Please note that the cost of remedies is not included in consultation fees.

• Information Session (15 min.)
  • This free session is intended to answer questions for anyone wishing to obtain more information before booking a constitutional consultation.
  • No charge

• Homeopathic Constitutional  Consultation
  • Standard (up to 2 hours)
  • This is the treatment of choice for:
    • chronic, recurring conditions such as Asthma, Depression, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Insomnia, Panic Attacks, Eating Disorders, Hypertension, Digestive Problems, Ulcerative Colitis, Allergies, Skin Problems, Migraines, Menstrual Disorders, PMS, Infertility, Pregnancy and related problems, and many more;
    • healthy individuals wishing to maintain equilibrium. Constitutional treatment strengthens the body and mind so that the person is better able to fend off disease and stressors.  Many people choose to have their constitutional case taken when they are well rather than wait until they are seriously ill.
    • enormous healing potential.  A true constitutional remedy chosen by a qualified homeopath acts deeply and curatively to stimulate the body’s own defenses rather than suppressing symptoms.
    • curing the totality of symptoms. Once your remedy is known, it can be used to treat the majority of your symptoms, whether you are suffering from migraines, fear of needles, food poisoning, fungus on your feet, or other ailments.
    • enhancing acute treatment when needed. Occasionally, an acute remedy is needed in addition to the constitutional remedy when a person is fighting off acute conditions. Having taken the constitutional case before the acute condition arises, your homeopath is able to prescribe a more effective acute remedy which is complementary to your constitutional remedy. A dose of the constitutional remedy followed by acute treatment further helps put the body back in balance.

• • This holistic approach incorporates all aspects of physical, emotional and mental health. It recognizes that pains and discomforts are symptoms of imbalance, whether it be a physical concern, the result an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise or too little sleep, or the result of one’s emotional, mental, or spiritual needs not being met. No aspect is overlooked in the constitutional consultation.
  • The initial consultation is followed by many hours of research as the homeopath undertakes to verify every single symptom that has come up during the consultation in homeopathic texts and different Materia Medicas. Thus, out of more than 4,000 natural remedies to choose from, only a handful remain that qualify as the most fitting, individualized medicines. The remedy that covers the totality of the patient’s symptoms at the time of consultation – your remedy – is then prescribed.Includes comprehensive consultation, examination and assessment according to the guidelines and principles of Classical Homeopathic Medicine by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
  • Includes a 15 min. return visit, generally scheduled in the following week, at which time the remedy is given and a treatment plan is discussed. This appointment gives both the patient the opportunity ask questions or provide additional information which he or she did not mention before, and the homeopath the chance to inquire about symptoms that verify the prescription given on that day.
  • The time span of up to two hours for this consultation is in line with the College of Homeopaths of Ontario’s recommended length of 1 to 1.5 hours for the initial visit.
  • $264.00
    

• Extended 3 Hour Consultation
  • You may choose this as an alternative to the 2 hour appointment. Treatment encompasses all aspects of the standard consultation, with the difference that this one is more in depth.
  • In the 3 hour extended consultation more time is spent probing your symptoms, allowing you to become increasingly aware of your individuality and how the mental, emotional and physical levels are all connected. Bringing the issues up close is in itself healing to many and in fact, most patients who come in for this consultation say that they feel so much better merely by sharing their history in an atmosphere where they are not rushed, not judged and not controlled. At the same time, your homeopath gains an even deeper understanding of your uniqueness, which helps in the remedy selection.
  • While Irene was trained in the 2 hour consultation, it was not until she had her own case taken in a three hour consultation by one of her teachers that she learned to appreciate this insightful approach. The result was that she received an excellent remedy, which no one else had prescribed for her previously. For this reason, up until 2016, the only offered constitutional consultation at K-W Homeopathic Medicine and Wellness Clinic was automatically three hours in length.
  • $396.00

• Constitutional Follow-up Visit
  
  • A thorough follow-up examination subsequent to the initial Constitutional Consultation is essential in order to gauge the action of the remedy and to stay on the healing path. While the patient commonly notices obvious changes in his or her well-being since taking the remedy, it is often the more subtle, overlooked changes which are perceived by the homeopath that determine the next course of action. This visit will focus specifically on the key symptoms identified during the initial consultation, noting any changes in bodily, emotional and mental well-being. The patient is asked to pay close attention to any apparent changes in signs and symptoms prior to this visit.
  • For best results, a minimum of 3 follow-up visits is recommended to fully stimulate the organism to the point where it is able to reverse unhealthy conditions on its own and bring the body back into balance.
  • A homeopathic check-up at least once every 6 months thereafter is highly recommended to maintain equilibrium.
  • Includes consultation, examination and assessment according to the guidelines and principles of Classical Homeopathic Medicine by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. The homeopath typically decides on a suitable follow-up treatment plan at the end of the visit.

