Private consultations with Dr. Michele

A closer look.
A plan of your own.

Sometimes you need space to tell the whole story, and someone who knows which questions to ask.

My focused consultations bring together your health history, relevant lab results, and the realities of your everyday life. We begin with the foundations, explore what may be contributing to your concerns, and build a thoughtful plan around your individual needs.

My general care waitlist is more than a year. I am taking focused appointment requests for Botanical Perimenopause Support, Chronic UTIs, Holistic Fertility Planning, Getting Off Birth Control, and Lab Education.

Private Consultation
& Custom Protocol

$1,55575 minutes directly with Dr. Michele Burklund

Your symptoms have a history. Your care should make room for it.

Before we meet, I review your health history and relevant existing lab results. We then spend 75 minutes together exploring your concerns, the patterns worth understanding, and what matters most to you.

After our consultation, I prepare your individual written protocol, with clear priorities and practical next steps. Following the naturopathic therapeutic order, we begin with nourishment, sleep, movement, stress, and your environment, then consider botanical, nutritional, and other clinical support and purposeful functional testing where appropriate.

The fee includes advance review, our consultation, and your custom written protocol. Lab tests, supplements, and follow up visits are additional.

Botanical Perimenopause Support

Understand what is changing.
Explore what supports you.

For women exploring botanical and other nonhormonal approaches to perimenopause. We look at changing cycles, sleep, mood, energy, and metabolism together, beginning with the foundations and considering nutritional, botanical, and other support according to your history and needs.

Chronic UTIs

When the same concern
keeps coming back.

Recurring infections and ongoing bladder symptoms deserve a careful look at the history behind them. We review previous urine cultures, treatments, symptom patterns, and potential contributing factors to distinguish documented infections from other causes of discomfort and guide an individualized plan.

Holistic Fertility Planning

A thoughtful beginning,
before the beginning.

For women preparing for pregnancy, thinking ahead, or seeking support while trying to conceive. We consider your cycles, health history, nourishment, medications, supplements, and existing results to guide a thoughtful preconception plan, with additional evaluation or coordination with your fertility care team when appropriate.

Getting Off Birth Control

Make the transition
with a plan.

For women considering a change in hormonal contraception who want to understand their cycles and the concerns that may have led them to start birth control. We consider your reasons for making a change, your reproductive goals, contraception needs, and the evaluation or support that may be appropriate as you plan the transition.

We agree on the existing results you would like to explore, including Function Health reports or DUTCH results, before we meet. Our 45 minutes together bring a naturopathic and functional medicine perspective to what the markers mean, the context that matters, and the questions to bring to your treating clinician.

Includes advance review of the agreed results and a brief written educational recap. The focus is understanding your results, including the questions they raise about prevention and longevity.

Before we meet

A few
helpful details.

Is a lab review the same as becoming a patient?

An educational lab review helps you understand your reports and the questions they raise. Private clinical care begins with a fuller intake and assessment, bringing your history, symptoms, medications, existing labs, and circumstances together before developing an individualized plan.

Do I need to order new labs first?

You do not need new testing simply to make an inquiry. For lab education, tell me whether you already have results available. In clinical care, additional testing is considered when it can help answer a relevant question.

Will you explain optimal lab values?

Yes. We can discuss the distinction between reference ranges, established clinical targets, and proposed optimal ranges. There is no single optimal range for every person and every marker. Results need context, and a report alone cannot establish a diagnosis or the cause of your symptoms. More on understanding lab results.

How are appointments arranged?

I am accepting focused appointment requests for the five areas listed above. Choose your focus on the appointment request form. General patient care has a waitlist of more than a year. I confirm clinical fit, location eligibility, availability, and the scope of your consultation before scheduling. Submitting a request does not reserve a time.

Do you take insurance?

I do not accept insurance. Consultations are self pay.

Can I use this request form for an active UTI?

This form is for planned care. Current urinary symptoms need prompt medical assessment. Fever, chills, vomiting, or pain in your back or side call for urgent evaluation. Read about kidney infection symptoms.
