Practice Notes
What to Expect in Your First Consultation
A clear overview of your intake and next steps.
Why the First Visit Is Longer
The initial consultation is a deep intake. We explore symptoms, history, stress patterns, digestion, sleep, and emotional rhythms to build a full picture.
This detail allows us to select remedies that truly match your unique profile.
Step 1: Your Health Timeline
We map when symptoms began, what changed, and what has helped or worsened them. This timeline provides the context needed to understand the root pattern.
Expect questions about past illnesses, significant life transitions, and current stressors.
Step 2: Constitutional Assessment
Homeopathy looks at the whole person. We explore how you respond to stress, environment, and daily demands.
This helps identify the remedy that best aligns with your overall symptom picture.
Step 3: A Clear Care Plan
You leave with a plan, guidance for daily support, and a realistic timeline for follow-ups. We keep the plan practical so it fits your life.
If needed, we coordinate with other health professionals to ensure alignment.
Step 4: Follow-Up Support
Follow-ups allow us to track progress and adjust the plan based on your response. This keeps care responsive and grounded in real change.
Progress is often gradual and measurable across weeks or months, depending on the pattern.
How Virtual Visits Work
Virtual consultations are conducted by secure video call. You can join from anywhere in Alberta, including Calgary.
We recommend a quiet space and a few notes about your main concerns so the visit is smooth and focused.
What You Can Do Before the Visit
Bring a list of current concerns and any patterns you have noticed. If possible, note sleep changes, stress triggers, and any relevant history.
These details help us build a more accurate plan from the start.
- List key symptoms and timing
- Note recent changes in sleep or energy
- Bring any relevant health history
What Happens After the Visit
After the consultation you will receive your remedy and a simple care plan. We will outline what to watch for and when to follow up.
This keeps the process clear and reduces uncertainty about next steps. You will know exactly what comes next.
Questions to Bring to the Session
Many clients feel more confident when they bring a short list of questions. This helps you focus the visit and ensures you leave with clarity.
Consider asking about expected timelines, how to track progress, and what to do if symptoms change quickly. We are happy to clarify these points during the visit.
- What is a realistic timeline for my concern?
- How will I know the remedy is helping?
- When should I contact you between visits?
How We Measure Progress
Progress is tracked by changes in your daily experience, not just a single symptom. We look for steadier energy, improved sleep, and fewer disruptive episodes.
This helps us adjust the plan with precision rather than guesswork.
What a 90 Day Plan Can Look Like
In many cases, the first month focuses on establishing baseline changes and observing early shifts. The second month often emphasizes refinement as your body responds.
By the third month, many clients see more consistent patterns, which helps us confirm the direction of care or make informed adjustments.
This timeline is flexible and depends on the condition and your individual response.
Information That Helps Most
The most useful information is often simple: when symptoms started, how they change, and what tends to make them better or worse. This saves time and improves accuracy.
We also appreciate notes on sleep, energy, digestion, and stress because these patterns often guide the remedy choice.
You do not need perfect notes. Even a few clear observations can make the first consultation more effective.
Tech and Environment Checklist
A stable internet connection and a quiet space improve the flow of a virtual visit. If possible, use headphones to reduce background noise and keep your device on a steady surface.
We also recommend having water nearby and a simple list of questions so you can make the most of the session.
If children are part of the visit, try to plan a calm window or have another adult nearby. This helps the consultation stay focused while still observing the child’s natural behavior.
Care Boundaries and Expectations
Homeopathy is complementary and is designed to support your overall well being over time. It is not a replacement for urgent or emergency medical care.
We set clear expectations at the beginning so you know what care can address, how progress is tracked, and when medical care should be prioritized.
If you are working with other providers, we encourage transparency so your care remains coordinated and safe.
Scheduling and Follow-Up Cadence
Most clients schedule a follow-up within a few weeks to review response. Some conditions require closer monitoring, while others can be reviewed less frequently.
We keep scheduling flexible and aligned with your needs, especially for virtual visits.
