Your first visit
A gentle, holistic approach
Your first experience with our practice will feel different from visiting a traditional healthcare practice. Here, we take a gentle, holistic approach focused on releasing past stored stress and trauma while rebooting your nervous system. The goal is simple yet profound: helping you adapt more effectively to life so you can truly thrive instead of merely survive.
People come to this work for a wide range of reasons — chronic pain and tension, anxiety and overwhelm, poor sleep, digestive issues, autoimmune flare-ups, burnout, and the kind of low-grade physical stress that doesn't show up clearly on a lab test but is very real in the body. Because the work addresses the nervous system directly, rather than one symptom at a time, many patients notice change in areas they didn't specifically come in for.
Each person's healing journey and their experience is unique, guided by the body's inner wisdom and timing. The body's natural healing process goes through phases we refer to as the Sacred Seasons in Network Care. Each season has distinct experiences and lessons that guide the healing process based upon the body-mind connection. The body-mind allows stored patterns of stress to be released as it is safe and appropriate for the individual.
What to Expect.
Before your visit
Once scheduled, you’ll receive a link to complete your intake forms online, making your first visit as smooth as possible. Come as you are—there’s nothing special you need to wear or bring.
Your First Two Visits
Your initial visit takes approximately one hour and includes a thorough consultation and health history, a complete examination, and a gentle exploratory session. This gives Dr. Rick the opportunity to understand your unique needs and begin the process of awakening the relationship between your body, mind, and spirit.
Your second visit, scheduled shortly after, takes about 30 minutes. During this follow-up, Dr. Rick presents his findings and recommendations, answers any questions you have, and collaborates with you to create a personalized care plan that feels right for you.
