Small business have a difficult time being able to afford a group plan through insurance or many are self insured. Being able to provide medical access to employees is a great benefit to offer. With signing up your small business you can offer your employees an affordable option for basic primary care needs. Employee members get the same benefits as my usual members do with increased access to affordable health care. With having increased access via text message and phone--and being open on Sundays, employees should be able to miss less work when ill or not take off of work to get an appointment. 

Contact me now and find out what membership entails. Fees can be structured however you want: business pays fees, employee pays fees, you can also include family as a benefit. 

$100 gift card for any referral of a small business sign up. You can even refer your own business! 

NOT an insurance plan. Membership fees are considered a post tax benefit unless you are self insured. 

Many of us would like to feel like we have hormones raging through us on a daily basis, especially today....but in reality many of us struggle with intimacy, performance and stamina. Others may experience fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, weight gain, anxiety, or depression. Maybe many of you already have difficulty with weight loss, heart disease, elevated cholesterol, diabetes or have family members with Alzheimer's, a history of stroke, cancer or many of the above. 

What are hormones? Hormones are a special messenger that sends messages to control most bodily functions. There are sex hormones, immune hormones, sleep hormones, stress hormones, growth hormones, cardiac associated hormones, digestive hormones, and Vitamin D (Yes, this is a hormone!). Hormones help to protect our body from inflammation and promote a healthy body and mind. They even protect us AGAINST certain diseases including cancer.

What is hormone imbalance?  While it is a normal part of aging, hormone balance is affected by the food we eat, exercising and the amount of stress we all have. Women start to have imbalance issues in their 20s and men in their 30s. I used to blame my brain fog and fatigue on being a mom and a night shift worker. I'll be finding out soon if instead I have a hormone imbalance....my best guess--while I am a female, my testosterone level might be below optimal. 

What are bio-identical hormones? When hormone imbalance causes so many issues why not boost our hormones in a natural way with bio-identical replacement. Bio-identical hormones are plant-based hormones that are biologically identical to the hormones found within the human body and not the synthetic hormones that confuse the body leading to more side effects--some very serious.

....for any family of two or more who register in the month of June!! Ask for more details. 

Month of July up until August 21st.: Sports physicals will be offered at $25 EACH instead of the typical $40.

Now that I am a month in I wanted to give shout outs to those that helped me get my clinic up and running and to those who have donated such wonderful art to display on my walls. I now have 11 members and the number continues to grow. So THANK YOU to those who have given a personal recommendation. 

First I want to thank my husband Kevin for being my "construction manager" I could not have made this happen without all his hard work and expertise as a tile setter. Quoin Installation of Tile and Stone is his new business although he has been in the tile industry for over a decade. His attention to detail and skill level would leave any homeowner or business owner pleased with installation of tile or stone--and I'm not just biased. www.quointile.com (pronounced like 'coin')

Levin & Michelle Clark helped me with my main sign out front. Made from a sheet of metal this provides a nice rustic look and was so easy to install. I'm really happy they are from La Conner so I could support a local family. I highly recommend them and the metal signs meet the towns requirements for signage. 

Image360 in Burlington did my window signs, street sign and Aframe. They are masterful in what services they provide and were able to help me with the logo I wanted and couldn't get access to from VistaPrint. I'll definitely be using their services again in the future when needed.  https://www.image360.com/burlingtonwa

Finally I would like to thank the local artists that have donated art that is available for purchase through them (I will upload photos soon). I'd like to thank Eve McCauley Chomiak for her wonderful canvas' and print art. I'd also like to thank a new local, Sarah Walls who is a photographer and puts her beautiful photography on canvas. 
--I still have some room left on my walls for any other local artists who would like to display. My hope is that I can have rotating wall art from local artists. 

We’ve has an exciting first month with 8 official members joining the practice. There are several more individuals and families interested so this is an exciting time. We’ve also prevented several urgent care visits and saved these patients hundreds of dollars.

I am am so thankful for the community support and interest in going beyond the standard. Direct pay and direct relationship with your provider is the future of medicine...or rather bringing it back.

Our next step is to begin ordering wholesale medications where I bring the savings directly to the patient with no intent on making a profit. This will add valued savings to what you might be currently paying out of pocket for your medications. ....stay tuned!!!

Kicking off the opening of my clinic with a friendly Open House. Come and go as you please and come learn about what the Direct Primary Care model of health care has to offer you and your loved ones or your small business. Low monthly membership makes primary care affordable and this innovative way to take care of your health needs will save you time, money and can lead to better health outcomes. 

I'll have flexible hours, be open on weekends and most holidays since you can't really plan illnesses or issues!!! I'll strive to be available whenever a member needs. I am looking forward to working for you and what you need rather than what your insurance wants!!

​I look forward to meeting you and answering your questions soon! 

I have a leased space in La Conner!!! It's an amazing location right next to the Pharmacy. The main parts of the renovation are underway with anticipated opening in EARLY APRIL. Stay tuned for a few Open House meet n greets and educational offerings. The open houses will be a great way to learn about the DPC model and how it can drastically improve your access to health care and improve health outcomes. 

Many local people I have spoken to are excited for this walk-in option for those last minute ailments or weekend illnesses that pop up at in convenient times of the day. Televisits are a great after hours option for many. Until then I am doing house call and televisits until I can get my doors open. 

I am looking forward to becoming your personal medical provider soon.
