The approach is multifaceted.

Your initial consultation is comprehensive. You will be assessed in the context of Western allopathic and traditional Chinese diagnostic models, including attention to nutrition and lifestyle.

Assessment reaches beyond current physical complaints to include in-depth dietary, environmental and psychosocial history. Dr. Cooke’s intent is to identify root causes of disease, to aid prevention, to minimize or reverse disease progression and to offer comfort where disease exists. Breathing and meditative techniques, hypnosis, as well as other mind-body approaches, may also be recommended.

Your treatment plan engages your active participation in lifestyle changes toward your renewed health and vitality.
