Yes. Nutritional and lifestyle counseling are central to Richard’s consultations. A session may examine food, sleep, movement, stress, and daily routines in relation to the problem or question you bring. The aim is to identify practical changes suited to your circumstances, not to hand you a generic plan. Shortly after the appointment, you will receive Richard’s recommendations for nutritional and herbal supplements through Fullscript. Ordering is optional. If you order through Richard’s Fullscript dispensary, you receive 15% off your first order and 10% off later orders (Richard receives compensation from these purchases).

People come with questions about physical or emotional well-being, trauma, recurring patterns, consciousness, spiritual practice, plant medicine, or preparation for and integration after a retreat or ceremony. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a polished explanation. Begin with what is happening and what you want help understanding.

Richard listens, asks questions, and helps you look closely at the situation you bring. He will review any laboratory results or other diagnostic tests you provide. Any recommended laboratory testing is optional, cash-pay, and priced before you order. When appropriate, Richard can order testing through Fullscript. He may also draw on his clinical background, his study of trauma and consciousness, and decades of work with patients. The session is a conversation shaped by what you need, not a fixed program.

Choose a First Visit Consultation if you are new or have not consulted with Richard in more than a year. Follow-up consultations are for returning patients; Richard will tell you whether 30 or 60 minutes is appropriate. The 15 Minute Introduction is for one specific question. In Depth Work provides two hours when more time is needed.

The complimentary pre-retreat introductory meeting is a first conversation before deciding whether further preparation is appropriate. A complimentary post-retreat support conversation is available if you need assistance after a retreat or ceremony.

No. Heart Feather does not provide emergency or crisis services. If you may be in immediate danger or need urgent medical or mental health care, contact local emergency services or your physician or mental-health professional.

Sessions take place on Zoom. Choose a private place with a reliable internet connection and allow a few minutes beforehand to settle in. The booking page offers appointments up to three calendar months ahead and shows times in your device’s time zone. Your confirmation will contain the meeting information.

A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available for people who could not otherwise afford a consultation. Before booking, use the contact form, enter “Reduced-fee consultation” in the subject line, and say which session you are interested in.

Heart Feather does not bill insurance. Consultations are self-pay. When online booking is available, Stripe collects payment for paid appointments, and the appointment is confirmed after payment succeeds. New First Visit clients receive a consultation intake form; people scheduling a pre-retreat introductory meeting receive the retreat application.

Please contact Richard at least 24 hours before the appointment if you need to reschedule or cancel. Cancellations with at least 24 hours’ notice receive a refund. Contact messages and intake information are stored separately from payment-card information, and Heart Feather does not store full card numbers. Read the Privacy Policy for more detail.

The first 15 minutes of your initial consultation are used to determine whether Richard’s services are appropriate for your needs. If either you or Richard decides during that time not to proceed, the session will end and your consultation fee will be refunded in full.

This policy applies once, to a new patient’s first consultation. It cannot be requested after the consultation continues beyond the first 15 minutes and does not apply to dissatisfaction with recommendations, treatment results, or outcomes, which cannot be guaranteed.
