What to Expect at Your First IV Therapy Appointment

At the Marsden Centre, your first IV therapy visit is more than just a treatment—it’s a step into a deeply supportive, whole-person approach to healing.

Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, recovering from treatment, or looking to optimize your health, we’re here to guide you with care that goes beyond the basics.

A Welcoming, Calming Environment

Our IV therapy space was designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll be welcomed into a clean, peaceful treatment area equipped with comfortable recliners, warm blankets, soft lighting and screening for prvacy. We want your session to feel like a restorative pause in your day.

You’ll be under the care of licensed naturopathic doctors with advanced training in IV therapy. The Marsden Centre is a recognized leader in this field—we train hundreds of practitioners across Canada, and our safety protocols and clinical excellence set the standard for others.

Before Your Appointment

Your IV therapy journey starts with a full naturopathic consultation. This helps us:

• Review your symptoms, health history, and goals

• Interpret any relevant lab work

• Ensure that IV therapy is safe and appropriate for your needs

• Create a personalized IV formula based on your metabolic needs and health priorities

Once this is complete and your formula is finalized, your IV appointment will be booked.

During Your IV Appointment

• Check-In: You’ll be greeted by our care team and escorted to the IV suite.

• Preparation: Your vitals will be taken, and we’ll review any updates to your health status.

• Administration: A licensed ND will insert your IV and begin your infusion slowly to monitor comfort and response.

• Relax & Replenish: You’ll rest comfortably for 30–90 minutes depending on your formula. Many patients read, nap, or simply unwind during this time.

You’ll be monitored throughout your infusion to ensure everything goes smoothly.

After Your Appointment

You may feel an immediate sense of relaxation or increased energy, depending on your treatment. Some patients experience subtle benefits that build over time, especially when part of a broader care plan.

Our team will review next steps, including:

• How often you might need treatment

• Whether additional testing is recommended

• How IV therapy fits into your overall plan
