I welcome patients that are open to making changes in these areas that will assist their care and lead them toward a state of health and wellness.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary therapy, herbal medicine, needling, cupping, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of nuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.
