New Client Initial Consultation + Follow up + Comprehensive Labs
New Client Initial Consultation + Follow up + Comprehensive Labs
Consultations come in different options - please choose the option that suits you the best.
This option includes an initial consultation and follow up, plus a Comprehensive Lab Panel.
Your health is not just what you eat or how often you workout. Your health encompasses what you nourish your life with in every aspect that surrounds you. Everything is connected, so when it comes to regaining balance, all of it matters. All aspects of your life, your personality, your history, your genetics and your life story must be considered for a completely personalized approach- one that truly serves you.
An health consultation is your opportunity to evaluate these aspects and make some adjustments in order to preserve your health while regaining energy, restful sleep, assuring the intake of proper nutrients and choosing the right supplements to support you.
I will look over your lifestyle, your symptoms, your discomforts, and any concerns you may have while considering your complete life long health history. I require labs in order in an effort to be as thorough as possible. After our consultation, I will create a personalized protocol within a few days and build you a wellness plan to help you reach your health goals.
-The Initial Consultation is 90 min phone or video call appropriate for new clients, or if you are an existing client coming back after an extended period of time as well.
-The Follow up is a 45 min meeting 3-4 weeks after our initial consultation to review the protocol and make any necessary adjustments, as well as implement the second phase of your protocol.
-The Comprehensive Labs are drawn at a LabCorp draw center. I will email you a requisition form for you to take with you either virtually or printed. Please plan to go fasted and first thing in the morning to a draw center near you. Your lab results will be send directly to you, and we will discuss them in our initial consultation meeting.
What to expect:
A Metabolic Assessment
A Neurotransmitter Assessment and Brain Health forms

Lab Review
A Follow up 3-4 weeks after our initial consult
At the end of our initial meeting, you will have a protocol and a list of recommendations you can implement immediately, as well as a better idea of how to shift your lifestyle for the future. You will also have a deeper understanding of your labs and of what each marker means, and what it is telling us about your health currently.
The follow up consultation will serve to discuss how your initial adjustments went, and implement any next steps, protocols or supplement recommendations needed as well as discuss secondary factors that are important to your health.
While it is always preferred to meet in person, it is not necessary for me to be with you in person in order to put the patterns of your health puzzle together in order to help you. The telemedicine online option is a great alternative to meeting face to face as it saves travel time, zaps any overhead costs and allows us to meet from anywhere in the world. This consultation will be conducted on a web meeting via the Practice Better Patient portal or over the phone if you do not have access to a computer at the time of our meeting.
Please contact me with any questions, concerns or alternate accommodations.
Please book your appointment by adding a consult to your cart. You will need to fill my intake forms for us to review during our call. Print your forms, scan and email them back to me, or fill them out via Adobe.
Please note how if you prefer a telephone or video call, and the best way to reach you. I am available via FaceTime, Skype, Whatsapp, or Zoom.
Your initial intake forms can be found by logging to the Wellness By Helen portal. The portal page link is here or copy/paste this link: https://my.practicebetter.io/#/signin
Your lab requisition will be sent to the email you provide along with instructions for booking your appointment with LabCorp. Please print the requisition form and take it with you to your appointment. I ask that you book your appointment first thing in the morning before any food or drink so we may get fasted labs for you. Once your labs return, I will send them to you for your records, and we will discuss the findings during our meeting. I will provide notes for you on your labs along with your consult recommendations.

Please create an account if I have not yet created one for you and begin filling out your intake forms at your earliest convenience.
In the event that you need to cancel your initial consultation, please do so within 3 days of our scheduled meeting to avoid cancellation fees. I begin prepping for our meeting several days before we meet and these fees respect the time spent prepping for your consultation, reviewing your labs and researching any information I feel will benefit you and your health. Cancellations before the 3 day period will be reimbursed by half. In the event of a same day cancellation, no fees will be reimbursed though arrangements can be made to reschedule at a $50 fee. Consultations requested for cancellation before the 3 day period will be reimbursed fully.
Lab fees will not be reimbursed since I cannot cancel the lab order once I have placed it. You are able to keep your requisition and draw your labs at any time however since they are in your name and are not tied to me or to Wellness By Helen. Please be certain there is a LabCorp draw center near you before choosing this option.
