As times have changed, Our practice Model has also changed from a once Community room centric treatments space where many share the same space, which allowed for 10+ sleepers in the same room. Today, we have changed towards the traditional western model where each patient has their own private room for the safety and serenity of each of individual treatment.

FM consultations involve looking at your life history from in utero up to present day. We will examine all variables that have contributed to your current condition, that you are struggling with, to eliminate triggers that maintain the current internal imbalances and to develop & introduce a new health plan/strategy that will get your body functionally restored and back in balance to it’s optimal state. If you are serious about the FMC, we ask that you please be ready to commit to a health care program that is uniquely developed & designed for your body. This program is very difficult because it involves changes that many are not familiar to. Factors that we may most likely consider in this program are dietary changes (Elimination Diet). FM Labs (beyond your standard medical labs, which will be required as a preliminary step) that show internal imbalances that need addressing, that your standard Labs are not showing. Supplements (if not supported in your diet) may be introduced, initially to help get your body back on track. At the end of the program, we want you to walk away feeling great with new strategies that will support your future health, such as a new dietary plan that supports everything your body needs and maybe even a new exercise plan that keeps your body happy.
