Everyone who's ever been to a doctor knows that most doctors are in a hurry. Often running behind and rushed, it's difficult to feel heard and understood when you're given just a few moments to explain how you feel. Then, you're given a prescription that addresses your symptoms but often fails to get to the "why" of your illness and discomfort.

Continuum Healing, on the other hand, values connection and seeks to bring health and wholeness back into your life starting with our initial interaction. Instead of being another client rushed through, your concerns are heard. Because of this foundational difference, you should expect to spend around 1.5-2 hrs with Micah for your initial appointment. During this consultation you will have plenty of time to share your concerns and your own understanding of what's happening within your body. Naturopathy treats the whole person, not an illness, so your thoughts and concerns are of importance at Continuum Healing.

Along with hearing your thoughts and concerns, Micah will do a complete consultation of your health. The consultation will include muscle response testing, iridology/sclerology, glandular typing, and fingernail/tongue/facial analysis. All of these tools seek to discover the underlying strengths and weaknesses within your system. It's important to remember that Naturopathy operates by the truth that all things are connected and intertwined; so, while stress at work and an upset stomach may seem like two separate, independent issues, we may discover that the two are directly connected.

Once Micah has a better understanding of your overall health, he will design a program specific to your needs, helping you to regain balance and continue your journey toward health and wholeness. These programs often include diet changes, exercise, herbal treatments, homeopathic remedies, allergy corrections, cleanses, essential oils, and emotional work. While some Natural Health Practitioners send people out the door with bags of supplements, Micah believes that healing comes from right food choices, avoiding toxic substances, and emotional health. Supplements are used as a means to help bring the body back into balance while we learn to live, eat, and love well.

After your initial appointment a follow-up consultation will be scheduled anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months out, depending on your specific needs. These appointments usually last about 45 minutes to one hour long. Some clients also continue other therapies to quicken and improve their healing process. We have found success working with clients dealing with a wide range of symptoms including: digestive disturbances, allergies, candida/fungal overgrowth, anxiety, depression, heavy metal poisoning, and lowered immune systems.

Continuum Healing asks that you arrive 5-10 minutes early for your initial consultation to fill out paperwork. Please bring with you any medication or supplements that you are currently taking. If you know, or are able to find out, your blood type, this can be very helpful. Otherwise, if you would like, Blood-typing Kits are available at Continuum Healing and Micah can find out this information during your consultation.
