Your first appointment will be 55 minutes. In this session, we’ll talk about your needs and make a plan together. We’ll usually give you some advice to get started right away. We’ll also let your GP—and anyone else you choose—know what we’ve discussed, so everyone supporting your health is on the same page.
After that, you’ll have follow-up appointments (25 or 55 minutes each), depending on your goals and needs.
If you need more than 10 appointments, we can talk about a discounted rate.
