WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A CONSULTATION
An initial consultation is the first step in a recovery process. Botanicals, unlike pharmaceuticals, do not cure the illness in hours or days, but rather weeks or maybe months. Utilizing botanicals is really a lifestyle change. You are in charge of your health, your wellbeing. Recovery, when utilizing botanicals can be very subtle, what was painful yesterday is less so, or completely gone today. Consultations generally last one hour, sometimes longer.
