Your personal health detective
Finally a healthcare professional that will listen to your whole story
Time Devoted to You
While I often consult on “standard” functional health cases (leaky gut, adrenal health, hormone balance), what makes me different from other practitioners is my willingness to take “whatever time is needed” to look at all the data in complex, chronic, mystery cases, connect the dots and help navigate resources.
Pricing and Fee Structure
Taking "whatever time is needed" means that Dr. Becky charges by time spent. Prices below are for the most common appointment times. First visit is 90 minutes minimum and can be extended up to 3 hours if needed on complex cases. Follow up visits are 1 hour standard, but can be adapted (shorter or longer) to meet your needs.
Late cancel/no-show policy
Because Dr. Becky invests so much time in preparing for your visits, and because we are reserving that time slot specifically for you, we request that you give a minimum of 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or re-schedule a visit so that we have the opportunity to schedule someone else in that spot and Dr. Becky will have time to prepare. We reserve the right to charge 50% of the visit fee for cancellations 24-48 hours before your visit. Same day cancellations or failure to show up for a scheduled appointment (no show / no call) may incur up to 100% of the visit fee, at the doctor's discretion. We know life happens, and mitigating circumstances will always be considered. We ask that you at least let us know what has happened so we know you are OK.

Research Time
Research time is available for people who need Dr. Becky to do a unique-to-them deep dive into labs, genomics, the medical literature, a particular product, etc. Research projects will come with a write up of findings.
Some clients with complex, chronic illness will have hundreds of lab and imaging studies from previous practitioners. Dr. Becky prefers to review existing tests before ordering more. In rare cases we may request that you purchase Research Time to cover this deep dive. This allows us to keep baseline prices affordable and still be available for people who need extra time.
Acupuncture and Bodywork
Acupuncture and/or Bodywork can be included in any naturopathic visit (assuming there is adequate time booked) for no additional charge. These are included in the comprehensive "whole body" care that Dr. Becky offers.
The vast majority of patients have issues that would benefit most from a combination of naturopathic and acupuncture care. For this reason we strongly encourage full naturopathic first visits to make sure all of your needs are being addressed.
Sometimes it can be helpful to do a series of treatments focused on Acupuncture or Bodywork. Dr. Becky offers shorter, discounted visits for Acupuncture only. These visits will include a very short, focused interview and your treatment time.
These visits may include up to 15 minutes of bodywork.
"Acupuncture Only" visits will NOT include: review of labs, discussion of supplement protocols or other aspects of your case.
