First visit
What to expect at your first visit
Your first visit takes 60 minutes and costs 3,500 SEK. We go through your health and your goals, and afterwards you get a written plan.
Before you arrive
Once you’ve booked, you fill in the health form. It takes 15–20 minutes and works on your phone, tablet or computer, in English or Swedish. At the end you download a completed PDF and email it to coraforstenwellness@gmail.com. The link is also in the welcome email you get when you book. If you’d rather fill it in at the clinic, come 15 minutes early.
- Bring any lab results or medical records you think are relevant.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Acupuncture often needs access to your arms, legs and back.
- Have a little something to eat beforehand. Acupuncture on an empty stomach can leave you feeling lightheaded.
Not sure what to book? Book a free 15-minute call on a Tuesday between 13:00 and 14:00, or email me.
During your visit: 60 minutes about you
We go through your health history and your current symptoms in detail. Then we look at your body’s systems one by one: digestion, diet, hormones, sleep, energy, mood, muscles and joints, and immune system. We often put together a timeline, so we can see how your symptoms developed. The aim is to understand what lies behind them.
If you bring lab results, we go through them and look for patterns, or whether more testing would help, for example hormone or stool tests. At the clinic I also do a physical exam. Then I tell you how I see your situation and what I recommend.
You always leave with something to start on: changes to diet and lifestyle, herbs, homeopathy, supplements or acupuncture.
Visits are in English or Swedish.
In person or online
The clinic is at Kommendörsgatan 9 in Östermalm, at street level with the entrance right on the corner of Grev Turegatan. No door code is needed. The nearest metro stations are Stadion and Östermalmstorg.
Online, we do the same in-depth review over video, at the same price. Food, herbs, lifestyle and lab results all translate well to video. Acupuncture happens at the clinic.
After your visit: your written plan
Within three days of your first visit, you get a written plan. It covers food, sleep and stress, and, if needed, herbs, supplements or lab tests through a private lab. You’ll also leave with a clear next step: a follow-up, a few changes to try at home, or lab work to do before we meet again.
Follow-ups: how often we meet
How often we meet depends on the method and on your situation.
- Naturopathy: the first follow-up is 2–4 weeks later, then every 4–6 weeks as needed.
- Acupuncture: often 1–3 visits 1–2 weeks apart, then about twice a month. Later, once a month is often enough.

Common questions
How long is a first visit with a naturopath?
With me, a first visit takes 60 minutes and costs 3,500 SEK including VAT. We go through your health history, your symptoms and your goals, and you get a written plan afterwards. You can come to the clinic at Kommendörsgatan 9 or meet me online, in English or Swedish.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Yourself, comfortable clothes, and any lab results or medical records you think are relevant, though nothing is required. You fill in the health form online before the visit, so we can spend the visit itself talking. Have a little something to eat beforehand, since acupuncture on an empty stomach can leave you lightheaded.
Can I have my first visit online?
Yes. Your first visit can be a video call, and the price is the same, 3,500 SEK. Food, herbs, lifestyle and going through lab results all work well over video. Acupuncture can't be done online, so that part happens at the clinic in Östermalm.
Do I need lab tests before my first visit?
No. Bring any results you already have, for example from your vårdcentral (local primary care clinic). If new tests would give us more to go on, we talk about which ones after the first visit. I use functional testing alongside conventional blood tests. Lab tests are paid separately, at the lab's price.
