Do you take insurance? What is the pricing structure?

  • 15 min Discovery Phone Call - FREE. Please email Dr. Felty to set this up at info@drfelty.com

  • First Time Consultation - $425

  • Follow Up Consultations - $350

What is the process? What can I expect?

Before the First Consultation - You will be invited to register for the online client portal called Charm. This is where you will fill out a new client intake form and consent forms at least 24 hours prior to your visit. You can upload and share any recent labs from the last 3-6 months in the Client portal in the Document's section (please be sure to click Share and then find Dr. Felty as your provider).

​

Initial (First) Consultation - Dr. Felty will review your symptoms, health history, lifestyle habits, mental health, emotional health, and all recent blood work to uncover answers and underlying reasons to your health concerns. She will then provide a custom health plan with personalized solutions to help you achieve your desired results. Dr. Felty's approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your symptoms and concerns. Solutions are tailored to your needs and vary such as meal plans, lifestyle habits, detox tools, custom supplement combinations, mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, spiritual guidance, and non-invasive therapies such as guided breathwork, gut hypnotherapy, sound bed therapy, and reiki healing. Advanced testing is available for microbiome imbalance/infections, food sensitivities, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, mold toxicity, heavy metals, inflammation, and more. All testing is typically paid out of pocket and ranges from $200-$500 per test. We will encourage you to get lab work done with your primary care provider whenever possible. 

 

Follow Up (Current Client) Consultation - One hour follow up consultations to discuss your health plan, track progress, provide coaching, breathwork, reiki, integration, and any ongoing support. With ongoing appointments, on-going client portal access for direct communication with Dr. Felty, receive the support and accountability you need to get the results you want.

​

Lab work is not required prior to your initial consultation. However, you are encouraged to bring or upload any recent lab results from the past 6 months.

​

If you prefer to complete comprehensive blood work ahead of your visit, you may order labs through a third-party service such as DirectLabs. Dr. Felty typically recommends starting with the panel titled “10 Most Important Tests.”

​

You may also request the following markers from your primary care provider:​

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Urinalysis (UA)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Vitamin D

What is a naturopathic doctor?

A naturopathic doctor is a practitioner who uses natural, evidence-informed approaches to support the body’s innate ability to heal and maintain balance. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, naturopathic care aims to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to illness.

​

This approach is guided by six core principles:

  • Support the body’s ability to heal by creating the right internal and external environment

  • Identify and address root causes rather than masking symptoms

  • First, do no harm by using the least invasive and most supportive therapies

  • Doctor as teacher — empowering patients through education and awareness

  • Treat the whole person, including mind, body, and lifestyle factors

  • Focus on prevention, supporting long-term health and resilience

Can Dr. Felty be my primary care provider?

Although Dr. Felty has training in primary care, she does not serve as a primary care provider. Naturopathic doctors are not currently licensed in the state of Indiana.

​

Dr. Felty does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, or replace the role of a licensed medical provider. Her services are educational and consultative in nature, with a focus on identifying potential root contributors to health concerns and supporting clients with personalized wellness strategies.

​

Clients are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with a licensed primary care physician (PCP) for medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. When appropriate, Dr. Felty will recommend coordination with your healthcare team and provide referrals to qualified providers.

Can Dr. Felty see my child?

Yes, Dr. Felty can educate you on ways to help your child's gut health, diet, immune system, behavior, and more. In addition, Dr. Felty will recommend that you also see a pediatrician or primary care provider for your child's wellness exams and medical care. 

How long do I have to see Dr. Felty for until I experience results?

This completely depends on your case, your health history, and your goals. Many people see Dr. Felty for a minimum of 6 months and then annually once they experience results. Results vary and are dependent on your consistency and commitment to your health plan.
