IMPORTANT NOTE on COVID (5/5/20)

With the Denver (and Jefferson county) stay-at-home orders expiring 5/8 and moving to safer-at-home, I will be reopening my clinic this Saturday, May 9th (see Denver Post article on 4/23/20).

I will be taking the following precautions:

1. I will be wearing a mask and gloves (changed for each patient) during sessions.
2. I am asking patients to please wear a mask to your appointment. Mask not required for those under 3 years old.
3. Please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible so that we do not have people lingering in the waiting area. This is to minimize spread and contamination.
4. I will NOT be using sheets on the table, but instead will use exam paper and a plastic pillow covered with paper.
5. I will be using disinfectant wipes on the exam table, vials used, Asyra handles, surfaces and door handles between patients.
6. I will be staggering appointment times to put a buffer in between patients. So please arrive as close to your appointment as possible to avoid overlap.
7. I will be running an air purifier to help recirculate the air. This not 100% effective to remove the virus, but it can help prevent further spread of the virus once inside the ionizer.
8. I will be taking your temperature when you come into the office, asking about symptoms and checking to make sure you are not running a fever (over 100).
9. I will ask you to either wash your hands or use hand sanitizer on your hands at the start of our visit. 

I will continue to do telemedicine sessions going forward as a permanent part of my practice. I feel this will help those that can be challenged to see me in person. 

I hope everyone stays healthy. See you soon!

What is Windsong Holistic Health all About?

Traditional medicine tends to focus mainly on symptoms of disease and generally works in specified areas of the body.  At Windsong Holistic Health, we take a whole body approach and strive to understand where the body is experiencing weakness, inflammation or stress. Once we can understand where the body is having difficulties, we can determine what support is needed or what  needs to be eliminated or cleared in order to restore health.

What does a holistic approach mean?

Main stream medicine tends to compartmentalize health by focusing on specialties and body systems. It is the rare physician that will look at all the issues a patient reports to try and determine what they can do to best address the body as a whole. One of my favorite authors, Dr. Mark Hyman says:

"The way modern medicine operates is like trying to diagnose what's wrong with your car by listening to the noises it makes instead of looking under the hood."

                                                                                                    Dr. Mark Hyman, MD

Through an extensive interview process and with the use of traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, we will determine the best treatment plan for you! This might include acupuncture, Chinese herbs, western herbs, homeopathic remedies, NAET allergy treatments, supplements as well as dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Patients start with a 30 day protocol with and receive a proposed treatment plan going forward.

I look forward to being your partner in heatlh,

Darlene
