How It Works
Our Unique Approach
Dedicated to improving as many lives as possible
Do you feel like you are missing out on life because of a lack of energy or not feeling well? Are you concerned about taking more and more medications as you get older, wondering if you’re merely wasting time & money on tactics that haven’t worked so far?
Well, you’re not alone.
At Rising Tide Wellness, we take a completely different approach to addressing and managing your symptoms that have likely been ignored or dismissed in the past. It’s less about medicating symptoms and more about finding out why you have the symptoms in the first place. We want to give you the tools to get back on track towards vibrant health & well-being.
How it Works
Every client’s situation is different. We want to meet you right where you are and seek to rapidly reduce the severity of your symptoms. We plan to offer you a personalized treatment plan to empower you to learn more about your body and meet goals you have set for yourself so you are able to enjoy the things you love to do.
Free Webinar or Seminar
We invite anyone who is interested to attend a free live webinar to learn more about what we do, why we do it, and if this might be the best next step for you. At this presentation, you will learn why you are stuck and how health myths and wrong health information keeps you from breaking free from chronic illness.
Discovery Call
Next, if you feel like this is the right approach for you, you’ll schedule a FREE 15-minute discovery call with one of our experienced team members to see if we can help you.
Complete Wellness Evaluation
Next, you will schedule a Complete Wellness Evaluation to discuss our approach, your goals, expectations and opportunities for success while working with our team. Our collaborative care approach focuses on healing the imbalances that are the true cause of your symptoms. We want to make sure we are the right fit to work together and that you are ready to make the necessary lifestyle changes to achieve wellness. We want you to have the tools to be the “rising tide that lifts all boats!”

What are the restrictions on virtual visits in SC?
In order to be a client receiving medical care at our practice, you MUST live in South Carolina. You may participate in our wellness programs and work with our health coaches without receiving medical care if you are outside the state of South Carolina.
Can you be my primary care provider?
In order to be a medical patient with Rising Tide Wellness, you need to have a primary care provider you see in person at least once per year (this can be a gynecologist). Rising Tide Wellness can NOT take the place of your Primary Care Provider. We are happy to make recommendations for you.
We do not fulfill an insurance company’s requirement for an in network primary care physician as we are not in-network with any insurance plans.
We do not have a 24-hour answering service and do not take calls on weekends. If you need to be seen urgently or have a medical emergency you would need to visit an ER or urgent care center.
Do you bill insurance?
The cost of any services provided by Rising Tide Wellness which are not included in your membership/package fee will be billed to you directly.
Some prescription medications prescribed by Rising Tide Wellness may be covered by a member’s health insurance plan per that plan’s rules.
Rising Tide Wellness will not submit a medical claim to insurance on your behalf. We cannot assist you with claim resolution for our services.
We will provide you with a detailed billing summary that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement, but make no guarantee that they will be reimbursed. There may be procedures or lab tests that are not covered depending on your plan’s rules.
How does lab testing work in a virtual practice?
Rising Tide Wellness works with lab companies that have multiple draw site locations for labs. We will help you locate the draw site most convenient for you.
The specific tests ordered will be personalized to you based on your initial evaluation with Rising Tide Wellness and may include blood, urine, saliva or stool testing.
The majority of lab costs will be included in your membership/package cost. We will make every effort to make you fully aware of any additional lab fees that may be incurred and to give you the opportunity to choose which lab tests you would like to have.
You are under no obligation to purchase any specialty testing.
Should any lab results indicate you may need further testing or imaging, you can consider completing that with your primary care physician or a relevant specialist, or, if possible, said diagnostic testing/imaging may be ordered by Rising Tide Wellness.
At home test kits: If a lab test kit is mailed to you by Rising Tide Wellness, you may be charged separately for that specialty test (if it is not included in your membership/package cost).
Where is your office located
Rising Tide Wellness is proud to be a virtual practice serving individuals across South Carolina.
Do you feel hopeless about your heath?
If you do, we understand your frustration, and that’s why we’re here to help.
We understand the disappointment of only being offered prescription after prescription for symptoms that never go away. We understand how hard it can be to not feel heard, understood, or worse, taken seriously for your chronic symptoms.
At Rising Tide Wellness, you will be empowered to take charge of your own health. Through functional medicine, we will give you the tools to know your body inside and out and to feel and look your best.
Our Approach
Our functional medicine approach is unique, personalized, and comprehensive. Our goal is much more than just resolving your chronic health complaints. We want to help you feel strong and resilient and to be a version of yourself you are proud of. We achieve this through a blend of traditional and functional medicine modalities to safely create optimal health and well-being.
Discover Root Causes
At Rising Tide Wellness, we ask the question “Why?” We focus on getting to the root cause of your symptoms by addressing imbalances that are responsible for virtually all symptoms you’re experiencing right now.
Why We Are Different
Functional Medicine is the medicine of the future. We use it to restore your body’s innate healing potential, and not just treat symptoms. It uses a combination of diagnostic testing with healthier lifestyle practices, to treat the whole person and not just parts of your body.
