Health Professionals near Hollister, CA

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!

My passion & purpose lies in restoring optimal health through the investigation & understanding of each patient's unique physiological functioning, mental & emotional influences, lifestyle & environmental factors, & spiritual nature. Healing protocols are designed in conjunction with the patient based on their goals, needs & unique disposition to aid in health & life transformation. I believe in a teamwork approach, working with patients to help educate & empower them, guiding them into an awareness & responsibility of their health & life choices. I treat a broad range of acute & chronic conditions, utilizing multiple approaches.

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.

My treatment focuses on mobilization of the joints with muscle relaxation. Chiropractic is more effective when the muscles are addressed concurrently with adjustment. To better serve my patients I use myofascial release (a deep tissue therapy that breaks up muscle adhesions and scar tissue) with trigger point work and stretching. I also believe strongly in active care and give my patients exercises to do at home that complement the treatment in the office. A patient who does the active care will get better faster than those who rely on the treatment alone.

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?
