Health Professionals near Woodbury, CT

I am a non-diet Registered Dietitian and a gut health expert practicing from a weight-inclusive approach. I help my clients find relief from digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Disease (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Gastroparesis, Colitis, and GERD. I have also designed techniques and programs to empower chronic dieters, disordered eaters, and those in eating disorder recovery to mend their relationship with food and their bodies. My goal is to empower you to choose dietary interventions for the pursuit of health and wellness instead of using diets to manipulate your body for thinness.

Have you been there, done that, tried everything and still not feeling better? Perhaps you went on a diet, lost significant weight, only to stagnate, and watch in disbelief as it all crept back with a little more. Maybe you are at your ideal weight, look great on the outside, but struggle with digestive, endocrine, and mental health challenges that defy conventional interventions when you are lucky enough to receive a proper diagnosis. Do you struggle maintaining a healthy cholesterol or blood sugar balance? Are you tired of trying to navigate through conflicting and continually changing guidelines?

In order to help my patients, I need to know their story. Health problems don't start the first time that a person has a pain, or the first night of insomnia. They started well before that first bout. For example, the problem started long before one develops IBS: IBS is a symptom of the problem. That is why it is so important to take a full history--not just current things but things that may have begun in childhood. So what I do is to listen and ask questions and listen. Once we are both satisfied, we can develop a plan--the goal of which is to help you reach YOUR best state of health.

Often times people wait until they are diagnosed with a chronic disease before implementing change into their daily routine. I work one-on-one with clients with the intention of preventing chronic disease states, such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other other life-altering diseases through lifestyle. Achieving a healthy weight and a supportive gut are how we can eat to beat disease. An optimal gut plays a major role in preventing disease, regulating hormones, boosting immunity, and more. It's never too late to start living well.

Nicknamed as "The Magic Hands" by my patients, I am a Christian acupuncturist who has been blessed by the LORD with healing talents. I was trained by both Chinese masters in Hong Kong and the United States. I am the only practitioner who combines acupuncture, stress management, meridians body work, floral tea, and oriental diet in each patient visit. Chinese physical medicine from my grandmother allows me to enjoy great success rates in treating pain. I discharged a patient with neck pain after only one visit, and another patient experiences no more back pain and restless legs after 3 treatments.

Combining my experience of over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, along with eleven years now as an Acupuncturist, I bring a compassionate, trauma informed study and hands on body wisdom to your treatment.

The goal of my clinic is to restore a person's body to balance and optimal health. This is accomplished by using the constituents of the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and neurotransmitters as well as addressing physical and energetic mis-alignments. Success is also achieved by considering as many aspects of a person as possible, or treating the whole person, and not just relieving a set of isolated ailments; the premise behind Naturopathic medicine is to find the root cause of illness and to address health concerns at their very core, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.
