Stay safe. Please review and follow our Covid19 safety procedures here.
New Patient Visit
90 minutes: $265
In your first visit with Dr. Andrews, your concerns, goals, and beliefs about your health will be discussed and used to create a roadmap for your healing. Your current health status will be evaluated through an in-depth medical history, focused physical exam, energy assessment, and discussion of your diet, exercise, life-style, and emotional well-being. Supplements, medications, current diagnosis, and current medical treatments will also be reviewed. Necessary diagnostics tests will be ordered, such as blood work, imaging studies, food sensitivity testing, stool analysis, heavy metal testing, nutritional assessment, thermography, and more.
Your first session is primarily information gathering and assessment. Preliminary suggestions will be made for immediate action; however, the full treatment plan is developed in the second session.
When you come for your first visit, please bring the New Patient Visit Forms (see below), filled out and signed, as well as recent lab work, imaging results, and medical studies and any health files you keep.
​
We look forward to working with you!

Second Visit Action Plan
45-90 minutes: $100-150
In the second visit, Dr. Andrews will explain your test results and create a specific treatment plan that includes attention to diet, exercise, supplements, and additional modalities. The plan will integrate with your additional medical providers. Referrals for physical therapy or other treatments will be made as needed.
If you are interested, this visit will also include a plan for Neuroplastic Facilitation based on brain research on your mind's ability to heal your body. This approach is a learning adventure that stimulates your personal growth and support your body’s natural ability to heal.
You will leave techniques to maintain your healing progress at home.

Adjunct Treatments
Acupuncture
Short Session 40 minutes: $85
Long Session 75 minutes $130
For Naturopathic patients only
An acupuncture session begins with an energy diagnoses to discern the pattern of disharmony underlying your physical and emotional symptoms. Very thin needles are inserted into points on energy pathways called meridians to restore balance. Acupuncture treatments are rarely painful. Needles are used once and then disposed of in biohazard containers. Sessions are deeply relaxing, stimulate healing, reduce pain and decrease stress. Dr. Andrews often combines acupuncture with these additional modalities (which can also be used alone):
-
Myofascial Release: Hands on treatment that softens and unwinds restrictions in the fascia which contribute to pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Fascia is released through slow stretching, lifting, and separating of structures.
-
Visceral Manipulation: Gentle, hands-on therapy to organs with adhesions or restriction in order to normalize natural organ movement and function.
-
Lymph Drainage: A light, gentle massage with circular, pumping movements that encourages the flow of lymphatic fluid.
Neuroplastic Facilitation
Open to people who are not naturopathic patients
Initial visit: 75 minutes: $150
Follow up visit- 60 minutes $115
Neuroplasticity is the groundbreaking study of the brain’s ability to restructure itself, promote neurogenesis (the creation of new brain cells), and restore health through creating new neurocircuitry. Nine principles have been identified that instruct the brain to change its structure and function. Inspired by seminars with Lauryn Maloney-Gepfert, founder of the Neuroplastic Functional Institute (nfiheals.com), Dr. Andrews incorporates the principles of neuroplasticity with energy balancing to create new health circuits in your brain and activate your innate healing potential. You will leave with a practice to continue at home.

Energy Balancing:
Awaken your Energy Awareness
60 minutes $150
Open to people who are not naturopathic patients
Energy awareness empowers your connection with your inner wisdom and authentic self. With awareness, you’re better able to ground, center, hold boundaries, and maintain your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health. Sessions address unresolved emotions and limiting beliefs within energy imbalances with the goal of increasing meaning, creativity,, and health. In a session, you are fully clothed, lying face up on a massage table. Sessions are often combined with Neuroplastic Facilitation and may incorporate one or more of the following modalities:
-
Acupressure: finger pressure, rather than needles, is applied to points on meridians that stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities.
-
Chakra Balancing: Chakras are energy centers in the body responsible for maintaining balance between our internal spirit and the external world. They also guide soul development.
-
Reiki: A Japanese technique that increases the flow of energy to augment the body’s natural healing abilities.
-
Sound Healing: Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration and has a signature frequency including organs, tissues, body structures, thoughts and emotions. Sound therapy restores harmony to the body through a process called entrainment.
