Wiser Medicine Virtual Services
One of the gifts of the pandemic has been to harness the convenience and personal touch of virtual visits. My Wiser Medicine services are on a virtual video visit.
Wiser Medicine Health Guide Consult, Adults
A Wiser Medicine free 30 minute consult starts with an introductory call to see if our ways of interacting are compatible. This is an opportunity to get to know each other. We talk about your goals for your health and for working with me. I will not be your primary care physician or your treating physician. This means you will have a provider to do your physicals, and provide prescriptions if needed. I love a team collaborative approach with you being the expert in You. I can guide you in self exploration exercises to help you get in touch with your inner Wisdom.
FOLLOW UP VISITS
Follow up visits will involve delving into the goals for your optimal health, and introducing more tools such as Guided Imagery, Meditation, Mindfulness, Movement, Acupressure, Journaling and many more. As a Certified Whole Health Medical Institute Practitioner, Dr. Farah may also utilize the Whole Health Cairn to explore all aspects of healing.
Examples of Wiser Medicine Health Guide Visits
You have been diagnosed with anxiety. You think the medication is helpful and have started seeing a therapist, but you want to explore other ways of dealing with your anxiety. You have tried a meditation app, but you couldn’t sit still long enough.
The Wiser approach would be to delve more deeply into how your anxiety acts in the body, and to teach you skills such as diaphragmatic breathing to directly improve those symptoms. I may ask you to look at what you are eating and drinking and make mindful changes. Movement may be brought in as a home prescription as well. In follow up visits we talk abut how you are feeling and how you have been able to carry out the suggestions.
You have high blood pressure and you want to avoid going on medication
The Wiser approach would begin with making sure your evaluation for hypertension is complete. Then we arrive at a plan that is led by your Wisdom of changes in movement, nutrition and stress.
Follow up visits 60 minutes
Wiser Medicine Health Guide Visit, Children & Families
In my 40 years as a family doctor and 17 years at Children’s MN Hospitals and Clinics, I have found Holistic, Integrative and Mind-Body Techniques to be very useful for children and families.
As described above, a free call can help determine your child’s needs and the role I can play guiding you into adjuncts for your child’s well being.
Also noted is that your child will continue to need a primary care physician for physicals and urgent health needs.
Typical issues I can assist with in addition to your primary physician and mental health provider are:
Anxiety
Insomnia
Mood issues
Pain
Chronic illness
45 minutes
Wiser Medicine Nutrition Counseling
Are you struggling with “what do I eat anyway?” when faced with choices like keto, gluten free, vegan and on and on.
The Wiser Medicine approach is to guide you mindfully to access your inner wisdom and intuition combined with the medical facts that help to shape you. You are more than your diagnosis! This is an approach based on appreciating what you can eat, as opposed to struggling to maintain a deprivation diet. This approach digs deeper to explore what food and eating means to you.

Wiser Guided Self Healing Sessions
Think back to March, 2020. Covid 19 was fast becoming a reality and I, like many other physicians, was forced to “Shivit”. Shivit is a word that came out of my mouth when I was describing that I had to shift and pivot, and the word shivit was born. Any non essential patient visits were shifted to virtual.
Many of my visits involved hands on CranioSacral. As I met with my patients on screen, I became more aware that I could sense energy despite the distance. This is an area of research that is continuing to be expanded. I guide my patients to use their own hands on areas of pain, as I allow healing energy to be transmitted through me to them. I consider myself a conduit. My patients continue to be surprised and thrilled with the results. I combine QiGong techniques as well as imagery, acupressure and breathwork.
Wiser Guided Self Healing Sessions start at 30 minutes, and longer are available, as well as group sessions, which harness the power of group energy.
Wiser Guided Self Healing Sessions:
30 mn
60 mn
Group- sign up with family and friends up to 6
Online, these sessions are designed to help balance and have a healing effect on various physical, mental, and emotional conditions.
“I lived through long term, life threatening Covid-19 in 2021 & then breast cancer. Dr. Kathy was part of my support team and helped guide me through the entire process. I am forever grateful for her support, wisdom & experience .”
