your conventional team

This appointment is an initial consultation and assessment. Your customized health strategy will not be a one-and-done solution because you are not in a one-and-done situation. Your integrative, multi-system, multi-avenue approach to restoring health will be both proactive and responsive, modified as you approach conventional treatment, undergo conventional treatment, your symptoms resolve, and side effects arise from the necessary pharmaceuticals and agents prescribed by your conventional team. Best results are not achieved by passive players. You must agree to be an active participant in your health to work with Dr. Marie at this level. We cannot accept everyone who wants her assistance. Expect to work with us for a minimum of 6 months for best results. 

Examples of conditions appropriate to this level of care: autoimmune conditions, Gu syndrome, and any condition requiring chemotherapy.
