Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Virginia takes a holistic and evidence-based approach to your health.
During an extensive initial consultation, Virginia will listen to your history to get to the root cause of your disorders.
These root causes are then addressed through changes to your diet and lifestyle, as well as the use of nutrients and herbs, to help rebalance your systems and encourage optimal well-being.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

While much of conventional medicine addresses the symptoms of disease, Functional Medicine aims to address the root causes of these problems.
Long-term conditions take a long time do to develop and the Functional Medicine approach needs time to reach the roots of your disorders.
Some relief may be apparent within weeks, however real, long-term healing often takes many months to see full results.
