For a long time, I worried that by not taking insurance at Antigravity Wellness, I was somehow limiting access to care.
What I've come to realize is that access to care means more than having someone else pay for your appointment.
Access also means having enough time to tell your story.
Access means having a provider who isn't rushing to the next room.
Access means being able to discuss your hormones, sleep, nutrition, stress, exercise, digestion, body composition, and long-term health goals in the same conversation.
Access means having direct communication with your provider, educational resources, accountability, and a personalized plan designed specifically for you.
Traditional insurance-based healthcare serves an important role, and there are incredible providers working within that system every day. But that system often requires shorter appointments, higher patient volume, and more administrative work behind the scenes.
At Antigravity Wellness, I chose a different model because I wanted the freedom to provide deeper, more comprehensive care. I wanted time to educate, coach, investigate root causes, and truly partner with my patients.
This approach isn't for everyone, and that's okay.
But for the women who want a more personalized, proactive, and comprehensive approach to their health, this model creates a different type of accessāone that often doesn't exist in traditional healthcare settings.
I don't believe I'm limiting access to care.
I believe I'm creating access to a level of care that would not otherwise exist.
