My motivation behind ELEVATE

Are you struggling to make meaningful changes to your health and wellness despite your best efforts? You're not alone. 

Many people find that one-on-one care is valuable but doesn't provide enough time to cover all the important education needed to make lasting changes. That's why I created Elevate Your Health - a program designed to educate and empower individuals to take control of their health and wellness.

Elevate Your Health has been a vision of mine since before I started my naturopathic medical practice. 

I absolutely love one-on-one care - it has many benefits and is very valuable, but it also has limitations. Even though we have longer than average clinical appointments, there is still not enough time to cover all the education that I would like to with my patients. I always knew my patients could get results quicker if I could teach them more about the foundations of health and why building a strong foundation is so important, this was the added motivation I needed to bring my vision to life. I knew creating Elevate Your Health could bring this important information to a wider audience of people looking to improve their health without it costing them an arm and a leg. With over 20-hrs of education and action items to start creating the healthy habits to build this foundation, Elevate Your Health provides an opportunity for more people to truly elevate their health and wellness.

When I first started my practice, very early on I started to notice a common pattern with my patients. In the first visit I would gather their health history and all the necessary medical information, often times labs or other further investigation was required before we could identify and treat the root cause of their health concerns. During this time I would recommend some small nutritional and lifestyle changes to get them started in the right direction while we waited for more information. At the second visit I was repeatedly blown away by the progress that people achieved in such a short time by tweaking nutrition and lifestyle habits - Enter ELEVATE! 

As I said, I always knew that I wanted to create a group program but now I had my answer - an educational program that addresses all the foundations of optimal health - because no matter how intense or mild someone's health concerns are, the foundations are always important. A sturdy house is built on a strong foundation, if the foundation is crumbling it doesn’t matter how strong the rest of the house is, it is going to be in trouble. The thing I love about Elevate is that it focuses on educating and empowering the individual to take their health into their own hands, creating a healthy sustainable future. Elevate is not a quick fix, it is for people who are ready to put the time and energy into creating a healthier version of themselves. Another thing I noticed as I continued to work with patients, is that the patients who were really committed to the nutritional and lifestyle recommendations had the most significant outcomes. 

Originally my idea with Elevate was that it would be a program that current patients or patients on my waitlist could use before our first appointment so that they could begin to create those strong foundations before our initial visit and our one-to-one time could be optimally productive since they were already educated on the foundations. I still see this as a great option but it is not just for my patients - this education can be for anyone anywhere! I know how important and impactful this information is and I want as many people as possible to be able to access and benefit from this program!
