Your First Visit

When you come for your first evaluation, there will be nothing to  prepare for and nothing invasive.
I will ask questions and simply listen and interpret what is going on. I will do a naturopathic exam which involves pulse assessment and reflex strength. It is good to know your blood type for the first session.  If you don’t know we will figure it out.

Pulse Assessment

The Chinese doctors were great observers.  Over the centuries they were able to connect pulses on the wrist with the function of organs.  There are nine pulses on each wrist!  Each one reflects health or illness in an organ and its associated channels.

Reflex Strength

Areas on the skin can also reflect the health of the organs that share their nerve connections.  If we touch one of those reflexes we can pick up a weakness in the muscular system.  Here we are testing the arm for weakness.

Basic Naturopathic Medical Exam

Listening to lungs, examining ears, nose and throat.  Naturopathic doctors are trained to look at the “big picture” and factor in all information.  We want to understand what it happening and why it is happening.

Geno-Type and Blood Type Health Assessment

New work is being done to help determine body type and what nutritional diet is best for optimal health. Measurements of the body, blood type and saliva testing are used to determine this information, specific to each patient. I have incorporated this technique into my practice.
