Payment Policy
Payment for services is required at the time of appointment for office clients or in advance for remote clients. Detailed receipts will be provided by email for all services and products purchased.
Visa, MasterCard, and Amex are accepted. Checks should be payable to Natural Healing Consultants.
Speak to Khabir about paying with Bitcoin.
Family Consultations
Many families find they share the same health challenges and/or wish to implement lifestyle changes as a family rather than face the challenges of a single member of the family making healthy changes while their family members don't. I am happy to consult with families and love to help each family member improve his or her health.
Cancellation Policy
Appointments missed or canceled with less than 24 hours notice will incur a charge of $50. Exceptions to this policy may be made for emergencies on a case-by-case basis.
Products
Unless specifically stated, teas, herbal formulas, supplements, spices, oils, and other products are not included in consulting fees or programs. We use the highest quality, ethically wildcrafted, pure, and organic herbs in our Ayurvedic herbal preparations and teas. * Herbal product costs: Generally, the formulas are $10 - $15 for a 2 oz. jar; $20 to $25 for a 4 oz. jar; and $35 or $40 for a 6 oz. glass jar of powdered herbs; $10 or $15 for a 2.5 oz. or 3.0 oz. bag of loose herbal tea blends, and $15 for 4 oz. of herbal oils. Prices are set based on the cost of the ingredients, not the weight. Herbal products may be shipped in plastic bags (with labels) instead of glass jars when needed. Unopened labeled products are refundable within 15 days of purchase except for "custom" made products.
Insurance
We do not bill insurance directly, but we will prepare a detailed bill you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if your insurance covers naturopathic or nutritional therapy visits. We do not bill Medicare.
Traditional HMO and PPO plans do not yet cover Ayurveda. This means we are an "out-of-pocket" expense. For many of us, the first step on our journey to wellness is to make our health a priority and one that we invest in.
