1| Getting Started

What is ElectroDermal Screening (EDS)?

EDS is a non-invasive method of biofeedback testing that measures energy flow in the body using a hair and saliva sample or in-person assessment. It helps identify energetic imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms like fatigue, gut issues, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or toxin overload.

How do I begin the process?

You can order a Hair & Saliva Kit online. Once your completed kit is received, your results will be emailed to you and we’ll schedule a phone consultation to review your findings and suggested next steps. In-person appointments are available by request only and can be requested on our Services page.

Is in-person testing still available?

Yes—by request only. If you're interested in scheduling an in-person assessment, please visit our Services page to request. We’ll reach out to schedule based on availability.

Can you test children or babies?

Yes, absolutely. ElectroDermal Screening is safe and non-invasive, making it a great option for children and infants. For children under the age of 12, I offer testing exclusively through hair and saliva kits. This method is ideal because it doesn’t require sitting still or holding the testing device, which can be challenging for little ones. Parents often find this to be a gentle, convenient way to get personalized insight into their child’s health.

2| Hair & Saliva Kit Testing

How do I use the Hair & Saliva Kit?

You’ll receive instructions with your kit via mail, but here’s a quick overview: - Provide 5 strands of hair (colored is okay) or nail clippings - Get two cotton swabs saturated with saliva from the inside of your cheeks - Label your samples if ordering for more than one person - Return in the pre-addressed envelope provided Once received, allow 14 business days for processing. Your EDS results will be emailed to you before we connect by phone for a consultation.

How is this different from lab testing?

Unlike traditional bloodwork, EDS evaluates subtle energetic patterns and stressors in the body—often revealing root causes missed by standard lab panels. It’s gentle, highly personalized, and especially helpful for chronic or unexplained symptoms.

How long does the EDS assessment take?

ElectroDermal Screening (EDS) is a non-invasive technology that identifies imbalances in your body’s energy systems. Developed in the 1950s, EDS uses a small, painless current to measure energy flow through acupuncture meridians, providing valuable insights into your overall health. This method is ideal for uncovering root causes of symptoms like fatigue, inflammation, or digestive issues, allowing for personalized natural health solutions.​

3| Testing Options

Do I need to be retested more than once?

In most cases. Most clients test at least 3 times throughout their healing journey to uncover deeper layers of imbalance and adjust protocols based on progress. We recommend testing every year for health maintenance.

4| Healing Expectations

How long does it take to feel better?

Many clients notice improvements in energy, digestion, or mental clarity within the first protocol. However, true healing happens in layers. Deeper issues often take more time and commitment to surface and resolve.

Can I just buy one or two products to feel better?

While every product plays a role, true change usually comes from the recommended protocol that typically includes both detoxification and support. Most clients need a comprehensive approach to see meaningful, lasting results. Depending on severity of dis-ease, support may be recommended prior to starting a detox protocol.

Is this a quick fix?

No—and that’s a good thing. Natural healing supports the body’s own wisdom, which means it takes time, consistency, and patience. If you’re looking for a one-time fix, this may not be the best fit. But if you're ready to commit to the process, we’re honored to walk with you.

5| Remedies & Product Ordering

Can I purchase products directly from the website?

Yes! You can order many of our most commonly recommended remedies directly through the online store. Check out our products store.

Do I need an assessment to order products?

Not necessarily. Some products can be helpful for general wellness, but an EDS assessment provides the most accurate and customized protocol based on your body’s current needs.

At this time, we ship within the United States only.

6| Payments & Policies

What payment methods do you accept, and are services covered by insurance?

I accept cash, credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and Venmo. Please note that my services and products are not covered by traditional health insurance. However, many clients choose to use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for EDS assessments and wellness products.
