If you are a NEW patient: Please choose an appointment marked NEW PATIENT (i.e. a Free Initial Consultation, or Initial Intake).

Follow-up appointments can be with any Hillgreen practitioner: You can book follow-ups with ANY practitioner and ANY location of your choosing, without doing another Initial Intake appointment.

If you’d like to work with Pauline: Book your initial consultation with her virtually (on the Warkworth location calendar). If you live in the Greater Toronto Area and need acupuncture, your treatment plan may involve virtual herbal follow-ups with Pauline, and acupuncture appointments with a colleague at Midtown/Vaughan as needed.

For virtual Free Initial Consultations or other Phone/Online appointments: You may look under ANY location calendar (as the appointment is virtual).

*Chinese herbal medicine is an ancient art of combining medicinal herbs into a custom prescription for each patient. The combinations strengthen the desired effects of the herbs, while minimizing side effects. We typically use between 8 and 18 herbs in each formula. Herbs come in their dried form for boiling at home, or in granules, tablets, capsules, tinctures, washes, soaks and more for easy consumption. We always take into account what other herbs, supplements and medications you are on for safety reasons.
