When your doctor says everything looks normal, start here

Fatigue, brain fog, pain, food reactions, poor sleep, hormone changes, and other symptoms may look unrelated on paper. Your story can help us see how the pieces fit together.

You may have a long list of symptoms, several folders of lab results, and more theories than answers.

You don't have to organize all of that before you come.

At Grace, we begin with enough time for you to tell the story as you understand it. What you feel. When it started. What changed. What you have tried. What helped, what didn't, and what you hope will be different.

Then we begin putting the clues in order together.

The puzzles I help solve...

  • Fatigue, poor stamina, or feeling depleted

  • Brain fog, focus changes, or feeling unlike yourself

  • Digestive symptoms and food reactions

  • Hormone, cycle, or midlife changes

  • Chronic pain, tension, or nervous system strain

  • Symptoms that seem unrelated or remain unexplained

You do not need to fit neatly into one category. In fact, most people do not.

How Grace Works

You get space to tell your whole story
We start with your experience, history, symptoms, goals, and prior testing.

We organize the clues
I look for patterns across your symptoms, labs, history, medications, nutrition, daily life, genetics, and environment. We may also look at sleep, stress load, nervous system patterns, and how your body responds under strain, especially when those factors seem connected to your symptoms.

Then we choose the next useful step
That may mean reviewing existing information more carefully, ordering targeted testing, adjusting a medication or supplement plan, supporting the nervous system, or simply changing the order in which we address things.

Build and refine the plan together
The plan should make sense for your body, your life, your goals, and your resources.

Virtual visits are available throughout South Carolina and North Carolina. In-person visits are available in Pickens, SC.

What your first visit includes

  • Up to two hours of dedicated time

  • Review of submitted records and labs

  • Time to tell the full story without being rushed

  • Discussion of possible patterns and priorities

  • A practical initial plan created with you

  • Clear decisions about whether any additional testing is worth doing

What ongoing care includes

Follow-up care is shaped around what you need. Sometimes we need time to step back, review new information, and look at the bigger picture. Other times, one focused question or adjustment may only need a brief check-in.

Regular follow-up visits allow enough time to review changes, new information, and your plan without rushing. For established patients, brief 15-minute virtual visits are also available when one focused issue doesn't require a full follow-up.

Pricing

Integrative visits: $400 per hour

Regular visits are billed in 15-minute increments, with a 30-minute minimum. Initial visits have up to two hours reserved, but you pay only for the time used.

Focused virtual check-ins: $100

Established patients may also schedule a 15-minute virtual visit for one focused question or adjustment when a regular follow-up isn't needed.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) cards are accepted, along with major credit and debit cards.

Grace does not bill insurance for services. Superbills are available upon request for patients who wish to submit them to their insurance company for possible reimbursement.

You don't have to solve the whole puzzle before you schedule.

Bring the story as you know it. We'll begin there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have a diagnosis before scheduling?

No. Many patients come because their symptoms do not yet fit neatly into a diagnosis. You do not need to solve the puzzle before the visit.

Do you accept insurance?

Grace is a direct-pay practice and does not bill insurance. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and superbills are available upon request.

What specialty testing do you use?

When testing is helpful and makes sense, Grace frequently uses the following tests:

- Genetic analysis

- DUTCH hormone testing

- GI-MAP stool analysis

- Organic Acids Test (OAT)

- MycoTox panels

- Neurotransmitter testing

- Other targeted functional labs

- And standard blood tests

Can Grace replace my primary care doctor?

No. Grace works alongside your established healthcare team and does not provide urgent care or routine primary care services.

Do I need to join a program or package to become a patient?

No. You can work with Grace through individual visits without joining a program or membership.

Grace also offers structured programs for people who want a more comprehensive experience over a defined period of time. Aging Gracefully, for example, brings together extended physician visits, laboratory and genetic information, group learning, and a personalized long-term plan.

You can choose the kind of care that makes the most sense for you.
