About Katallage Wellness Center

What is Katallage Wellness Center?

Katallage Wellness Center is an integrative, functional and anthroposophic medicine clinic at 73 Front Street in Shirley, Massachusetts. It describes anthroposophic medicine as combining conventional medical practice with natural remedies and spiritual insight, and it describes functional medicine as a systems biology approach. The prescribers it names are Dr. Henri Balaguera, MD, Nicole Speckhard, PA-C, and Caitlin Champoux, RN.

The clinic lists integrative cancer care using mistletoe, IV vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid and ozone therapy. It also lists hormonal support for thyroid health, HPA axis dysregulation, prostate, perimenopause and menopause, and it says its functional medicine protocols include hormone replacement therapy. IV therapy, including IV nutrient and amino acid therapy, is also offered. Appointments can be in person or virtual. Google lists the clinic as a holistic medicine practitioner and shows a 4.8 rating from 19 reviews. In its own words: "We look beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of imbalance."

This listing is for its Shirley office at 73 Front St.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether any fee includes medication. Before booking, ask for the cost of the first visit, any hormone therapy, IV therapy and lab work, in writing. Its terms say it makes no guarantees about the therapeutic effect of its supplements and does not refund opened or used supplements unless they are defective, so ask about refunds before you buy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will manage hormone therapy, since the clinic does not say which of its three named prescribers does. Ask which hormones it prescribes, because the clinic does not name them, and whether testosterone is one of them. Ask whether a prescription is brand-name or compounded, and who makes it.

Ask what lab work is required before starting and how often it is repeated. Ask whether follow-up visits, including virtual ones, are billed separately. Ask whether insurance is accepted, and if not, what a cash-pay visit costs.

If you are considering mistletoe, ozone or IV vitamin C for a cancer-related concern, ask how the clinic coordinates with your oncologist and what each treatment costs per session. Ask how to cancel or pause a plan and whether a deposit is taken.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an integrative approach, in person or by video, and you are willing to get prices, prescriber names and medication details in writing before you pay. If you are looking for a named weight-loss medication program or a published fee list, the clinic does not describe either, so call first and ask.
