First Appointment - Booking and Consultation Procedures

Booking

You can book your appointment by phone (416-573-8570) or by email (claralopez-amaya@sympatico.ca ).  Please inquire for a password to download forms at www.MyFamilyHomeopath.ca

Getting prepared for your Inital Consultation

Please go to the indicated tab on my website to gather the forms you will need as outlined below:

Under the tab, forms, find and fill out the intake form that is appropriate for your age group.  Once completed, email it to me (claralopez-amaya@sympatico.ca ) at least two days before your initial appointment.

Under the same tab, you will also find a consent form. Please fill out the form, print it, and bring a signed copy to your appointment.

If you have had blood tests done within the last 3 months, please ask your physician’s administrative office for a printed copy and bring it with you to your appointment.

Before your appointment, please keep a thorough record of all meals consumed for three days (you should include 2 weekdays in your records, and a Saturday or Sunday.) Specify times and main foods eaten, and be sure to bring your records at the time of your visit.  I am here to help, not to judge, so please be honest.

Please be on time.  You should arrive no later than 5 min after your scheduled appointment.

At your first visit, please announce yourself at the reception of Serenity and I will meet you in the reception area.  

Initial Consultation

The initial consultation takes approximately 1.5 hours for children, and 2 hours for adults. Sometimes 2 shorter appointments may be required. The reason for the lengthy consultation is that I will need to go through the intake form and any available lab tests; interview the individual in need of assistance and possibly a close family member; and collect information about symptoms at all levels, modalities of the symptoms, presenting new and old symptoms, likes, dislikes, diet, etc. Please try to be honest and open. I need to ask a lot of questions in order to discover what makes you unique, and find the remedy that will best start the healing process.

Getting your homeopathic prescription 

Usually a short appointment (15 min) is booked one week after the initial consultation to confirm the remedy selection, and pick up the prescribed remedy and dosage instructions.  

Follow-up appointment 

The first follow-up appointment (40-60 minutes) is usually booked three to four weeks after taking the remedy. At this appointment, I evaluate the effects of the remedy and decide the next steps to take in treating each individual case.
