As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND), I am medically trained in conventional medicine and alternative medicines. I am licensed as a Primary Care Doctor and treat men, women and children of all ages. Most people believe that when it comes to their health & the health of their families, they must either choose the conventional medical model OR alternative therapies. As an ND, I am able to draw from the best of both worlds, thereby providing the highest quality care available. I perform physical examinations including routine gynecological exams, order and interpret lab tests and diagnose and treat disease.

Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!

I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science. I’ve lived with PCOS for over 15 years, and I know personally how frustrating this condition can be and how it can affect your quality of life. Many people living with PCOS often feel broken and that their body has betrayed them. The good news is this condition can be managed and these symptoms minimized or eliminated entirely with diet and lifestyle changes. Are you ready to move away from anxiety at mistrust around your body and start to truly feel at home in your own skin?

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

I am a chiropractor with 30 years of experience! The adjustment has a tremendous healing effect to the brain, and musculoskeletal system. Improving joint function, and reducing pain are the hallmark. Digestive stress is a major cause of chronic pain. We tend to eat the same foods over and over, ignoring the symptoms of digestive stress. Constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn are common symptoms. What we eat regularly affects all of our bodily systems. We improve digestion with enzymes, and nourish the stressed organs with herb/enzyme supplements.