Live Cell Microscopy 

• Live Cell Microscopy (1 hour, 15 min.)
  • Live Cell Microscopy provides immediate insight into an individual’s unique blood terrain. This analysis can provide otherwise unknown information about nutritional deficiencies, digestive imbalances, and create a tracking mechanism for how the internal terrain responds to external lifestyle changes.
  • Live blood analysis differs from traditional medical blood testing in which preserved blood is sent to a laboratory for an ”autopsy” and analyzed for chemical composition and cell counts. Live blood work involves magnifying a single living drop of blood , taken from a fingertip prick which is then viewed with a dark-field microscope that forwards the image to a television monitor. This way, both practitioner and patient can see the blood cells.
  • Warning signs of illness are determined through observing shape and functioning of red and white blood cells, platelets, and the presence of metabolic byproducts and pathogenic microorganisms. Live cell analysis thus acts as an educational ‘’feedback mechanism’’. It can motivate you to make lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, perhaps with the addition of nutritional supplements, or increasing physical activity or getting more sleep. It is ideal for clients who are proactive and prevention minded,
  • One “live” drop of blood provides an enormous amount of information about the state of the immune system, free radical damage, weaknesses, possible vitamin deficiencies, amount of toxicity, pH and mineral imbalance, areas of concern, parasitic, fungal and yeast infestations. The vitality of white blood cells can also be determined by observing the condition of the cell walls (smooth, ragged or leaking cytoplasm).
  • While diseases cannot actually be seen under a microscope and dark-field microscopy by itself can’t provide precise diagnoses, its ability to involve the patient in the healing process is of the greater value. Live blood analysis allows altered ”blood ecology” patterns to be observed. These patterns allow disease imbalances to occur over time and the idea is to modify and improve suboptimal patterns before serious trouble such as disease arises.
  • Most people need and want education, and dark-field microscopy is  a good way of providing that, because it’s not a readout of fixed numbers and graphs and so on. When you are shown pictures of what blood looks like in a state of optimal health and then see your own blood in real time on the video monitor, you can actually see the difference and this is a huge motivating factor in implementing changes. It is unbelievably exciting and empowering to see your cells working, moving and living. it is also rewarding to see response to nutritional changes, detoxification and life style changes.
  • We are very excited to offer dark-field microscopy as a new service at K-W Homeopathic Medicine and Wellness Clinic. We use it not to diagnose, but to educate and motivate you and show you the results as your treatment progresses

Wellness

Bach Flower Therapy

• Bach Flower Consultation (30 minutes)
  • Bring negative moods and emotions back into balance with your personal formula of English Wildflower Remedies. Being able to deal constructively with these negative feelings will open the path to new growth, evolvement, personal fulfillment and happiness.
  • This treatment is based on the guidelines and principles of the renowned British physician, bacteriologist, homeopath and researcher, Dr. Edward Bach, who believed that negative moods like jealousy, worry, fear and hopelessness, when left uncorrected, can compromise the immune system and lead to physical disease.  He discovered and developed the 38 English wildflower remedies, each of which address everyday negative moods and emotions, thereby helping to bring about emotional harmony and general well-being. According to Bach, the wildflower remedies work by flooding the negative emotional state with its opposite virtue. Thus, courage replaces fear, confidence supersedes self-doubt, love/ jealousy, etc.
  • The consultation will focus on areas such as fear, uncertainty and loneliness among others. Based on the areas that need special attention, a personalized English Wildflower Formula is prepared and given at the end of the consultation.
  • Bach Flower remedies are natural, safe, non-addictive and without side effects. They do not interfere with other medications, conventional or homeopathic, and may be used by adults, children and animals.
