Do you accept insurance?
While I am not in-network with any insurance companies, I can accept your insurance if it is eligible for visits through the third-party billing companies I use: Wildflower Health (Cigna).
**I am no longer accepting new patients through TLN.
If approved for insurance coverage, there will be a travel fee that applies to home visits (see below for more info).
Your plan needs to be approved on or before the day of our consultation (please allow 1-2 business days for your form to be processed).

My house is messy and I am in my pajamas!
Good! I LOVE knowing you are getting rest and not concerning yourself with cleaning for me!
Grab some breakfast and water, get in your comfiest clothes, and leave the laundry piles on the floor - I am here for all of it!
