What to Expect from the First Appointment

Before your first visit, you’ll receive detailed intake forms to complete online. These forms help Dr. Silva understand your health history, goals, and concerns ahead of time. To get the most out of your visit, please complete all forms at least 24 hours in advance so she can fully prepare.

If you’re coming for craniosacral therapy, the first session will begin with a brief explanation of what craniosacral therapy is and how it works. From there, you’ll get on the table for a hands-on assessment followed by a full treatment session.

If you’re booking a naturopathic medical intake, you’ll have 90 minutes with Dr. Silva to explore your health story in depth. She’ll ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, past experiences, and overall well-being to start uncovering the root causes of what you’re experiencing. She’ll also walk you through her initial thoughts, answer your questions, and recommend any appropriate testing.

Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a personalized, easy-to-follow treatment plan summarizing everything discussed in your visit. It will include Dr. Silva’s clinical impressions, lifestyle and nutrition suggestions, any recommended lab testing (with explanations), and a supplement plan—delivered via her online dispensary if needed.

Follow-up visits will be scheduled based on your unique needs and health goals.

Testimonials

“I started seeing Dr. Silva in April and am very happy with my experience. She gives you a complete plan of what you need to do, why you are doing it, how long you are doing it, and how to integrate your plan back into daily life. Lots of knowledge, gets back to you quickly. I loves the Instagram “classes” and the newsletter. Lots of great information to incorporate in my life.” – Patti

“Dr. Silva has been the only healthcare practitioner of any modality to truly help me address and improve my gut health after 8 years of trying through the standard medical system. She tested me more thoroughly and prescribed me a slow, effective course of supplements to kill off bad bacteria and support healthy gut bacteria, and although I still have foods that trigger me, I am on the whole much more stable and am now able to eat some foods I have had to avoid for years. In the long run, this was far less stressful, less expensive, less invasive, more effective, and more nurturing than the other health care avenues I tried. I am forever grateful!” – Jesse
